Team Spirit
Robert Wyatt · Box Set [2009]
Without one sweet push from your shine covered boot
I don't think, I just know I'll be grounded forever-
More over turn me â?? you can hardly miss me
I'm the one face down in the mud on the ground
I'll be stuck here forever, unless you come over
And kick me Hardy
I'm the best football you have got
I'll beat the lot
I'll take the cake
Be masterful, be my hero and be
-lieve me Hardy
If it's tough you want, then it's tough you've got
I mean if this is only a question of toughness
Survive me Hardy, or deflate me straight away
Beating shit out of me takes the hell out of you
If I'm nothing without you, then why stick it out?
You can pass me over
But I'm the only chance you've got
If you asked me
Here's my advice
Use me to go hell for leather and back
Kick me Handy
Without one sweet push from your shine covered boot
I don't think, I just know I'll be grounded forever-
More over turn me â?? you should just be thankful
That when it comes to the crunch, I'm the best of the bunch
At the end of the day you could easily say
That I come in handy
I'm the best football you have got
I beat the lot
I take the cake
Be masterful, be my hero and be
Greatful Handy
If it's tough you want, then it's tough you've got
I mean if this is only a question of toughness
Survive me Handy, or deflate me pronto
Beating shit out of me takes the hell out of you
If I'm nothing without you, then why stick it out?
You can pass me over
But I'm the only chance you've got
If you asked me
Here's my advice
Use me to go hell for leather and back
