English Sporting Defeat Lyrics

Good show old boy but the game it’s over
I know dear boy oh it’s faded all away

Good times they come and they go
Oh so show the door to the ghosts

Heyayayeah,
English sporting defeat,
All your life.

Go home dear boy cause the party’s over
Say goodnight and wave the guests away

Good times they come and they go
Oh so show the door to the ghosts

Heyayayeah,
English sporting
Defeat
All your
Life
All of your hopes and your cares
Heyayayeah,
English sporting
Defeat

You’ll try it again
Next week,
You’ll try it again
Next year,
You’ll try it again
All your life.

Heyayayeah,
English sporting
Defeat
All your
Life
All of your hopes and your cares
Heyayayeah,
English Sporting Defeat

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
