1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 If all the rumours had been true
Maybe we would have liked you better
Heroes should be flawed
Like us, victims of indecision
Indiscretions and imperfections
You were the media dream
Smiling through the storms
Denying it all, keeping it clean
Surviving close shaves to save sponsorship deals
Family man, three heirs to your throne
Three lions on your chest, ear clamped to the ‘phone
Listening to offers away from these shores
Moving through more welcoming doors

Notes

I wish him well. On the surface, he was an ordinary boy but he made the best of what he had and as a result is a multi-millionaire. Only he knows what it cost him to get there.
