The whole song recalls a football match in which the main character seems to be a referee, who’s not so well-liked by the fans (also by Dara himself, maybe?).
The drums also remind the rythm of the chants sung by the ultras during football matches.
Catastrophically dog-eared
Animals don’t wear underwear
Could be twins, could be doubles
Doppelganger is an odd God
Total cod father with a lanyard
Dander ball with a laggard
Keepy-uppys, salted bargain wall
Slacks and flippers final nail clippers
Hoovering lisping wasps
Jaap Staam-ering thoughts
Arse fell out arseways
Say it again
Lisping wasps
Jaap Staam-ering thoughts
Arse fell out arseways
Ate all the gomp then
Leg of fish left
Ate all the gomp then
Leg of fish left
Sniffs and cough-webs
Giant massive parasol
In a cage with a window
Mister fish in a Tye-Dye t-shirt
Leather jocks
Even socks
Diet football
Sporting a Zidane
Nesting sea monk
Lord Muck de-throned
Sent to the gallows
Of the guillot-eenager
Giant massive parasol
In a cage with a window
Mister fish in a Tye-Dye t-shirt
Leather jocks
Even socks
Diet football
Sporting a Zidane
Nesting sea monk
Lord Muck de-throned
Sent to the gallows
Of the guillot-eenager
What a total, what a total, what a total
What a total, what a total, what a total
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
WHAT A TOTAL COD!
