So who's that club there? I wonder what went wrong So that they had to plummet down the leagues Used to not do major credit cards For transfers don't do receipts It's all not quite legitimate And what a baldy man Just give him half a chance He'll relegate you if he can Can see it in his eyes, yeah That he's not a stupit man But you should see his defences And I've seen him with Ben on the right And he told Souttar not to mark anyone tight They're fucking garbage but he'll be alright Cause he's not stupit, don't you know I said he's not stupid, don't you know! Although you're trying not to listen Avert your eyes and staring at the ground Hovering above 21st position I'm sorry Stoke we'll have to all go down Heard John must be up to something Want half a chance to show he's more than likely I've got a feeling in my stomach I start to wonder what his story might be What his story might be They said it changes when the Stoke goes down And they said it changes when the Stoke goes down And they said it changes when the Stoke goes down Around here Around here
