The Road To Hull (full version!)

(with apologies to Christopher Anton Rea â a fellow cancer survivor!)
Part 1
Stood still on the High Street
I saw a y*dd* by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own,
Reflecting my own feelings.
Well he walked up to me - slow and sad -
He was bent down real low -
A fearful pressure paralysed him in the shadows.
He said, âMate, what are you doing here?
Our loss of points has turned me to a wreck!â

I said âWelcome, old chum, to the valley of the Poch -
Heâs turned out dull!â
He said âPal, is this the road to Hull?â
On our journey down the Premier League
As we pass now through a lull -
We have got to face a match away to Hull!
Part 2
Well Iâve sat there in the Paxton,
Seen the teamwork doesn't flow -
It fails with every player you can think of!
Now weâre underneath the spotlight -
Though the light of joy weâve known -
Maybe falling further down in the table!

And the concerted fear of failure
Chokes the smile on every face;
My football sense is saying âThis is dull!â

This ain't no super-tactical breakdown -
Oh no, this is the game with Hull!
And other teams climb up the table
Theyâve got players that we knew -
While weâve just b(r)ought in some losers
Whose footie skills are few.
Oh look out world, take a good look (at)
What happens here!
We must play our football fast and play it well!
We need an upwardly mobile Spurs team
But first, this is the game â âsaid - this is the game -
This is the game - with Hull!
Prediction: Hull 2 Spurs 2
Scorers: Kane, Eriksen
Not optimistic, but maybe the turn-around can begin here â among those familiar faces!?
Cheers, Spurf!
