(intro (x7))
Hey Louis
Wonderful world, terrible song, everything s gone horribly wrong
Cars are too fast cos the drivers are slow
.
Joy-ride boy died and I think to myself.
From Magdalene to Sellafield there s scant regard for how we feel
Sheep are green, dead roses too
.
I know it sounds bleak but hey, dont despair.
Cos even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augers well for mankind
And that s what life s about.
The raft of dreams we sailed in the bay has foundered on the reefs of today
Ill wind blows through my cape of no hope
.
Dock Road can-lad on the end of a rope
Yet by the stream in summer time, the charming lark, the country chime
Smite this faithless pantomime
.
Welcome to the daylight at the back of my mind.
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augers well for mankind
( )
And that s what life s about.
.
Trouble is these days you never see a dog on the pitch.
