Chumbawamba - 95. Tubby Barlow слова песни
Posed like swallows before a diveFive lanes, and on the left hand sideStands Tubby Barlow wet with fearNot quite sure what he`s doing thereOn your marks, get set, and they`re inTubby`s consumed by the urge to winFour are greased lightning, one is lardBut Tubby`s determined not to be left behindTen years of being pushed around flash before his eyesAlone in the schoolyard eating his prideIn third place as they reach the turnHis arms ache and his chest burnsKids are cheering from the balconyTubby`s oblivious, all he can seeIs that this is the moment to change his lifeBy collecting a trophy on the other sidePast Steven Clough and Kenny Grey"Mum, mum, I`m winning the race!"He opens his mouth and water floods inHe`s coughing, choking, panickingDown once, down twice, `till someone screams"Sir, Tubby Barlow`s drowning!"But Baz Wilson`s already inGot his intermediate in life savingThe captain of the football teamIdol of every young girl`s dreamDrags Tubby towards the ropeBut Tubby`s confused and grips his throatAs both boys begin to skin"Sir, Baz Wilson`s drowning!"Tubby opens his eyes for one last timeSees Baz flailing at his sideLike Jesus after the resurrectionSees himself as Baz`s salvationGrabs Baz, heads for the side"Chariots of Fire" playing in his mindMeanwhile Steven Clough gets first positionBut they`re all watching Tubby save Baz WilsonNow Tubby lays like a whale on the shoreGasping and spewing like a real heroLike a real hero!
