My father didn’t want you to seel the light of day My mother was too weak to have her own way So out with him, they took you from her womb They got rid of the boy, the spirit not quite so I never walk alone, you see Cause you are watching over me Though I can’t see you I can feel The brother who was not to be We could have been bankers, or capatins of the sea The perfect foils always, the perfect company Look at the krays, the coynes, look at the kennedys We could have roamed the world in perfect telepathy I'm never on my own, you see Cause you are always here with me Though I can’t see you I can feel The brother who was not to be I wonder how my life would be Had I seen you grow up with me Guitar and vocals, drums and bass We could be in a band or three You know I found myself in quite a slump Yes, on occasions I was dumb A dui and carnal vices Fate I'm sure had rolled the dices But you were always there for me From any harm you sheltered me But don’t you worry, we’ll be together soon Don’t you worry, we’ll be together soon Shalala shalala I wonder how my life would be Had I seen you grow up with me Guitar and vocals, drums and bass We could be in a band or three I never walk alone, you see Cause you are watching over me Though I can’t see you I can feel The brother who was not to be The brother who was not to be The brother who was not to be
