4 Years ago I had a go at writing some England World Cup lyrics - Don't know why as I'm tone deaf and musically talent free (despite which I've never felt the urge and attempted to get on a TV Talent show).
The idea was generally that when we fail we can go back to playing a computer game version of the tournament and usually do better.
Anyway if anyone would like to hack it to bits and make something of it - I'd love to hear the results.
The dream ended in seventy, still looking for a fix,
Many years now, since Jules Rimet was held,
When will it be again, England rule the Football World,
Could it be this time, not four more years of pain,
New snippets of commentary, nationally ingrained,
Or will there be more heartbreak, as we fall along the way,
Turn once more for comfort, to that now vintage replay,
Now it’s time, yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget,
No complaints about decisions, or agonising injuries,
Keep the jubilation, no ‘it wasn’t meant to be’s’,
Team of skill & passion, bursting with National pride,
Conviction running through them, this time not to be denied,
At least in artificial realms, a manager without compare,
A record that’s not blighted, by decades of despair,
With all the skills required, not to pay the penalty,
But having lifted the trophy, return to reality,
Where it’s time, oh yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget,
Expectations growing,
Almost a sense of knowing,
That we can win,
As the tournament begins,
Pulling together a Nation as one,
Shoulder to shoulder as the anthem is sung,
We’ve kept on trying again and again,
This time we’re going to make amends,
Because it’s time, yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget – we won’t forget
and even if we fail,
in my own world we’ll succeed,
maybe not at first attempt,
instead of four years all I’ll need…
Is… -
a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget – we won’t forget
World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget – no we won’t forget
World Cup Reboot…

World Cup Reboot
It’s been a long time, since nineteen-sixty-six,The dream ended in seventy, still looking for a fix,
Many years now, since Jules Rimet was held,
When will it be again, England rule the Football World,
Could it be this time, not four more years of pain,
New snippets of commentary, nationally ingrained,
Or will there be more heartbreak, as we fall along the way,
Turn once more for comfort, to that now vintage replay,
Now it’s time, yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget,
No complaints about decisions, or agonising injuries,
Keep the jubilation, no ‘it wasn’t meant to be’s’,
Team of skill & passion, bursting with National pride,
Conviction running through them, this time not to be denied,
At least in artificial realms, a manager without compare,
A record that’s not blighted, by decades of despair,
With all the skills required, not to pay the penalty,
But having lifted the trophy, return to reality,
Where it’s time, oh yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,
Take the chances, go on shoot,
See the bulge, back of the net,
Make this a day, we won’t forget,
Expectations growing,
Almost a sense of knowing,
That we can win,
As the tournament begins,
Pulling together a Nation as one,
Shoulder to shoulder as the anthem is sung,
We’ve kept on trying again and again,
This time we’re going to make amends,
Because it’s time, yes it’s time -
For a World Cup Reboot,

See the bulge, back of the net,

Make this a day, we won’t forget – no we won’t forget
World Cup Reboot…
