What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I fell on the playing field, the work of an errant heel
2
The din of the crowd and the loud commotion
3
Went deafening silence and stopped emotion
4
The season was almost done, we managed it 12 to 1
5
So far I had known no humiliation
6
In front of my friends and close relations
7
There's my father looking on
8
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm
9
With the captain of the other team
10
And all of this is clear to me
11
They condescend and fix on me a frown
12
How they love the sporting life
13
And father, it had such hopes for a son who would take the ropes
14
And fulfill all his old athletic aspirations
15
But apparently now there's some complications
16
But while I am lying here trying to fight the tears
17
I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger
18
Though I think I might lie here a little longer
19
There's my coach, he's looking down
20
The disappointment in his knitted brow
21
I should've known, he thinks again
22
I never should have put him in
23
He turns and loads the lemonade away
24
And breathes in deep the sporting life
25
The sporting life, the sporting life, how he loves
26
There's my father looking on
27
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm
28
With the captain of the other team
29
And all of this is clear to me
30
They condescend to fix on me a frown
31
How they love the sporting life
32
The sporting life, the sporting life, how they love
