Two Halves
Richard Dawson
[Verse 1]
Bellowing instructions from the touchline, that's my dad
Purple  in the face‚ getting really mad

[Chorus]
Man  on! Man on!
An empty stadium yells "man on"
Come on! Come on!
The  cross goes sailing wildly over the heads of everyone

[Verse 2]
"Stop  fannying around! Keep it nice and simple!"
"You're not Lionel Messi‚ just pass the bloody ball!"

[Chorus]
Man  on! Man on!
An empty stadium yells "man on"
Come on! Come on!
The cross goes sailing wildly over the heads of everyone

[Verse 3]
Perhaps  we were expecting this to be a walk in the park
But these bastards from King's Priory
Are kicking lumps out of us
[Chorus]
Man on! Man on!
An empty stadium yells "man on"
Come on! Come on!
The cross goes sailing wildly over the heads

[Verse 4]
Their left back slips taking a free kick
It trickles over the mud straight to me
In desperation he scrambles and slides
I leap his flailing leg and dink it
Over the sprawled body of the goalie
The net is gaping
The ball takes a bobble and I slice wide of the mark
Everything goes quiet
Staring into the red dark of my palms
They launch a long ball into our box
Suddenly we find ourselves with a corner to defend
I am on the near-post
Somehow it gets bundled underneath my feet
At the final whistle I am inconsolable

[Chorus]
Man on! Man on!
I reckon dad is really disappointed with me
Come on! Come on!
He tries his best to not show how he really feels
[Outro]
In the car home‚ he says "dust yourself down
Move on to next week's game
Shall we pick up a Chinese or would you rather fish and chips?"
