May Contain Hope ~ World Cup 2014 Remix

Crispin Thomas

Wednesday, June 13th, 2018

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 it’s hard work watching England
like watching fresh paint dry
the old guard have departed
we’re giving kids a try
we lower expectations
the flags are far and few
we should at least be grateful
we made the thirty two

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 we never thought we’d see the day
when this World Cup would be
without the likes of Holland
Chile ….Italy
the test will be the big boys
but hey it’s here at last
forget our hate of FIFA
for now it’s in the past

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Up first we face Tunisia
and then it’s Panama
before the might of Belgium
at least we’ll get that far
we dare not look who we might face
if we should make it through
remember Wales and Iceland
whatever else you do ?

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Wembley wasn’t crumbled
and built in just a day
we’re still a ‘work in progress’
there’s little more to say
our friendlies and prelimin’ries
they cloud the way we feel
we’re on another rocky road
a giant hamster wheel

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 the Vardys and the Sterlings
they flatter to deceive
we look to Kane and Rashford
to help us all believe
the cost of going won’t put off
our dreadful droning band
and still our fans will be there
to be the extra man

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 our manager has fresh ideas
and though he seems to cope
same old weasrning on the tin.
may contain hope !
