News And Tributes Lyrics
Cut down in their prime,
In silence, on that day,
February 58, they got what they need,
From Belgrade and back home to sleep.
More than a name, to millions,
What could have been changed,
By all the boys leaving Munich on that day,
The snow came and sent them to sleep.
This, fall, was, greater than them all
News and tributes come leaking in
As all eyes turn to Rome,
I forgotten the sadness feel
Voices turn us towards.
Cut down in their prime,
In silence, on that day,
February 58, they got what they need,
From Belgrade and back home to sleep.
This, fall, was, greater than them all
News and tributes come leaking in
As all eyes turn to Rome,
I forgotten the sadness feel,
Voices turn us towards.
They're still singing despite the years
Sending them back into Rome,
There's a ringing in the ears,
That lasts them here to war.

Obviously this song is about the British Airways crash that happened February 6th, 1958 which killed 7 members of Manchester United's football (soccer) team.
If you remember the day as vividly as the members of Futureheads, and myself, you will recall watching the tele and seeing a newscaster come on once an hour to update viewers on the status of the soccer stars.
(none of this was actually obvious for me, and I had to look it up, the following is an article about the event)
