Anthony Durbin Tribute Full Version

I see big changes, everybody's walking around,
heads face the ground, you made us so damn proud.
The eleven man crew's one man down,
gone but not forgotten in Bath town.

I pinch myself at the thought of you,
I wish you could of sat and talked it through.
What can I say we all wake up everyday,
and say how did it end this way.

And now all we got are shirts for you,
Durbz 5, and I don't even like Man U,
but I went out and spent 50 quid for you,
I wish we could rewind it back a year or two.

I never thought you'd end like this,
and who'd have thought you'd play out like this,
that cheeky grin and the laughs we'll miss,
you were such a laugh and are so greatly missed.

And Durbz we all got love for you,
if I was Doc Brown I'd come back for you,
travel through time and change things for you,
help you out and do the best I could do.

(Chorus)

Nowadays when I play in goal,
it'll seem the defence has a gaping hole.
I didn't know you in the wooley hat crew,
but the WESA boys all got love for you.

We're all closer now because of you,
one crew united representing you.
Your the angel that created all this, 
I hope you're free of problems and now in bliss.

So now you can watch over all of us,
and still witness times we cause a fuss,
but to heaven you're such a plus,
and one day you'll be reunited with all of us.

That's the way life is supposed to be,
each one of us has got our own destiny,
and Durbz you were a great friend to me,
I'll see you waiting at those pearly gates for me.

(chorus)

Now it all seems to be moving on,
and your family and mates are trying to stay strong,
I can't help feeling that it's so damn wrong,
you lived life to the full but it weren't for long.

And all the fit girls that you had,
something of a jack the lad,
it makes us all so very sad,
but I knew you and for that I'm glad.

You had your whole life infront of you,
so many roads but you couldn't see through,
I guess it all became to blurry for you,
and that's the reason you did what you did do.

Chilling with you days before you died,
and when we found out everyone of us cried,
no more WESA photos of us side by side,
because such a talented life was denied.

And now we all live on in your honour,
to the full, who knows what's around the corner,
But you will always be one of us,
God chose you to be the angel watching over us.
