m.j. hibbett - the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b) lyrics

Loading...

the wide game was a game that we used to play in scouts
we’d go to the park after dark and, basically, run about
there was a local compet-tion that took place every year
we needed a team that could win, or at least come somewhere near
so the football heroes, and the popular kids – the boys who got the girls
carried the hopes of all the troop, but there were two teams because

there was a bed-wetter, a backwards kid, a big fat lad and me
in the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b)

skip took us all to one side and said “scouts do your best
team a, i want you to go for the cup, team b try and not get in a mess”
the macho lads were confident, set off with fire and noise
got into fights all that night and failed to score a point
but while we might have disappointed lord baden-powell
we did surprisingly well

for a bed-wetter, a backwards kid, a big fat lad and me
we were the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b)

and when we got back
to the safety of the pack
they were surprised to see we had
secreted in our bag
a trophy engraved with “in second place”
and then the following list of names

there was a bed-wetter, a backwards kid, a big fat lad and me
it said “the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b)”

and if you’re thinking this must be some kind of metaphor
for a way of life, well you might be right, and i’ll tell you something more
since that day, i’ve realised you can be a star
no matter what your lot in life, even if you are

a bed-wetter, a backwards kid, or a big fat lad like me
you can join the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b)
come join the peterborough all-saints wide game team (group b)
