lyrics

The grass is a quagmire, and I've missed the last train
Glad I've snuck in a couple of beers to the game
And the players look knackered as they line up at half way

And up in the Gods, we all hold our breath
As the striker shakes cramp from out of his legs
Know they're all digging deep for one final feat

And I'm not a man of faith
But desperate times call for desperate means of escape
And what I cannot stand is the wait before the walk

The low hum of nerves, the sound of the lights
Our man walks to the spot, we think he's carrying a knock
He sets the ball down in white, and he hits it top right, he's clinical

And I watch as their centre half takes aim and fires
Oh high, wide and handsome, we sing and we dance
And we rattle the firmament, we breathe, we give thanks

And I'm not a spiritual man, I never thought anyone other than me had a plan
But I look down and I'm clutching both of my hands together
We move between silence and rapture
Counting up all of the unlikely blessings we gather
From way, way, way, way up in the Gods
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We put on our coats, head for the gates
Wait for the colour to return to our faces
Maybe this is what faith is
