The Boy Done Good Lyrics

Billy Bragg

Strange as it may seem
I once had my football dreams
But I was always the last one
The last to get chosen
When my classmates picked their teams
I guess that was the way it stayed

In every game I played
Life just kicked me
And clattered and tripped me
Till you picked me from the parade
Now I feel like I′ve won the cup
Every time that we make love
45 Minutes each way
At half time I hear a brass band play

The boy done good
The girl done better
The seasons turn
We're still together
The sky′s still blue
And tomorrow is another day

The boy done good
The girl done better
The seasons turn
We're still together
The sky's still blue
And tomorrow is another day

Turned out you weren′t that kind of a bird
Who likes her studs to be covered in mud
Taking you to the pictures
Was a regular fixture
For one of life′s eternal subs
And I tried hard acting tough
But I just can't stand the taste of that stuff
Like some macho park player
I got in the way of
In some grudge match against his pub

Still I′m happier how I am today
Now I've put my boots away
I guess I′ll never get picked to play

My song on Match of the Day

The boy done good
The girl done better
The seasons turn
We're still together
The sky′s still blue
And tomorrow is another day

The boy done good
The girl done better
The seasons turn
We're still together
The sky's still blue
And tomorrow is another day

The sky′s still blue
And tomorrow is another day
