Other than that, Tube Station and Bitterest Pill are my other Jam favourites. Title: Re: Best song by The Jam, and why? Post by: booder on August 11, 2009, 10:02:26 AM Butterfly Collector or Tales from Riverbank depending on my mood.

Post by: Pelham Boy on August 11, 2009, 10:11:27 PM Thick As Thieves would be in my top three. The song means so much to me, when i was seven a boy moved onto my street, then until we were sixteen/seventeen we did everything together, went to school, played football, got into trouble, you name it we did it.
Then when we left school, we drifted apart, we both found new friends and did different things. He got into drugs and i didn't see him for a couple of years. Five years after we left school i had a serious car accident, i was in hospital for five weeks, and one day completely out of the blue he came to visit me. I was so shocked i didn't really know what to say to him, but he stayed for ages and we talked about the old days. It could never be like it was before, but after that whenever we saw each other in the street or in the pub, we always stopped to talk or have a beer or two. Just before christmas in 2005, i probably hadn't seen him for at least six months or so, my mum called me to say that he had committed suicide. I think about him all the time. R.I.P Gary. Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now, We were so close and nothing came between us - and the world - No personal situations. Thick as thieves us, we'd stick together for all time, and we meant it but it turns out just for a while, we stole - the friendship that bound us together - We stole from the schools and their libraries, We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep, We stole from the drink that made us sick, We stole anything that we couldn't keep, And it was enough - we didn't have to spoil anything, And always be as thick as thieves. Like a perfect stranger - you came into my life, Then like the perfect lone ranger - you rode away - rode away, rode away - rode away. We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers, We stole autumn leaves and summer showers, We stole the silent wind that says you are free, We stole everything that we could see, But it wasn't enough - and now we've gone and spoiled everthing, Now we're no longer as thick as thieves. You came into my life - Then like a perfect stranger you walked away - walked away - walked away - walked away. Thick as thieves us - we'd stick together for all time, and we meant it but it turns out just for awhile, we stole the friendship that bound us together. We stole the burning sun in the open sky, We stole the twinkling stars in the black night, We stole the green belt fields that made us believe, We stole everything that we could see. But something came along that changes our minds, I don't know what and I don't know why, But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time, While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind. No - we're no longer as thick as thieves - no, We're not as thick as we used to be - no, We're no longer as thick as thieves - no, We're not as thick as we used to be - no it wasn't enough - and we've gone and spoiled everything Now we're no longer as thick as thieves One of Weller's finest lyrics.
