Lyrics:
Hardcore skater used to beOne of few who inspired meTo get into the punkrock sceneThe year I turned seventeenOur first song ever danny wroteFor teenage angst he was the antidoteAn uncut diamond full of strifeHis first demo changed my lifeHe's a rebel it's plain to seePunk rock rebel so full of strifeHe's a rebel and he'll always beSomeone who changed my lifeIt takes a lot for a man to stay unbowedHe's the one and only 'svag and proud'Partners we have been in crimeAnd in music from time to timeAlthough most known for his drinking skillsIt's not the side of him that gives me thrillsIt's the gifted poet I see in danTo me he'll always be 'the man'
