go on and cringe

how can i train to be so strong
how can i get two dancing feet
sometimes training just seems so long
yet how can misery feel so sweet?
sometimes i really want to weep
and really don't know what to do
only that we should stand quite deep
oh why did I fall in love with you?

this is the closest thing to crazy i have ever been
tackling heavy props, acting really mean
this is the nearest thing to crazy i have ever known
i was never crazy on my own:
and now i know that there's a link between the two
being close to craziness and playing rugby too

sometimes a switch just falls apart
and you might get mud in your eyes
it's not so easy to kick the start
it's not easy to catch the highs (hmm, reference to high balls?)
some players are just more agile
and others just don't have a clue
on the field some get really wild
one or two just keep breaking through

this is the closest thing to crazy i have ever been
match day twenty-two, starting fifteen
this is the nearest thing to crazy i have ever known
i was never crazy on my own:
And now i know that there's a link between the two
being close to craziness and playing rugby too

and playing rugby too
and playing rugby too
