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
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
