1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Several beers I had last night
and woke this mornin feelin shite,
Never thought that I`d be bad
and miss the match I feel so sad.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Could not raise my head from pillow
my body limp like a weeping willow,
Give my ticket to a girl down the street
thank god we didn`t get beat.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 At 1 o’clock I came down stairs
got on my knees and said my prayers,
Almighty god please clear my head
or else I`ll have to go back to bed.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 This was one of my worst hang overs
I’ve missed the game with Blackburn Rovers,
So annoyed from my evenings fling
I had to settle for the next best thing.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 I tuned the radio to football chat
the commentary was on so I`ll go for that,
Still so rough from nasty beer
laying on the bed wishing I wer`nt here.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 At the end of the game my heads still spinning
so annoyed about not winning,
Another game at Ewood Park
over the moors in the murky dark,

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 I’ve just been asked do I want a can
I`m now no longer a real beer fan,
A cup of coffee or a cup of tea
whilst feeling like this that’s all from me.
