Текст песни Billy Bragg - God`s Footballer
Billy Bragg - God`s Footballer слова песни
God`s footballer hears the voices of angles
Above the choir at Molyneaux
God`s footballer stands on the doorstep
And brings the Good News of the Kingdom to come
While the crowd sing `Rock of Ages`
The goals bring weekly wages
Yet the glory of the sports pages
Is but the worship of false idols and tempts him not
God`s footballer turns on a sixpence
And brings the Great Crowd to their feet in praise of him
God`s footballer quotes from the Gospels
While knocking on doors in the Black Country back streets
He scores goals on a Saturday
And saves souls on a Sunday
For the Lord says these are the Last Days
Prepare thyself for the Judgement yet to come
His career will be over soon
And the rituals of a Saturday afternoon
Bid him a reluctant farewell
For he knows beyond the sport lies the spiritual
