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
He's a rebel it's plain to see
Punk rock rebel so full of strife
He's a rebel and he'll always be
Someone who changed my life
It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed
He's 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
It's not the side of him that gives me thrills
It's the gifted poet I see in Dan
To me he'll always be "the man"
