1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s a couple of kids who stand near me.
They talk about the game from every angle
And when they stop they talk about FIFA games.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 There’s a man who stands near me.
He can’t stay in one place as his body shakes
When he screams at the referee.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 There’s a man who stands nears me.
He’s watching the pitch but not hearing anything
Only the headphones in his ears.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 There’s a couple who stand near me.
She shouts and he shouts and they both
Drink tea at half time to keep warm.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 There’s a man who stands near me.
He’s got a quick wit that makes me laugh
And his friends can’t compete.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 There’s a man who stands near me.
He doesn’t move an inch and he never looks
Like he’s having much fun.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 All these people stand near me.
I don’t know their names but I know
I’ll see them on a Saturday afternoon at home.
