lyrics

dragged my arse back from the tanner's
sat down on the throne
chicken from el jannah's
yeah, i picked it up on the way home
and i can't stop googling my name
as i wait for the call
it's been about half a year
since i got my hands on the ball

and i've had it up to here with waiting round
and i'm on the bench as soon as i hit the ground
don't ask me to warm up
i've been hot since we took the series in 05
and i cant even cheer as they put it down

tabloids are hungry
they're hungry for yesterday's beef
but at the private ceremony JT pins it all on me
i hear the boys all laugh
as he takes another crack
well, i can't take it anymore
so i let myself out the back
i'll go

and the waterworks are starting to cascade
and i'm drinking beers like they were lemonade
and i'm running down the pitch
climbing up the scoreboard on the hill
thinking of the choices that i made

read a hit piece in the courier (inner west)
that don't impress me much
that was my crutch
now i'm out on my own but i know
i know, i know, i know i'll never walk alone
i'll never walk alone

stand by my side
they won't stand by mine
i stand by my side
they won't stand by mine

(thinking of the choices that i made)
i stand by my side
they won't stand by mine
never walk alone
alone
alone

Such a beautiful reimagining of a lovely MBV track. Makes me feel like I'm sitting alone in a small empty room on a grey cold morning during lockdown. Oh wait... that's what I'm doing! Ricardo Potoroo
