Match of The Day — текст песни (Genesis)

Released on "spot the pigeon e.p.", 1977.





Theres the reds and theres the greens

Super slicks and has beens,

Theyre accompanied by three men dressed in black,

Ones a whistle, two are flags, and quite often theyre the drags

Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back.



Yes match of the days

The only way, to spend your saturday



Each sides eleven men, with numbers on their backs

But at a distance they all tend to look the same

But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week

Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!



But match of the days

The only way

We spend our saturday



And thats not all, our mates the keepers

Slippin and sliding in the mud

Arms as long as creepers



Send him off ref ***!!++? ?

Where are your specs ref +++***!!!

Kick you to death ref !!xx**? ?

Oi! are you deaf ref x*+x*!!?



Theres a few things before we go

That I think you ought to know

Obstruction, body checking, heavy tackles

So put on your hat and scarf

Have a drink, have a larf

From the terrace you can see your men do battle



Yes match of the days

The only way

You can spend your saturday



Dont forget, the trainers with their sponges

Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches



Send im off ref ***!!++? ?

Where are your specs ref !***&&&!!!

Kick you to death ref !!xx**? ?

Oi! are you deaf ref x&+x&+!!?



...phfff! good game ey, ron? ...

...dyou see that goal in the second half? oh!...

...bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!...

...i reckon I shouldve had a bet on it myself!...

...we paid 400, 000 pound for him, you realise that? ...

...oh - look out, here comes a bottle ...

...yes, fancy a pint then? my round...
