91. School Team
4
I always wanted to play
5
In the school football team
6
But the coach said I wasn't fast enough
7
I wasn't no good it seemed
8
I used to watch them practice
9
But I never got a game
10
I went to every trial they had
11
But every time I failed
12
I didn't want to be Pele
13
Unlike all my mates
14
That wasn't my ambition
15
I just wanted once to play
16
The football team would travel out
17
Playing other schools
18
But they'd never take me on the bus
19
Although I begged them to
20
Of course they'd all return
21
With talk of Robbo's goals
22
And how little Nobby Forder
23
Took the defense all on his own
24
All the ninety minutes were relived
25
Well, that's how to me it seemed
26
As I sat in awe and watched myself
27
Playing in my dreams
28
In my dreams...
29
Playing in my dreams...
30
In my dreams...
31
But never once the real thing
32
They'd never let me play
33
They just said I wasn't good enough
34
And I'd just get in the way
35
But then one day it happened
36
A real scorcher in mid-March
37
Paul Robbo broke his leg
38
And Nobby Forder holidayed in France
39
Kevin Soaper and Big Nose Duggan
40
They both caught chicken pox
41
They were both at home confined to bed
42
To nurse their itchy spots
43
It was the all-important semi-final
44
Second leg of the cup
45
Against local rivals Queensbury Boy's School
46
They were one nil up
47
The coach turned to me in desperation
48
And he pleaded for my help
49
"This is it, your big chance David!
50
Can you make the numbers up?"
51
Well I grinned from ear to ear
52
And I must have looked quite chuffed
53
As I seized my opportunity
54
And told him to get stuffed!
