a spaceship parked in the centre of a city
architectural majesty
a cathedral to sport
a collasium to rugby
pay homage to the venue
they assemble and they worship
sing along with their anthem
they pray for their country
united in faith
pay homage to the team
lager is quaffed
dripping from trays
four pints at a time
packets of crisps to help soak it up
pay homage to the alcohol
with wolly 'sheep hats'
in a shirts of their team
'daffodil headgear'
this passion wears red
pay homage to the outfits
rejoice! sing disciples
fanatical congregations
in pulpit like rows
generations at the altar
pay homage to the church
an allegiance
a devotion
adulation to spare
fidelity and the people
...you just had to be there!
