Heart and Soul

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 No lines of Porsches in the car park,
No million pound mansions

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 No weekly pay packet
Of a hundred grand

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 No Prima Donnas
No formation diving teams

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 When these men fall
They get up again

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Kick the ball,
Chase it.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Spy a mate,
Pass it.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The game played
For the game’s sake.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 For the pride of the team,
For the pride of the town.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 A small stadium
A packed stadium

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Small town football,
Big time ambitions.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 The heart and soul
Of football lies here.

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 In the players hearts,
Not their wallets.
