Chumbawamba - Heysel Stadium lyrics

rate me

Heysel stadium, it's easy to remember

How the game continued despite the disaster

"With all those millions of viewers, we've got to carry on

It would be financial suicide to stop at this point."

And there's a ready-made scapegoat, ready to blame

Hooligans fighting, ruining the game

Ignoring the bad planning and cramming-in of fans

Right next to each other in crumbling stands

Putting money before safety caused those deaths

Whilst greedy bosses in their boxes shout and turn red

"Get those bodies back the full ten yards!

They're covering up the advertising boards!"
