Half-way to Wembley
In the schoolyard
All seemed so friendly
From the schoolyard
Doesn’t look like you got too far
Sitting pissed in your local bar
Another fallen idol / Fallen idle
Every day you’d pick a different name
Now it always seems to stay the same
And I hope that you can take it
As you sit there and watch us make it
Schoolyard Star / Schoolyard Star
Another fallen idol / Fallen idle
Half-way to Wembley
In the schoolyard
All seemed so friendly
From the schoolyard
Doesn’t look like you got too far
Sitting pissed in your local bar
Schoolyard Star / Schoolyard Star
Another fallen idol / Fallen idle
Peter Scmeichel / Steve Bruce
Gary Pallister / Paul Parker
Denis Irwin / Roy Keane
Brian McClair / The Boy Giggs
Lee Sharpe / Eric Cantona
Mark Hughes / Paul Ince
Champions – Where is your name?
Champions – Where is your name?

If the Stars fell out of the sky
It would almost be as empty as I am
if the stars fell out of the sky
Cause I'm empty inside
And there's nowhere to hide when you're empty inside
I remember the house that we left behind
I remember the curtain blowing in the wind
Though we left no window open
I remember the journey
I remember the car
But there's some things you can't get away from
No matter how far you go
And I remember the nights
I'd wake up sweating with fright
Oh I remember the nights
I remember the hospital
I remember the white walls
The antiseptic smell and the nurses’ smiles
I remember your room
I remember the plastercast
& I remember the question
That I could not ask
I know they tried to be kind
Memories
A blurred photograph
Memories
Half forgotten smiles
Memories
The light in your eyes
Memories
That’s all that I have
Memories
