football fugue

Singer:pete townshend

i was listen to a guitar

bass drum thing

started hearing chairs screech

thought i had a gut strength

then i saw a big band

right on the pavement

violins and heavy boots

wondering where the wave went

you!

what?

i'm talking to you

you're wearing the wrong colored scarf

so what?

well you're playing your tune

to the terrors of the enemy hauf

hey you!

what?

i'm talking to you

concentrate on the game

what for?

well the whistle just blew

the conductors prone to complain

play the song

on the wall

come on son pass me the ball

don't let the violinist trouble your playing

fierce looking people

but their manager's gay

syncopation to the sound of the ball

trouble with the ref

on in the concert hall

hey you!

what?

that cellist was fouled

that conductor must be blind

it's a goal!

whew

oh look at the crowd

this session has run into extra time

sit back

face off the senior

doesn't walk alone

music has arrived at the football stadium

a logical step would be spurs at the palladium

fifty thousand watts screaming out for a goal

why don't they blow a whistle in rock and roll

hey you!

what?

get back in your seat the song has only just begun

so what?

we need two encores to beat

and the band needs space to run

hey you!

what?

get down off of the wire

the spirit of the game is still strong

say's who?

well i'll never tire of kicking my piano along

all you fans of the score

if you give a show of support

we'll. win?
