A one for the football fan.

When I close my eyes
My mind is bursting with colours
I am living the night
Back on my dad's shoulders

The towering lights shining down
The steaming plastic cup of bovril
The togetherness that I've been found
Red and white army people sang

The net rippled and all went loud
Everyone went crazy in the fullwell end
As a child it was a good kind of scared
All had settled and we ate our mince pie

Walking back home on a wet cold night
The lights of roker park disappearing as we walked through the crowds
Talking about Where's the passion and Where's the fight
The hope of hungry players and better results but never seemed to work out

But...
When I close my eyes
My mind is bursting with colours
I am living the night
Back on my dad's shoulders...x
