13. Geoff Hurst's Goal Lyrics

Chumbawamba 13. Geoff Hurst's Goal

Come on admit it, it never crossed the line
Geoff Hurst's goal in extra time
In the Third World War at Wembley '66
When England won again, to make it a hat-trick
Twenty years later, a replay of another war
The Falklands, Spirit against the skill of Maradona
The Union Jack's drooped, the English were quiet
The Argies won, Maradona had a hand in it
The line between patriotic bigotry and loyal support
Is it going to war or the simple love of sport?
