Supporting England

Supporting England's like being bipolar
one minute they'll win it the next it's over
we resort to branding them prima donnas
though we ourselves sure they'd win honours,

the cycle repeats 
quarter final beats
metatarsal feets 
penalty defeats

the proud scenes
singing God Save The Queen
luck not Irish green
victory only in dreams

the red cards we've seen shown
or the goals a many disallowed
singing football's coming home
and singing it proud

we are England
flying our Saint George cross
we're better than Scotland
playing like they're lost

we are prevented
bringing home what we invented
ideas of winning are demented
but in our destiny it's cemented

P.s I am demented

You made me smile Nick and I love the comparison to England being like bipolar. I guess many get demented over football - let's hope the ladies get to the finals they are doing so well:-) hugs Jan xx
