Twenty Years in the Rain

[intro]
[drums build, guitar chimes in]
Woooah — here we go

[verse 1]
Same old seat, third row of the terrace
My dad's old scarf around my neck
Forty grand singing through the rain again
Half time, one down, what did you expect?
My brother said "we should've left at half"
I told him mate, you're staying for this

[chorus]
Twenty years in the rain
Twenty years of nearly, nearly
Tonight the floodlights say our name
And the whole town's singing finally
Finally, finally
The whole town's singing finally

[verse 2]
Corner kick in the ninety-first
The keeper's stranded, ball hits the bar
Big Tommy Hall rises like a ghost
And I swear that ball came down from Mars
My phone's gone mad, my voice is gone
Strangers hugging strangers in the dark

[chorus]
Twenty years in the rain
Twenty years of nearly, nearly
Tonight the floodlights say our name
And the whole town's singing finally
Finally, finally
The whole town's singing finally

[bridge]
I'm crying like a fool on Grafton Street
My old man would've loved this one
Ninety minutes and a lifetime
We're not going home, we're not going home

[chorus]
Twenty years in the rain
Twenty years of nearly, nearly
Tonight the floodlights say our name
And the whole town's singing finally
Finally, finally
The whole town's singing finally

[outro]
La la la la, la la la la
We won the cup, we won the cup
I'm walking home in the pouring rain
And it's the best I've ever felt
Finally... finally... finally
