LYRICS:
It's more than goals
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
It's more than goals
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
Way back in 1863
We decided to agree
Rules of play,
The FA
And as all the years went by
Even more rules applied
Like how I was offside
And I was goalie!
Teams got fancy shirts
Different for the keepers
Play on grass or dirt
Rules to stop the cheaters
So many blokes, so many jeers
Before so many years
Women's teams
Got the cheers
'Cos when they saw us
Passing the ball, scoring 43 goals
Boy, could we play football
Until they banned us!
I was thinking hard
About rules while stuck in traffic
Red and yellow cards
Made reffing more dramatic
In 1971
FA's rules were withdrawn
Meant that we could play on
The women's game reborn!
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
It's more than goals...
Wherever you roam
Whoever you cheer for
Football feels like home
(Not sure what I'm here for)
Playground or World Cup
When your team is winning
There's no better buzz
Than when your fans are singing
