"..I'LL HAVE A LARGE ORDER OF PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE!"

A week or so before
it was that ****** geezer's birthday.

It was my Joan's too!
The Germans were celebrating.

We was too!
Me and her went to see Bette

in Dark Victory hear her drawl:
"What do you do there in between yawns? "

We was up for it
night before the Cup.

And yeah we was struggling
in the relegation zone and

the Wolves they was
flying high but

boys oh boys
we beat 'em so we did

only 4
****** 1.

Pete and John and
Cliff got two.

Tinn said we'd win
'cos he wear his lucky spats.

The only team to hold the Cup
for the longest time.

The War kinda intervened.
Never thought I'd be a soldier.

Old Tinn hid the Cup
( so he said )underneath his bed

but it was kept quiet
in Lovedean.

The Bird in the Bush
I often drank there.

Lost Joan
only last year

can still hear her say
in that Bette Davis way

her voice
all smoke

"Nothing can hurt us now.
What we have can't be destroyed.

That's our victory - our victory over the dark.
It is a victory because we're not afraid."
