2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 THERE’S A FOOTBALL APOUNDING IN MY HEART,
I’VE GOT A PIG’S BLADDER FOR A BRAIN.
BECAUSE I CARE ONLY ABOUT HITTING GOALS,
I’M KICKING AROUND IN THE RAIN.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 YES, I’M FOOTBALL CRAZY, I’M FOOTBALL MAD,
I’M SO MAD ABOUT THE GAME.
I CAN KILL A BALL AND MAKE A PASS,
SCORE WITH A HAT-TRICK OR WITH A LASS.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 THERE ARE GOAL-POSTS ALL AROUND ME,
I’VE GOT CROSS-BARS ON MY BROW.
SO JUST SQUEEZE ME INTO THAT FOOTBALL STRIP –
I’M YOUR CENTRE-FORWARD NOW!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 YES, I’M FOOTBALL CRAZY, I’M FOOTBALL MAD,
I’M SO MAD ABOUT THE GAME.
I CAN KILL A BALL AND MAKE A PASS,
SCORE WITH A HAT-TRICK OR WITH A LASS.

those days will never leaves us.
Its goals will stay inside us
in our hearts.

all the winners and the losers,
while the hope flows on inside us
in The Tyne.

our strength will always bind us,
and the love will always guide us
in our dreams.

the ups and downs of fortune,
while the light bobs all around us
in The Tyne.
