Stuck at the Bottom with You

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Well I don’t know why we’re feeling this fright,
But it’s clear that something ain’t quite right.
And our noses feel so out of joint,
Three games played and not a single point!
Clowns in the Boardroom,
Snowflakes on the pitch,
Stuck at the bottom with you.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Now we kicked off against Brighton,
And they beat us by three goals to nil.
Then at Spurs we let four more in,
So again a case of Satis Nil.
But the Cherry on the cake
Was when Bournemouth scored three late,
When we’d thought a two-goal lead was enough…

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 After that we don’t know what to say.
Thank God here’s an International Break.
And then it’s Aston Villa we play –
Might sneak a point or three from that game.
Meanwhile there ain’t much that we can do,
Cos we’re… stuck at the bottom with you!

Notes

This is a re-working of a song entitled Stuck in the Middle with You by Stealers Wheel. The You this version refers to is Everton Manager Sean Dyche, but let’s be clear, I am not calling for him to be sacked. I have every confidence that he will turn things round, just as he did last season.
