The Boy Done Good

By Bragg/Marr

strange as it may seem

I once had my football dreams

G+6

but I was always the last one

the last to get chosen

when my classmates picked their teams

I guess that was the way it stayed

in every game I played

G+6

life just kicked me

and clattered and tripped me

til you picked from the parade

now I feel like I've won the cup

every time that we make love

forty five minutes each way

at halftime I hear a brassband play

the boy done good

the girl done better

seasons turn, we're still together

the sky's still blue

tomorrow is another day

You weren't that kind of a bird who

likes her studs to be covered in mud

Taking you to the pictures was a regular fixture

For one of life's eternal subs

though I tried hard acting tough

I just can't stand the taste of that stuff

Like some macho park player I got in the way of

In some grudge match against his pub

still I'm happier where I am today

now I've put my boots away

I guess I'll never get picked to play

my song on Match of the Day
