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
