The last set of goalposts taken down, summer of odd numbered year

She says "if you're unhappy, then you gotta find the cure"

I prescribe me one more beer, beyond that I am unsure

I've thrown my goalkeeper forward, she's catenaccio
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Flotsam, Jetsam and Spindrift: all the girls I have loved

Dumped to earth by a spendthrift, gilt angels from above

And I saw God in the bathroom, I baptised him in sick

Embraced him around his cistern "c'est la mort!, enough of this"

"we are their Capel Celyn, they gotta keep their slippers dry

      F                       Bb
To empathise with Tory's to invite upon disease

    F                                 Dm        Bb
A safer bet's to pack your bags, go holiday in Eyam"
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I will take you where the sun shines, cast shadows on your face

Dm
Crawl into their deepest recess, 'til I freeze or dehydrate

F
We'll live and breathe it in real time, montage is for the dead

Am
And my heart's still doing Fosburys nowhere near finished yet
[Chorus]
