Hardcore skater used to be
One of few who inspired me
To get into the punkrock scene
The year I turned seventeen
Our first song ever danny wrote
For teenage angst he was the antidote
An uncut diamond full of strife
His first demo changed my life
Hes a rebel its plain to see
Punk rock rebel so full of strife
Hes a rebel and hell always be
Someone who changed my life
It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed
Hes the one and only svag and proud
Partners we have been in crime
And in music from time to time
Although most known for his drinking skills
Its not the side of him that gives me thrills
Its the gifted poet I see in dan
To me hell always be the man
