Fan’s Lament.

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We’ve paid our dues with 1-0 bores,
Games we lost, should be draws,
Striking forwards who couldn’t score.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Standing in the pouring rain,
Same old story, the same refrain;
Keeper’s missed the ball… again.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Why can’t someone in our socks
Score inside the six yard box?
Pretty girls from Woolwich docks

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Could better some we’ve seen;
Carthorse donkeys, old ‘as beens
And when we get one young and keen

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 We sell ‘im on to pay the wages.
Up, and down throughout the ages,
Please can’t you turn the history pages.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Queued up for Kiernan’s autograph,
Seen games die in the second half
and queued to pee… you daren’t laugh.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 We’ve paid our dues a hundred times,
Parked near double yellow lines
And even paid the parking fine!
