Prefab Sprout - I Never Play Basketball Now lyrics

I'm not looking to disturb you
Just a little to unnerve you
I have no thing about games
And always looking back

After that last, unholy row
I never, ever play basketball now
It joins a list of things I'll miss
Like fencing foils and lovely
Girls I'll never kiss
Leave it behind on an overcrowded
Desk where the in tray's
Higher than the out ever will be
Before the tea rooms filled
With flirting couples call remember to call
And flow, it skips like a river, and it rolls
Flow, you'll swear it's a chapel
- isn't that so?

Think of all the things that grew here
Long before we moved here
All of it good and strong, and all of it gone

After that last unholy row
I never, ever play, basketball now
It joins a list of things
I'll miss like fencing foils
And lovely girls I'll never kiss
You may say I've got plenty
But no one knows how long things stay big
