The time is too short but never too long,
to reach ahead,
to project the image,
which will in time become a concrete dream,
another cigarette,
another day,
from A to B,
again avoiding C, D, and E,
'cos E is where you play the blues,
avoiding a death,
is to win the game to avoid relegations,
the big E.
Drowning in the big swim,
rising to the surface,
the smell of you,
that's the lowdown.

It's about living in the middle, getting caught in the maw of the day-to-day. You try to set big goals but get caught up in trying to stay where you are (avoiding death, avoiding relegation, a soccer term meaning you don't get dropped down to a lower league for playing so poorly). The only thing I'm not sure about is the "smell of you" line.
