The Decemberists - The Sporting Life Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I fell on the playing field
  • the work of an errant heel
  • the din of the crowd and the loud commotion
  • went deafening silence and stopped emotion
  • the season was almost done
  • we managed it 12 to 1
  • so far I had known no humiliation
  • in front of my friends and close relations
  • There's my father looking on
  • and there's my girlfriend arm in arm
  • with the captain of the other team
  • and all of this is clear to me
  • they condescend and fix on me a frown
  • how they love the sporting life
  • And father had had such hopes
  • for a son who would take the ropes
  • and fulfill all his old athletic aspirations
  • but apparently now there's some complications
  • but while I am lying here
  • trying to fight the tears
  • I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger
  • though I think I might lie here a little longer
  • There's my coach he's looking down
  • the disappointment in his knitted brow
  • I should've known
  • he thinks again
  • I never should have put him in
  • he turns and loads the lemonade away
  • and breathes in deep
  • the sporting life
  • the sporting life
  • the sporting life
  • how he loves...
  • There's my father looking on
  • and there's my girlfriend arm in arm
  • with the captain of the other team
  • and all of this is clear to me
  • they condescend and fix on me a frown
  • how they love the sporting life
