EURO LOVE 2000

Crispin Thomas

Saturday, July 1st, 2000

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 another golden Euro football summer
these three weeks could make or break our love
the sun may be up in the sky a-shining
but sorry love ’cause Sky is in the pub

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 i’ve rearranged my life around the matches
i’ve had to quit some very awkward scenes
a festival a wedding and a party
to catch the lads and watch it in on the screen

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 seen Ireland throw it all away one summer
inside some smokey tent at Glastonb’ry
missed half a Madness gig for Maradona
to stuff us with a goal that shouldn’a been

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 i’ve made some bar turn over from Eastenders
i’ve done some pretty bad things down the line
the penalties – the Nevilles and the Waddles
no matter what – i got there ev’ry time

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 and i’ll spends days just waiting for the big one
the way i did when i discovered girls
but in my heart are three lions pounding louder
this football love’s the strongest in my world
