1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s an English fella lauding it in his mansion
A fleet of jam jars in the drive
Who will never know or feel the adulation
Which inspired this great nation, to believe that we just might…

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Beat our old foe out on the playing field
In a match of strength v silky class
Then out fight and out muscle causing them to yield
To end the game dejected, lying spent upon the grass.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The Indian sign is finally broken
(A.K.A.The German curse on us)
Now we’ve a talisman (to help us grow)
In our self belief and thus go on a winning run.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Yet even when our penalty shout went up
I put me head deep in my hands
Screaming;” It’s the bleetin Germans we’re bound to fluff it
Bleetin hell, we’re bleetin damned”.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Then The Ice Queen focused with her all
Pushing their delaying theatrics from her mind
Ran forward and lightly caressed the ball
In to the silken goal net, a fete to be deeply etched in time.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 The whistle blew and a nation went radio rental
Followed by emotional tears of joy and pain
How fitting Lucy Bronze (sic) get’s a third place medal
But it’s the English Ladies team what won the game

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 So farewell to the wonderful nights as under-dogs
When we would all stay up late and dream
The girls would really go for it (so we could tell the boss)
“I was up late watching England’s Ladies team”
“That’s okay, especially now we’re ranked World number three!”.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 To the English fella lauding it in his mansion?
Have a taste of what winning to this country means
Then try and fathom out if you can my son
The meaning of playing football for… the benefit of the team.

Notes

Lets hear it (Big Time) for The English Girls. A blinding game, and tonight’s final will have to be something really special to beat last night’s exciting contest.

Lucy Bronze is magic…

Stay well,be lucky and keep smiling.

Peace.

Kev.
