Funny Old Game Songtext
von The Horne Section

The match is over, oh what a game
So much to talk about, so much to say
Here come the managers, their insight will be great
They′ll share their knowledge, I really cannot wait

It was a funny old game of two halves
But at the end of the day, the lads have worked so hard
You know I'll never comment on a referee′s decision
But as you have asked, I've seen them given

Well he's got something else in his locker
An extra yard of pace, to be fair he′s had a shocker
If anything he′s hit that ball too well
If it had been on target, it would have been a goal as well


It's a funny old game of two halves
It′s a funny old game of two halves
It's funny, strange, but not for laughs
It′s a funny old game

We saw a catalogue of errors from an embarrassment of riches
We'd win all our games on paper but they make us play on pitches
There′s no excuses, no complaints
But fixture congestion was probably to blame

There were some tired legs, tired legs on display
Perhaps a European hangover or just one of those games
They couldn't carry out my master plan
But he's got good feet (for a big)
But he′s got good feet (for a big)
But he′s got good feet for a big man

It's a funny old game of two halves
It′s a funny old game of two halves
It's funny, strange, but not for laughs
It′s a funny old game
It's a funny old game
