lirik lagu decemberists – the sporting life
i fell on the playing field
the work of an arrant heel
the din of the crowd and the loud commotion
went deafening silent and stoped the motion
the season was almost done
we managed it twelve to one
so far i had known no humiliation
in front of my friends and close relation
there’s my father looking on
and there’s my girlfriend arm in arm
with the captain of the other team
and all of this is clear to me
they condescend and fix on me a frown
how they love the sporting life
and father had had such hopes
for a son who would take the ropes
and fulfill all his old athletic asperations
but aparently now there’s some complications
but while i am lying here,
trying to fight the tears
i’ll prove to the crowd that i come out stronger
though i think i might lie here a little longer
’cause there’s my coach, he’s looking down
the disappointment in his knitted brow
“i should’ve known,” he thinks again
“i never should have put him in”
he turns and loads the lemonade away
and breathes in deep
the sporting life
the sporting life
the sporting life
how he loves…
there’s my father looking on
and there’s my girlfriend arm in arm
with the captain of the other team
and all of this is clear to me
they condescend and fix on me a frown
how they love
ohh. the sporting life
the sporting life
the sporting life
how they love…
