lyrics

Playing the long ball game to your heart
Distant and desperate and flawed from the start, but
There’s never been a plan b
So it’s hit n’ hope, it’s wait and see

More Jordi Cruyff than Johan;
The shadow of another man.
Your fifth choice, on the bench
Useful when there’s no one else…

Playing the long ball game to your heart
Basic, outdated and doomed from the start
But there’s never been a plan b
And you’ve closed me down so easily

With my Kevin Kilbane conviction
Graceless, slow-paced but persistent…
My failure’s only 99 per cent
So the willingness alone keeps me relevant

If I could be just a bit more German
A bit better at taking my chances
If I could be just a little less Irish
Less anxious in my advances…

It’s not good enough to be your runner up anymore.
