I Love You More Than Football

I've been a postman, a salesman, I spent two months in prison
For non-payment of taxes, I was never forgiven
I wanna make an honest living and do right by myself
I gotta make things right for my unhappy wife

And I know every trick in this God foresaken book
And I have to confess
That I've made a lousy husband
And the only way that I can say sorry is
I can't believe what I'm saying
But don't you know I love you more than football

I promised the kids a day at the beach
They were all dressed and ready with their buckets and spades
But I was flat on my back in some piss-stained alley
Covered in puke feeling sorry for myself

And I know every trick in this God foresaken book
And I have to confess
That I've made a lousy husband
And the only way that I can say sorry is
I can't believe what I'm saying
But don't you know I love you more than football

And I know every trick in this God foresaken book
And I have to confess
That I've made a lousy husband
And the only way that I can say sorry is
I love you more than football
Don't you know I love you more than football
