Paroles de Life After Football

I couldn't see a thing but I could hear
Destruction in the dark
Corrugated iron and Timber rip and wrench my roof apart
As each tree fell it felt like the Earth was trying to catch its breath
Tunnels of wind went through the hills and kicked the forest half to death
Ooooooooo

Everything was already falling it’s just falling faster now
The power lines frantic in the wind like cut snakes in the wind that brought them down
My shady lane was torn to shreds a mess of dirty brown and green
I threw my bag over my head and headed where I said I’d try to be
Once in a lifetime you get days like these, there’s sure been a lot of once in a lifetimes lately

You rescued me on the main road up near the footy ground now I’m masked up and sanitised in a hotel in my home town
The army established a post on Ballan-Dayelsford road
It was a couple days of hope til' I knew if I still had a home
My hide out deep among the trees it had nearly flattened me
I still hear the wind whip through the clearing when I’m trying to fall asleep
The last few weeks the world felt fast what I’m learning to understand
If you tread water for so long you feel unstable on land

Once in a lifetime you get days like these, there’s sure been a lot of Once in a lifetimes lately
Once in a lifetime you get days like these, there’s sure been a lot of Once in a lifetimes lately

Nobody thinks about life after football, everyone swears they live in the future You told us we were invincible
You showed us you didn't care
Nobody thinks about life after football

You told us we were invincible
You showed us you didn't care
Nobody thinks about life after football

(You told us we were invincible) nobody thinks about life after football
(You showed us you didn't care) everyone swears they live in the future)
(You told us you were invincible) I didn't know we were moving the goalposts much less tearing them down forever
Forever
