Band of brothers

 

Chorus:

 

There were only just seven of us

Went to school and we learnt to trust

In each other, we were a band of brothers

Looking out for each one and another

 

Verse 1

 

Ali could talk,

Hassan's fist did the talking

Mani tempered him,

Saad was always gawking

At the chicks

Who were in the mix

With Fadi's tricks

And what he did for his kicks

I was the nerd,

Always seen not heard

Gullu led,

and we hung on his words

 

 

Chorus:

 

There were only just seven of us

Went to school and we learnt to trust

In each other, we were a band of brothers

Looking out for each one and another

 

 

Verse 2:

 

School ended too soon

The band was broken

We each headed west

For fame and fortune

And life's lessons

and its sternest tests

We tried to stay in touch

We tried our best

 

Chorus:

 

There were only just seven of us

Went to school and we learnt to trust

In each other, we were a band of brothers

Looking out for each one and another

 

 

Verse 3:

 

Fadi was the first one

who was lost to us

Some chick broke his heart

And he stopped to trust

He is lost these days

in the U S of A

Google him often

But he has moved away

Ali's dad died

He rushed back home

Runs their business,

we talk on the phone

I learnt to talk

And sometimes write some songs

Sometimes i think of the band

Hard and long

Gullu is well,

making money in new york city

Hassan too is there

Sitting well pretty

Mani came back

with a rage in him

grew a beard and

we are now afraid of him

Saad, finally got married

he is a professional hubby

he is pussywhipped

and he is often harried.

 

Chorus:

 

There were only just seven of us

Went to school and we learnt to trust

In each other, we were a band of brothers

Looking out for each one and another

 

 

Outro Bridge:

 

How we lost touch

I couldnŐt tell you

Life happened

and free moments were few

Promises got broken

We drifted apart

Maybe we'll lunch together

Maybe this song is a start
