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.

I’VE GOT CROSS-BARS ON MY BROW.
SO JUST SQUEEZE ME INTO THAT FOOTBALL STRIP –
I’M YOUR CENTRE-FORWARD NOW!

I’M SO MAD ABOUT THE GAME.

while the light bobs all around us
in The Tyne.
