- Shot at Craven Cottage, we gathered our nieces and nephews together, gave them Fulham shirts and got them to run around for a couple of hours. Our son Jack was there too, the littlest of the lot.

Lyrics:
Strange as it may seem, I once had my football dreams
But I was always the last one, the last to get chosen
When my classmates picked their teams
I guess that was the way it stayed in every game I played
Life just tripped me and clattered and kicked me
Till you picked me from the parade
Now I feel like I've won the cup every time that we make love
Forty-five minutes each way, at halftime I hear a brass band play
The boy done good, the girl done better
The seasons turn and we're still together
The sky is still blue and tomorrow is another day
You weren't that kind of a girl who likes her studs to be covered in mud
Taking you to the pictures was a regular fixture for one of life's eternal subs
I tried hard acting tough, but I just can't stand the taste of that stuff
Like some macho park player I got in the way of
In some grudge match against his club
But I'm happier how I am today now I've put my boots away
I guess I'll never get picked to play my song on match of the day

Such a good song!
Viva billy bragg❤
Happy GMB days. Seems like a lifetime away now. Lovely shots of the cottage and a great song.
Always a favorite. I immediately saw myself in that image: "one of life's eternal subs" and I rather liked knowing I wasn't the only one!
lol i always thought it was... one of life's eternal sods 🙃
Another one I didn't even know had a video.
One of my favourite of the love songs. Especially for the "screw everyone's expectations and find your happiness" messaging.
Same!
I've always loved this song so. Wonderful to see a video. Thanks Billy!
That's the best football ground in the country for sure
Fantastic! 2 of my favourite things together. Billy and FFC! Thanks so much for uploading. Has made my week!!
Such a great song. Lifts you up, when you're feeling down!
What fun! Man you carried that metaphor to the goal and back! Well done.
Great stuff Billy
I went to see you in Oxford a few weeks ago. My fourth time seeing you, but the first time in 16 years. You haven't lost a thing, Billy. Awesome as ever. Oh, and the new album is fantastic. I love it.

What a sweet video. Reminds me of my kids. Cheers, Billy!!! ❤
Love this one
Now i got a catchy tune, thanks Mr. Bragg, ach so greetings from Germany
I love you my overseas brother. Ukraine 🇺🇦 needs your voice NOW!
Love this song Billy..never guessed there was a video.
Love it, and what a B-side 'Sulk' was that written after the honeymoon period of this song Billy?
Man tony Hawk gotta hell of a voice! Lol, great song Brag!
💞
Every lyric is either a last-minute winner, a perfect 1-2 around a static defender or a genius Cruyff turn. Get in!
Life and love are like a game of football...except in life you don’t get a second chance
Did they ever play this on Match of the Day after the Lionesses won?
Craven Cottage i suppose
Of course! One of the few proper Football Grounds left (i.e. not a Stadium)
Guess you never mentioned West Ham before this was arranged?
I love it. But i`m not a fan of the Hammers
