Football(ish) Lyrics

[webmaster]

Name the song and band/singer

I've delved into the deepest depths of my CD collection for this, some of these are pretty obscure, I'll be amazed if you get them all.



He always beat me at Subbuteo, 'Cos he flicked to kick, and I didn't know.


I feel like I've won the cup every time we make love. 45 minutes each way, at half time I hear a brass band play.


So we went to a pub in Belsize Park, and we cheered on England as the sky grew dark.


Then he scores and you look like a fool


Mid table is nothing much in my book. It's alright though, because I can go for my walk around Cartmel mathematically safe.


How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?


Cheering Crowds in far off places


I came to see Lineker


Your travelling army of synthetic supporters would be taken away from you and thrown in the bin.


You're soon to be a man, you'll have it all and turn heads like you turn defenders.

I think the Undertones one is the easiest.

I doubt if you'd be able to find all of them with search engines.

Great quiz, Webbo.......

Next week:

1. Name the bloke who just walked past Webbo's window
2. Name the specific place that Webbo once visited sometime
3. Name the colour Webbo is thinking of

Got a better chance of getting those right, than the last lot

The problem with normal lyrics quizes is anyone can find trhe answers dead easy with a simple web search.

So I was trying to find a few that were so obscure it was impossible to 'cheat'.

Anyway, to answer next week's questions:

1. Craig Levein
(I live on the 13th floor, so you have to be Superman to walk past my window)

2. Kettering

3. Russet

 

[lazzer]

it worries me that you think of the colour russet mainly because it rhymes with gusset :-(

 

[homer]

it worries me that you think of the colour russet mainly because it rhymes with gusset

It worries me that your lateral thinking would lead you to that

 

[lazzer]

You know me too well

I nearly went for garnet, but decided against it due to the West Ham connections.

I've delved into the deepest depths of my CD collection for this

Cheering Crowds in far off places
It Ain't easy - Kevin Keegan.

what are the other tracks on this musical masterpiece like webbo?

 

[webmaster]

Lazzer has your email address changed?

I keep getting bounce messages when a PM alert email is sent to you.

It's only started happening since the server move, so it could be related to that.

That track was on a CD compilation of football records. They're mostly crap.

But I also have Keegan's Head Over Heels single, which was a hit with a capital S.
