She's Gonna Let You Down

PLEASE NO IGNORANT AMERICAN COMMENTS, THANK YOU. JUST THINK OF CRICKET AS ONE OF THOSE GREAT MYSTERIES OF LIFE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER UNDERSTAND. :-}

A song I wrote during Englands stunning destruction of those smug Aussies bastards in the 2005 Ashes test tour. I was inspired to record it now due to some patronising and unsportsmanlike remarks by a certain youtuber Aussie. lol

DUST TO DUST
It was the Ashes test 2005 and the Aussies were in town,
Sounding off in the broadsheets how England were going down,
But Vaughn and his posse had a little surprise in store,
They ain't gonna put up with that Aussie shit no more.
Well the first test was at Lords and England really lost the plot,
We'll say no more about that and at Edgbaston we stopped the rot,
It was the greatest test cricket match that anyone had ever seen,
And the whole of the country lauds our glorious team.

Well, hats off to Freddy, 'cause he's our man,
He can do it if anybody can
With bat and with ball it's a dream to watch him play
As those smug Aussies bastards are sent on their way

The crowd goes crazy as Flintoff takes the ball,
Down at the pavilion end the wickets start to fall
Up in the commentary box Boycott's in disarray
"Thou knows, we never played cricket like that in my day"
Then it's on to Old Trafford, with England on a high,
But the rain and the Aussie tail enders they just make you want to cry,
The series is still level with all to play for,
We won't get the ashes back if it's a draw

Well, hats off to Freddy, he's our man,
He can do it if anybody can
With bat and with ball it's a dream to watch him play
As those smug Aussies bastards are sent on their way

Down to Trent Bridge where the Aussies follow on,
The myth of invincibility is now long gone
The writing's on the wall and when the Aussies get to bat
The score card reads, PONTING : PRATT
England have the game won, it's a done deal
We've got a day or more so, let's keep it real
But every English player wants to see his name in lights
My god it went down to the line again it was so tight.

Hats off to Freddy, he's our man,
He can do it if anybody can
With bat and with ball it's a dream to watch him play
As those smug Aussies bastards are sent on their way

The Oval was the place to be, the hottest ticket in town
Every single Englishman wants to be at the ground
We didn't need the rain, we didn't need to win the toss,
We'd already shown the Aussies who's the boss,
But god is an Englishman we got bad light and rain,
A draw is on the cards despite McGrath and Shane
At last the ashes are on their way home,
Don't ever let the Aussies forget they were only on loan

Well, hat off to Vaughn and the whole of his team
With their skill and ternacity they fulfilled our dream
Now that the Ashes are back where they belong
And those not so smug Aussie bastards are long gone
Hats off to Freddy, He's our man
Hats off to Freddy, can he do it? Of course he can
Hats off to Freddy, he's the one
When he's taking wickets or scoring runs
Hats off to Freddy, He's our man
Hats off to Freddy, can he do it? Of course he bloody can
Hats off to Freddy, he inspires our team
Andrew Flintoff you're England's wettest dream
"Ahh nice ball Shane".

And yes I know we're shite again but that was a great summer
