Archel reminded us of the long lost art of the pastiche. This one has been gathering dust for a few weeks now: The Loneliness Of A Middle Aged Goalkeeper I'll take a second of the day to think about the goals that we’ve let in this year We’re 3 nil down, the pouring rain, I'm in between the frog and railway’s sticks again The full time’s looking colourful It's the colour of pub lager and protection of an open goal An open goal is wide on the field Wide on the field Wide on the field 'Til the posts come down. The right back, Ricky, slates the opposition but it doesn't mean that we will show studs There's a throw-in up the line, we'll pay the ref to add some time, and off we go (thud) The full time’s looking wonderful It's the wonder of the magic sponge and muddy pitches everywhere, no one cares Oh, you care I know You care I know You care I know Is it four nil or five? (guitar solo) On a soggy afternoon spent in dispute you'll give yourself a headache, ref So he took my name for hauling down their bleeding striker and a pen he gave! Have you seen the loneliness of a middle aged Goalkeeper, When he stops the ball and looks around Just like big Dave, He’s past it now The ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Won't you welly it in? Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Ball hit the stanchion Won't you welly it in? Take care. I'm going to play with my lego now.
