lyrics

It's too late for postponement
No time to hone my moves
If I could sit this game out
My technique will improve

But the gaffer picks the team
Yeah I know he picks the team
Though I'm sure there's been a slip twixt page and ink
I don't think I'm up to this - oh

Leave me on the subs bench
Choose someone else to play
My grace and poise, my heart and legs
My eye for goal all gone away
You surely must know just how much this team means to me
Oh but I'll let you down
Oh leave me on the bench today

The first-team lads can take this
Just bring me on at the death
My lucky socks are in the wash
My skills have upped and left

So the crowd will curse my name
Yeah I know I'll get the blame
Think carefully before you bring me on
I'll just do something wrong - oh

Leave me on the subs bench
Choose someone else to play
My grace and poise, my heart and legs
My eye for goal all gone away
You surely must know just how much this team means to me
Oh but I'll let you down
Oh leave me on the bench today

But the gaffer picks the team
Yeah I know he picks the team
I wouldn't dream to pick the team
No no when the gaffer picks the team
And I'm not sure what he's seen
in me when the gaffer picks the team

Though I'm sure there's been a slip twixt page and ink
And though I hear it from your lips
I don't think I'm up to this

I'm fine here on the subs bench
Don't go and spoil my day
Oh but I see the striker's coming off
And my number's up, it's on display
I wish I had an injury
A ninety minute stitch
Oh but the hand's upon my shoulder now
I'm on the pitch
