Viva la Punter.

by Achettup

I used to rule the world
Lee would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I weep alone
Sweep the balls that I used to own
I used to toss the coin
Not bother which way it came down
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Cmon Aussie! Aussies win!"

One minute I held back Lee
Next the press closed in on me
And I discovered that my maties stand
Upon rivers of fish and rivers of sand

I hear selector's phone bells are ringing
Green and Gold choirs are leaving
Be my spinner, my old fast bowler
My visionaries for an Ashes field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you know there was never
Never an honest word
Well that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild Sikh
Blew down the stumps or got me to knick
Shattered calm insulted our mums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutions oh so quick
As the ball darts down the pitch
Just a yoyo on a muppet's string
How ever did Singh become king?

I hear selector's door bells a ringing
Baggy green greats and their sons are leaving
Be my spinner, my old fast bowler
My vissionaries from an Ashes field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Kevin Pieter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear selector's door bells are ringing
Saffers taking our crown and off they're leaving
Be my winner, my Aussie supporter
My Fanatics when we're off to an Ashes field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Andrew Strauss won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
