Before we donned the newest home shirt
Levi’s and DM boots
We football fans attended games
In our sharpest suits

In the days before Nike trainers
And team crest-branded caps
Fans would flock wearing polished brogues
And velvet bowler hats

The way the times change
Is amazing too see
From the days of my great-granddad
All the way through to me

And as I return from game after game
In retro shirts and jeans
I look back on the way things have changed
And wonder what it all means

‘Cause fashion changes as a rate of knots
It’s really quite a range
But regardless of what we wear
Our passion for the game will never change.

Men in suits have spoiled the game
With their soppy jackets and ties
They’re the reason you have to drop twenty quid
For a beer and a couple of pies

Whether they’re in the directors box
Or out on a corporate getaway
Their monopolization of a sport we love
Means it’s us plebs who really pay

We pay in blood and toil
To afford the cheapest seat
And through the nose for shirts and scarves
To wear while we get beat

So much for the game of the working class
So much for the common man
To secure tickets for a cup final
Would take some sort of dastardly plan

And I don’t wanna remortgage my home
To fund my loyal pursuit
Of a football team pricing me out
All because of those men in suits.
