...And it isn't the hype or the spin
It isn't the things that wums say or do
Make me want it so
It could be the stars that align
And a team which is now in it's prime
But never before have I been so sure
That we really might make it this time
It's the way it makes me feel
The fact we might just see it through
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping we won't fall apart
I can't believe this is really happening to us
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them we're still there
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but we're still there
We were strugglers a season ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
Nigel P still in place
With a scowl on his face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
But the way it makes me feel
The fact we might just see it through
And it all seems so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
But tomorrow we will still be there
And others will need to prepare
For what is happening to us
Is not just a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them we're still there
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but we're still there
The oldies will know the tune.
Profuse apologies to Dusty Springfield and to Clive Westlake who wrote the original.
It's weird the things one's mind gets up to, to blank out the pain of cycling hard...
It isn't the way that we win...

Yes I remember it all right. Perhaps you should scribe a few verses of another of Dusty's hits (in league with the Pet Shop Boys) and dedicate it to the wums
What have I (we) done to deserve this

I look at the league
My eyes must deceive,
For we,re at the top
And not for the drop.
Lets hold our breath now
Till the lads take their bow.
Then I wont give a sh:t
What the wums put to print.
