lyrics

Someone’s drawn a cock on the old man’s house
He sees it every time that he goes out
He tried to clean it off but it will need sanding
These kids are beyond his understanding
Kick a ball outside his door
They don’t use the park up the road anymore
He played Sunday league into his thirties
Now it seems that the don’t want to get their hands dirty

White hair
Should we blame it on the food we eat
White hair
Should we blame it on the Sunday league
White hair glimpsed through a window
Should we blame it on you or me or everybody

This lad drew a cock on someone’s house
He didn’t see what the fuss was about
He thought it’d make the others laugh
He’d forgotten about it by the time they reached the caff
It was after they’d had a kick around
While waiting for the girls to come down
They play on the street now instead of the park
Can’t go down there when its getting dark

White hair
Should we blame it on the Sunday league
White hair
Should we blame it on the food we eat
White hair glimpsed through a window
Should we blame it on you or me or everybody

Someone’s drawn a cock on her dad’s house
Its getting to him there is no doubt
She doesn’t go down there very much
Its hard for her to keep in touch
As a child she’d watch him play football in the park
Carry her home on his shoulders in the dark
Nowadays he rarely steps out doors
He’s not the same man anymore
He’s not the same man anymore
He’s not the same man anymore

White hair
Should we blame it on the food we eat
White hair
Should we blame it on the Sunday league
White hair glimpsed through a window
Should we blame it on you or me or everybody
