It Only Takes One Lion Lyrics by Belle and Sebastian
There are days that seem dark and long
When the job is getting you down
So you shut your eyes and you think back to the game
Big McSauce is banging his chest
Tierney brings us back from the dead
And the (last) McLean shot is hanging in the air
This Is Scotland
Where everybody knows you start with nothing
This is Scotland
Where you can join an army that’s for peace
We love football
Mount Florida is coming to Miami
We love football
We’ve got another samba with Brazil
Play for me, play for me, play for me, play for me
Play for me, play for me, play for me, play for me
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all, leave it all
In the goal, in the goal, in the goal, in the goal
You give us hope, you gave us despair
You make us shout, you make us dance and swear
And when I think of all the times we’ve been through
It only takes one lion to score
From Andrew W to Andy R
We played the game we loved we played it hard
And when the manager said shoot for the stars
It only takes one lion to roar
I remember the squad
And I don’t think it’s odd that I can see all their faces
And when I was young I thought I would be one
And we would play all those places
We would be in Mexico Mexico
We would be in Canada North Americano
You’ve got to score for all of us
You’ve got to play for me
Play for me, play for me, play for me, play for me
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all, leave it all
In the goal, in the goal, in the goal, in the goal
This Is Scotland
Where everybody knows you start with nothing
This is Scotland
Where you can join an army that’s for peace
We love football
Mount Florida is coming to Miami
We love football
We’ve got another samba with Brazil
This Is Scotland
Where everybody knows you start with nothing
This is Scotland
Where you can join an army that’s for peace
We got Brazil/ We love football
Mount Florida is coming to Miami
We love Haiti
We’re up against Morocco in the heat
