Sorted for Decent Kids

After publicaly criticising the Reds in Pulp's new song The Trees, Jarvis Cocker has decided to continue his Nottingham Forest theme with a new version of the classic Sorted for E's and Wizz exclusively for LTLF.

Sorted for Decent Kids

Oh is this the way they say the future’s meant to feel?
Or just a bunch of kids running round a field?
But Harty’s here now and he’s doing the biz
And that’s okay ‘cos we’re all sorted out for decent kids

And tell me when we score a goal
‘cos we're bound to score one soon,
Ohhh

In the middle of the game,
It’s all the same
But then tomorrow morning
Oh then you come down.

Oh yeah the Century radio told us what was going down
Got the tickets from some dodgy bloke outside the ground
Oh and no-one seems to know what our first team is
But that’s okay ‘cos we’re all sorted out for decent kids.

At 3 O’clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away.
Alright!

In the middle of the game,
It’s all the same
But then tomorrow morning
Oh then you come down.

Just keep the ball moving...

Everybody knows our name,
They all think that we’re still the same and it’s all “Nice one, Forest”
But that’s as far as the conversation goes.

I lost my friends
I sit alone
But it’s 5 O’Clock, I don’t wanna go home

But it’s “No way”, “not today”
Makes you wonder what it all means

And this strange feeling grows and grows and grows and grows,
And you want to call your misses and say “Misses,
I can’t come home ‘cos I seem to have spent all my money
Somewhere, somewhere in a pub in Nottingham”

In the middle of the game,
It’s all the same
But then tomorrow morning
Oh then you come down.

Oh, then you come down.
What if we go down?
