The Incompatibility Of Sport & Cosmic Consciousness Lyrics

Chumbawamba The Incompatibility Of Sport & Cosmic Consciousness

When I play cricket
I'm the longest at the wicket
I can jump and swim
And I live in the gym
But I can't come to terms
With my existence as part of the universe
I gaze at the sky
I think how? when? and why?
I go to the lavatory
In tune with astrology
Well I get really confused
With the complicated scoring system
Used in tennis
I get around in canoes
Racing cars, balloons
I drink squash, eat polo
Mints, climb mountains solo
But I can't get my head
'round that salvador dali
Weirdo stuff
I really feel fine
With the planets in line
I see the future in hands
And I live off the land
But I can't see frank bruno
Asking me which star sign
I think he is
Whether you are physically
Or mentally inclined
Imagine what the fun could be
If both could be combined
I know I'm speaking as a weakling
With a cosmic kind of mind
But I can feel in sport emotions
Of a unifying kind
So do whatever you like to do
And whether you win or not
Make sure the game was fairly played
And try to smile a lot
Because whatever you do should be good for you
Make the most of what you've got
'cause whatever you do should be good for you
Make the most of what you've got
