    ......thats coz footballs are round, have been for over 150 years....you cant even think of an original name for your sport......football is a global sport, unlike that shite that you lot follow.

    This song used to be very confusing to me because I'm an American and the world is not shaped like an American football.

    ........"and all the world is football shaped, its just for me to kick his face"......cracking lyrics relating to football violence in the late '70s/early 80s. those were the days.

    One of my favorite XTC songs, back when they were kind of sardonic.

    And all the world is football-shaped It's just for me to kick in space And I can see hear smell touch taste And I've got one two three four five Senses working overtime Trying to take this all in I've got one two three four five Senses working overtime Trying to taste the difference 'Tween a lemon and a lime Pain and pleasure And the church bells softly chime...
