A Thirteen Goal Breakdown [Part 1 of My Soccer Trilogy]
Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro
Structure Scheme: Accent points align for all 3 verses
Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.
VERSE 1
In the year of 20-1-9,
On the green grass so Fran-cais.
The whole world watched,
As football fe-lines,
Changed how we view soccer to-day.
CHORUS
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Lift a glass and make a toast,
To the gals who scored the most.
They deserve a thirteen goal...
Breakdown.
VERSE 2
When they ran the friggin' score up,
Whiners called for a lynch mob.
The game they played,
Sug-gested one thing:
That scoring goals is a girls job.
CHORUS
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Lift a glass and make a toast,
To the gals who scored the most.
They deserve a thirteen goal...
Breakdown.
BRIDGE #1
Some say one shouldn't celebrate,
A single goal scored following 8,
And that doing so is a blunder.
Pushing forward defines "Risk-Reward",
Favor that play and never be bored,
Yeah, thirteen is a lucky number.
BRIDGE #2 - THE Instrumental Breakdown
VERSE 3
You won't care who suffers A loss.
When the of-fense earns it's keep.
A game that's much,
Like watchin' la-crosse.
Where defense and keepers come cheap.
CHORUS
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Lift a glass and make a toast,
To the gals who scored the most.
They deserve a thirteen goal...
Breakdown.
BRIDGE #3 - Obviously Very Optional
Now, don't get me wrong,
Sure, my love is strong,
For the awesome play of the men.
In that, I cannot be alone,
But when offered testosterone.
I reply: "Thanks, no. I brought my own...
Estrogen."
CHORUS
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Breakdown! Breakdown!
Lift a glass and make a toast,
To the gals who scored the most.
They deserve a thirteen goal...
Breakdown.
The End
