Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He was ten years old with a head of steam
Spotted by a scout, asked to join the team
A step up that couldn't come too soon
As he walked inside to the changing room
[Verse 2]
On a frosty pitch, it was not a test
He could read the ball and outrun the rest
With a natural skill he could weave his way
To the six yard line again and again
When the coach came in, he was toweling off
With his hair still wet and his hands aloft
There was joy and pride on his pretty face
Havin' scored the goal that won the game
[Verse 3]
The coach sat him down in the corner
Said that, "One day you could play
(One day he'd play, one day he'd play, one day he'd play)
For Manchester United or Arsenal
But you gotta do whatever I say
(Do what I say, do what I say, do what I say)
[Verse 4]
He was thirty one when he faced his fears
Secret childhood days hurt him down the years
So he told his wife and she held him close
She said call someone, he picked up the phone
[Verse 5]
Now he's on the bench at a little town
And it's common knowledge around the ground
There is some support for what he went through
He was brave to say that he'd been abused
Behind lock and key on a special wing
The coach tries to sleep but they come for him
Voices in his head speakin' louder now
As he thinks of the boys in the shower
[Verse 6]
The coach sat him down in the corner
Said that, "One day you could play
(One day he'd play, one day he'd play, one day he'd play)
For Manchester United or Arsenal
But you gotta do what I say
(Do what I say, do what I say, do what I say)
