1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 So near and yet so frustratingly far,
another year away from the glistening Premier star
while we twinkle at a lower height
where we can only distantly view the light
given off by the array of foreign skill
we can only wish for… still.
And so it’s adios Arsenal,
Auf Wiedersehen Aston Villa,
arrivederci Chelsea,
slovo Liverpool
dovidenia Derby County and
farvel Everton.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 While it’s labas Leicester,
god dag Barnsley,
salut! Scunthorpe,
Hallo! Hull,
ahoj Wolverhampton and
buenos dias Bristol City.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 And to the millions we’ve lost in sky money?
Our pitiful parachute cash that just isn’t funny?
To Koumas and Kamara and our other fleeing stars?
To all of that, we say a sad au revoir.
