Half Man Half Biscuit - "All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Ki" lyrics
*** Complimentary All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Ki Ringtone ***
There was one in the gang
and because of that
who had scalectrix
he thought he was better than you
every day after school
youd go around there to play him
And it always took about 15 billion hours to set the track up
hoping to compete for some kind championship
And even when you did, the thing never seemed to work
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, that cost 3 pound 10.
So he sent his doting mother
up the stairs with the stepladder
to get the Subbuteo
out of the loft
required for that big-match atmosphere
it had all the accessories
the crowd and the dugout
the floodlights too
with a headless center-forward
and you'd always get palmed off
and a goal-keeper with no arms
and because of that
who had scalectrix
he thought he was better than you
every day after school
youd go around there to play him
And it always took about 15 billion hours to set the track up
hoping to compete for some kind championship
And even when you did, the thing never seemed to work
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, that cost 3 pound 10.
So he sent his doting mother
up the stairs with the stepladder
to get the Subbuteo
out of the loft
required for that big-match atmosphere
it had all the accessories
the crowd and the dugout
the floodlights too
with a headless center-forward
and you'd always get palmed off
and a goal-keeper with no arms
and a face like his
and he'd managed to get hold of
a Dukla-Prague Away Kit
and he'd kept it to one side
'cause his uncle owned a sport shop
and after only five minutes
for taking the base from under his left-winger
you'd be down to ten men
as hed sent off your right back
each and every goal, a hotly disputed penalty
come to half-time, you were losing, four-nil
and the game was abandoned
so you smash up the floodlights
and you'd be banned from his house
and the dog would bark
and your travelling army
of synthetic supporters
would be taken away from you
and thrown in the bin.
and now he's working
in a job with a future
he hands me my Giro
every two weeks.
and me, I'm on the lookout
for a proper transformer
and he'd managed to get hold of
