It’s almost the end of an era for many a football fan
As the really bad news filters through
Sky Sports News is going to be leaving us
And so no more Soccer Saturday on Freeview
For many a football fan who can’t afford the high cost
Of having all the satellite and Sky
It was the way of catching up on the day’s games
As well as watching Jeff Stelling laugh and cry
No more James Brown scoring and the infamous doll
No more seeing Chris Kamara miss a sending off
Instead the droll BBC Score Interactive
Which despite Gabby Logan is a real turn off
As many of us will possibly pass and mourn
The one thing that kept us tuned in that day
Think on that instead there’s other things to do
But none will be quite the same on Saturday.

(It’s scandalous that Sky Sports News is leaving Freeview, obviously an incentive to get people to subscribe to Sky I think!)

I don’t want to go back to work today
I’ve had too much of a good time
Enjoying the weekend with some good friends
Going to work seems like a crime
I know I value the free time that I have
And make the most of all that
I just wish it wouldn’t go so quickly
And soon end at the drop of a hat
I can’t wait till the next weekend to start
So I can have some more quality
It’s what I’ve wanted in my life
And I’m taking these opportunities gladly.

The season’s now here
What will happen to your team
In the next nine months?

Endless days of constant rain
Make you wish to be somewhere warmer
You can’t believe it started so well
And has gradually turned much colder
The wind howls from the hills
And the rain just lashes it down
Instead of you feeling rather sunny
You instead have a sulk and a frown
It’s wishing that it wasn’t so cold
So that you’d feel the Summer breeze
But Summer left us behind months ago
And now we’ll soon have Winter’s freeze.

When I was the mere age of twenty one
Music was a worthwhile trip into town that day
You had no Internet or online shops
You had to make the effort on a Monday
To check out the new releases that were out
Get the opinion of the friendly shop staff
Head home with the purchase and play it loud
Seeing if you felt your purchase was good or bad
Now it’s all digital short term consumption
That doesn’t fill me with the same sort of feel
That holding something physical in your hand does
It just seems all virtual and not so real.

(Ah, the old days of indie record shops such as Power Cuts.  How I miss them.)

I’ve got home from my break
And I know I have to wash
Everything I’ve worn when I was there
Because it needs a good clean
I just want to get it all done
So I feel like everything’s over
But I still feel like I’m away
And just don’t want to begin.

(We’ve all felt like this!)
