Black And White Army (Bringing The Pride — текст песни (Sting)

Work up early this morning and I jumped out of bed
I didn`t have to wear my work clothes, I put on this shirt instead
It`s a black and white jersey, it`s a thing I couldn`t hide
`Cos it`s almost a religion and I wear it with some pride

Now the streets are all empty in this little town of mine
I was born to make this journey like the ships outside
I`ve got my ticket to London, and a little bit of cash
I`ve got this black and white jersey nice and clean for the match

Now tell me, why is the whole world staring?
Must be the shirt I`m wearing

Black and white army
Bringing the pride back home, we`ll be
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
Black and white army

It`s been a long hard season, been a long hard year
And they`re telling us that we`re lucky, so lucky, to be here
But if we all stand together and hold our heads up high
We will raise up our voices and tell it to the sky

This time they can`t deny us
This time they won`t get by us

Black and white army
Bringing the pride back home, we`ll be
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
Black and white army

You`ll never understand us if you thought that we`d give up
`Cos it`s more than just a game, and it`s more than just a cup
`Cos we`re marching the length of England and I wouldn`t tell no lie
I`ll wear this black and white jersey till the day I die
