The Boy Done Good Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Strange as it may seem, I once had my football dreams 

But I was always the last one, the last to get chosen 

When my classmates picked their teams 

I guess that was the way it stayed in every game I played 

Life just tripped me and clattered and kicked me 

Till you picked me from the parade 

Now I feel like I've won the cup every time that we 

Make love 

Forty-five minutes each way, at halftime I hear a brass 

Band play 

The boy done good, the girl done better 

The seasons turn and we're still together 

The sky is still blue and tomorrow is another day 

You weren't that kind of a girl who likes her studs to 

Be covered in mud 

Taking you to the pictures was a regular fixture 

For one of life's eternal subs 

I tried hard acting tough, but I just can't stand the 

Taste of that stuff 

Like some macho park player I got in the way of 

In some grudge match against his club 

But I'm happier how I am today now I've put my 

Boots away 

I guess I'll never get picked to play my song on match 

Of the day
