Fat Billy Shouts Mine

from Far Skies Deep Time (import version) by Big Big Train

lyrics

Billy died on a beach
when the sky was full of sun.
Jumpers for goalposts
and sand for grass
a crowd of none.
Billy crossed over too many lines,
but not this far over.

The girls are not the same here…

Billy spent all his time in the pubs
where he drank too much.
Billy liked being out on his own,
but not the only one.
Keeping goal always set him apart,
but not this apart.

The lanes are not so wide here…

Billy died on a beach
when the sky was full of sun.
Out of a clear blue sky,
an ending overlong.
Jumpers for goalposts
and sand for grass
a crowd of none.
