I remember /when we used to come around to your mum's place
Through the back alley and the garden and that bust gate, >
chilling in that backroom with Potter n the gang,
Drinking cider that we'd got from that shop around the back,

early days, quite chilled
Started doing pills, bit of speed, always broke, had to
tick a g,
Acted like I liked the madness, but literally the life
that I was living was just killing me, but still I
would come round

Because I loved you and the old crowd,
You kept me under your wing, you were so sound
I really shoulda just kept my nose down
But I loved hanging with you and the lads, I was so proud

To have an older crew stood at my side
You and Potter, Pivvers and Itchy, I looked at you like
You were my big brothers
And we'd never break apart
But the future was about to break my heart, I'm talking bout

The man with a heart of gold, slung into a town of doom
Wrong place at the wrong time, cloud of blue
I could see you being happy in an other life
couple kids, puppy and a wife
But life aint easy, in fact its rough
and times are deep these days its too tough
But regardless of whatevers happened
if you wanna stay fam,
You'll always be my mate Stan

I hadn't seen you for /years but when I did
it was almost tears
cos I realised the man that I knew
had changed gears
I knew that you had dabbled with crack>
now you were bang on the smack
You'd moved away from a couple of beers
id heard it through the grapevine
Doing it day time, and late night
Regardless of the hour you made time
To buy a bag of brown and take flight
That's the kinda thing we do when we just hate life
I know this bruv
Cos I been there, I know this stuff
If I had a bag here I'd probably load it right up
And take mine, to let go of the stress in my life
But next day, I'd wish I'd never messed with that shite
I wish I could do more to help you
And tell you
That everything’s gonna be alright
But its hell, dude
Just remember when you’re sitting your cell,
I’m sitting in my cell too, I’m talking bout

The man with a heart of gold, slung into a town of doom
Wrong place at the wrong time, cloud of blue
I could see you being happy in an other life
couple kids, puppy and a wife
But life aint easy, in fact its rough
and times are deep these days its too tough
But regardless of whatevers happened,
if you wanna stay fam,
You'll always be my mate Stan

I remember when I heard Potter got life, n then Itchy
I couldn't believe it when it hit me, so many mates from past days were in prison or graves, it proper tipped me, over the edge, wish I was sober instead,

And then I see ya, living on the street bruv, got you a tent and some food and hoped that Jesus could somehow change ya, somehow save ya, I said see ya later, then went and prayed bruv,

I can't believe what I've heard now, it's taught me
I've read through the papers, I've heard the stories
It's such a shame, what you've done my mate
Can't believe what it's come to, it's rocked my brain

I wish I could do more to help you
And tell you
That everything’s gonna be alright
But its hell, dude
Just remember when you’re sitting your cell,
I’m sitting in my cell too, I’m talking bout

The man with a heart of gold, slung into a town of doom
Wrong place at the wrong time, cloud of blue
I could see you being happy in an other life
couple kids, puppy and a wife
But life aint easy, in fact its rough
and times are deep these days its too tough
But regardless of whatevers happened,
if you wanna stay fam,
You'll always be my mate Stan
