A shootout on Main Street at high noon, Buck
Bring your rusty six-shooter -- lots of luck!
You’ll need it, you see,
When up against me
Nobody survives calling me a schmuck!

Las Vegas Love
No one, knows the odds of the what happens.
No one, knows the reasons, from what is left behind.
All there lies is the pain and the tears,
of the different experiences, shared in a similar bind.
All just came to enjoy a fabulous event.
An interest, to embrace, and celebrate.
Instead comes the darkness, over time forms,
embodied by somebody's hate.
Last but not least, here comes the beast.
He unleashes his anger, above the many unknown.
Attention he should not get, for the matter he set.
For the importance, is love never, left them alone.
Everywhere there would be, and everywhere there was,
a love then became this courageous light.
Filtering down below, giving hope,
upon this sadden night.
The attitude of survival,
for the all, and not just self, reflected into action.
Even thou different was each, chance to live,
love was still the mighty reaction.
Let no satisfaction, ever be given,
to the monsters, whom with cruelty, spread the bait.
The only way to fight the hurtful contagion,
is to show the love, instead of the hate.

Many years of dreaming and searching
Will this be the year we finally stop hurting?
I can't believe these words are coming from my mouth
I can finally say England won a penalty Shootout
Three lions on our shirt and we won't be caged
This will be the year we perform on the biggest stage
In every game teamwork is vital
But here we are ready for the quarter final
We've Made it further than Argentina, Germany and Spain
Who needs a Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo when you have Harry Kane
Give the ball to Lingard, Alli or Marcus Rashford
Then they'll assist Kane to score
Football is all I've ever cared about, the world cup is the greatest show
During each game our confidence will grow
It could all go wrong with one mistake
But we know we're going to win as we have Gareth Southgate
It's no longer a secret, it's now known
That football is coming home
We're going all the way, I don't have any doubt
We're winning the world cup, because we finally won a penalty Shootout
