1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 From the Gallowgate to the Park Lane,
there was but one concern,
that Gazza never discovered:

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Some tears run deeper than others,
some tears run deeper than others.
Some late tackles heal slower than other late tackles.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 As El Tel said to Steve Sedgley,
as he opened a crate of ale,
ooh i say:

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Some tears run deeper than others,
some tears run deeper than others,
Some late tackles heal slower than other late tackles.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 As Gascoigne said to Georgie Best,
as he adjusted a plastic breast,
Well i say:

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Some careers are prized over others,
some careers are prized over others,
some flawed heroes are prized above other flawed heroes.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 So lend me your Spurs shirt,
the one that beat Seaman
And, if I could, i’d save you now.
