1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Its a West London derby at the Cottage
Things are getting fraught
Sparky’s been a mite too competitive
All in the name of the sport!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We couldn’t get any tickets
The match was easily sold out
So we blagged a couple
From a Fulham players dad
Who didn’t mind helping us out

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Anyway back to the action
Sparky was holding his own
He was taking the whacks
And giving them back
In ways that it’s hard
To condone

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 This geezer sitting in front of me
Says “Hughes you’re an animal get off”
Well what could I do?
In defence of poor Hughes
But I laugh and start to scoff

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 This geezer with all of the verbal
Turns around to me and says ‘eff off’
I said “Who d’you think you’re talking to?
You and that big hole called a gob?”

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 My mate is tugging at my trousers
Whispering to me to sit down
The match is now just a backgound noise
As I argue and shout at this clown!

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Anyway it all calms down
We agree to disagree
The heat of the moment
Was all that it was
Nothing at all really!

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 We sit quietly
Through the rest of the match
With Fulham fans
Calling us cheats
My mates tells me ever so quietly
“The bloke you’re rowing with
Got us these seats!!!”

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 peace.

Notes

Another time me and my big mouth got us in trouble!!! I’m sure that Mark Hughes is more than capable of looking after himself without my help, aren’t you?

peace.

kev.
