Wrecking The Bar

from The Project 9 Sessions by Chris Tavener

/

lyrics

I struggle to feel
The rabid appeal
Of kicking a ball in a net
My mate’s will prolong
The football that’s on
They bite their lips and they sweat
But there’s a part of me that helps me see their point of view
Don’t know the players
I don’t know the club
But I’m wrecking the bar if we lose

If we’re playing Spain
And they win the game
I’ll fight like a bull in a ring
If Switzerland score
Then you can be sure
My swiss army knife takes a swing
If Poland win I’ll make our local deli rue the day
Don’t the players
I don’t the rules
But I’m wrecking the town anyway

If we’re playing France
And they can advance
The bistro in town’s getting hit
If Germany win
A war will begin
The streets will be hit like the blitz
It’s not how well you win it’s just how bad you take the loss
Won’t know the players
I won’t know the club
But you can bet that I won’t give a toss

I struggle to feel
The rabid appeal
Of kicking a ball in a net
My mate’s will prolong
The football that’s on
They bite their lips and they sweat
But there’s a part of me that helps me see their point of view
Don’t know the players
I don’t know the club
But I’m wrecking the bar if we lose

Oh I don’t know the players
And I don’t know the club
But I’m wrecking the bar if we lose

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines ... more
