Chumbawamba – 1. Good Afternoon And Welcome To White Hart Lane lyrics

After wading through the flooded toilets
To stand on the crumbling concrete steps
Wind and rain beating in your face
You mumble football's favorite phrase
"That's what the game's all about"
"That's what the game's all about"
But behind double-glazing, high above
The TV on, the starter served
A second-rate match but a four-course meal
With tax-free perks and a business deal
"That's what the game's all about"
"That's what the game's all about"
Executive boxes for the rich
Sterilized, sanitized, neatly packaged
Take no notice of what happens on the pitch
'Cause big business is the man of the match
"Turn the crowd noise down, it's the switch to the right"
It's all to do with business deals
And ripping off the masses and Holsten Pils
And down on the terraces you're piss-wet through
The line is drawn between rich and poor
"That's what this game's all about"
"That's what this game's all about"
