1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The English fans,
Full of hopes and dreams,
Anxiously wait for news,
About their super team.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Without a twitch,
England qualify for the next round,
Where they will play Portugal,
At Portugal’s home ground.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The night looks strong,
As Owen puts us in front,
It’s made us more eager to win,
So for us, victory is on the hunt.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 At the end of ninety minutes,
The score is neck and neck,
We have to play extra time,
English people are a nervous wreck.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 But after thirty minutes,
We’re as equal as before,
So we have to go to penalties,
Can we really take much more?

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 First comes Beckham,
A super-hero that’s for sure!
But, sadly he’s let us down
And Portugal have the better score.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Thankfully, the Portuguese miss out on one,
Which puts us back in the game,
Penalty after penalty,
Is it me or is this getting quite lame?

Could this be the end?
Silence hit’s the ground,
It’s Portugal’s turn again.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Lucky for them,
their goalie scores,
And knock England out
Of Euro 2004.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Everyone’s sad,
Tear’s fill up our eyes.
England have lost.
But then again, is that a surprise?

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 So instead of getting angry,
We simply look ahead,
To the World Cup 2006,
When the madness starts again..
