FOOTBALL LADS ALLIANCE(Lyrics Robert Cunliffe)
I'm a walking cliché,

A parody of myself,

An anachronism,

A shit left on a shelf.
A looming, leering legacy

Lurching up the lane,

A pot-bellied pestilence

On the move again.

(Chorus)
Middle-aged munchkins,

Masquerades of men,

Half-boy half-biscuits

Marching past Big Ben.

Who looks down upon them

In fear and in shame,

Fear of what they're capable

And shame of the same.

Troops of old boy soldiers

With Muslims on the brain,

Afghanistan, Iran, Oman,

It's all just means the same.

Another barmy army

Conscripted to cause pain,

Heading up to London,

It's Hastings once again.

Fight them on the beaches,

Fight them in the fields,

Then back home to Bedlam

For cans and Happy Meals®.

Football Lads Alliance,

United round a ball,

Terrace temper tantrums,

Veterans of fuck all.
