We Didn’t Start The Fire: A Football Edition

~ Frank Solanki ~ 2 Comments

This is a complete cover of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire. Last week I put a short cover out and I thought I’d top that one now. With so many controversies surrounding the beautiful game recently, I felt it was apt to make this song solely about it rather than global issues/affairs. Initially I was hesitant because I thought I would run out of ideas to put in the lyrics but it turned out not to be the case. In fact I had a lot of fun doing the lyrics. The lyrics are mentioned in the video’s description. As you will notice, the names/events mentioned in the song relate mostly to the 21st century; that is the period during which I have personally experienced and enjoyed football. So head over to youtube and enjoy the video! Waiting to hear your response.

A Footballer’s Life Is So Much Fun

~ Frank Solanki ~ 80 Comments

A footballer’s life is so much fun

Getting paid to kick and run

If there’s something they have won

It’s a contract worth a trillion

…

You see them smile. You see them laugh

When posing for a photograph

Fans dying for their autographs

Like they’re pink polka-dotted giraffes

…

They drive around in fancy cars

Meet celebrities and superstars

Drink wine and smoke cigars

In the city’s expensive bars

…

At the peak of their shallow fame

They find themselves beautiful dames

Who act in films with royal names

And take home awards and acclaims

…

Here I am with my loyal cat

Writing about this and that

Growing old with belly fat

Such’s a life of a poet
