Seems unfair for this ditty to only exist on the MF.
Performed by Bad AIDS
(Paul Young)
It's Deadline day
There's no need to be afraid
on Deadline day
We let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around Everton
On Deadline day
(George Michael)
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
On Deadline day it's hard
(Simon LeBon)
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your (transfer) window
(George Michael) And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is
(Bono joins in)
The bitters' stinging tears
And the luvvy Bill is singing
And clanging chimes of doom
(Bono only) Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you.
(Everyone)
And there won't be signings in Everton this Deadline Day.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nobody is ever bought
Or even bloody loaned
Do they know it's Deadline Day at all?
Laugh at the bitters
Let them know it's Deadline Day
Laugh at the bitters
Do they know it's Deadline Day at all?
(Paul Young)
Here's to you
raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
living in bloody Woodison
Do they know it's Deadline Day at all?
Chorus (Everyone)
Laugh at the bitters
Laugh at the bitters
Laugh at the bitters
Let them know it's Deadline Day again
Laugh at the bitters
Let them know it's Deadline Day again
Laugh at the bitters
Let them know it's Deadline Day again
