Pick apart a piece of pure passion paint a picture with it
chest out,flip my collar up,im about to rip it
seven red targets on the back of a maverick
im having it,mix of savage arrogance and gallusness
stage is set,block out the cheers and the screams
honour in leading my team,walk on the theatre of dreams
poetry im motion,rebuild an empire
tell the choir that the king is here to reign hell fire
with grace and elegance,facing the elements
play on my petulance,display my inventiveness
in the centre of chaos with a conductor baton
even if my temper is way off,ill make something happen
with a stroke of genius at the flick of a switch
written the script,the very minute im hitting the pitch
my veins stay frozen,games closing,fever sweat soaking
either set my rage roaming or im BEETHOVEN
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells and travel far
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells,ring bells
Pick apart a piece of pure passion,im a loose cannon
there's a noose hanging,new abuse for a true champion
i switch from the threat of static to the enigmatic
head is erratic,eric le problematic
i love the anarchy,impossible to manage me
a masterclass of artistry,my country tried to banish me
and label me the bad guy,i never asked why
hands fly,me?,ill give a passer by a black eye
whats your cheek worth?,youll get your teeth burst
must you speak dirt?,ill leap in the crowd feet first
i wear my heart on my sleeve to keep my chest SHARP
you wanna test that theory?,throw the next dart
ill come back in eight months to berate cunts
weight dumped off my shoulder,im the great one
pull your liver,grab the game by the scruff off the neck
a suffering wreck,im a sucker for love and respect
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells and travel far
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells,ring bells
Pick apart a piece of pure passion for a pound of flesh
people in power,they want me out with an astounding yes
ill leave kicking and screaming within a red mist
seagulls follow the trawler looking for dead fish
trash the establishment,i make a mockery
hatred got to me,youll celebrate when i get washed away
i breath parrafin,no comparison,im balancing
between the lines of an embarrasment or talisman
but ill be cherished for years in peoples hearts and minds
party time,exit for the villain of the pantomime
get your head straight,i dont carry dead weight
my team full of winners,living legacy levitates
on one hand i think nothings a concern to me
on the other let my legend echo through eternity
savour the name im staking my claim
ill hit my peak,hang up my boots and walk away from the game
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells and travel far
I am Eric Cantona
1st i raise it,then I smash the bar
In this galaxy im just a passing star
I let my name ring bells,ring bells

Hit the bar with my best pals,guzzle lager,scud venoms slam drams,spit gutter banter
im a chancer she knows what the fuck im after,to snatch her away from the knuckle dragger
for a while ive been growling at this blouse,STONE ISLAND fuck boy,brick shit house
sniffed out,tripping balls im a flip bounce,grip unannounced and leave him with a split mouth
yea right wishful thinking,dutch courage from this piss ive been drinking
pink gin,let it sink in to my thick skin,body armour if i get kicked in
all my mates are like "dont fuck with him",ill get a second prize,no ive come to win
chin up,throw down i duck and swing,chances slim,jump up and stick the nut on him
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
HEY HEY,AM I ONE TO BE MESSED WITH?
HEY HEY,DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?

WHAT WHAT,NO HOPE FOR THE HELPLESS
MOVE MOVE,WHO YOU SIT ON THE FENCE WITH
MOVE MOVE,THE BULSHIT'S DEFENSELESS
YOU CHOOSE,TRUST ME I MEANT THIS
YOU GET A GLESGA,THE BIRD GETS A FRENCH KISS
Hit the bar with my better half,end of a week of bullshit,blood sweat and graft
all i wanna do is get smashed,get a laugh,but you wanna set it aff,like you've never met the wrath
who's this prick mean muggin?,with his gimps in the corner,they've been buggin
do you wanna go ahead,lemme see something,ill slap you and your pal and his wee cousin
ye right i thought so,hostile think your a don when the shots flow
not so brave now,no you look lost go,fuck off out my face before i go tonto
the wife tried to hold me back,i hardly notice that strobelight go to black
its me leaving scars,full blown attack,its me seeing stars as my nose is cracked
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
HEY HEY,AM I ONE TO BE MESSED WITH?
HEY HEY,DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?

WHAT WHAT,NO HOPE FOR THE HELPLESS
MOVE MOVE,WHO YOU SIT ON THE FENCE WITH
MOVE MOVE,THE BULSHIT'S DEFENSELESS

Hit the bar another shift in this fucking dive,eight hours on the door the 1st of five
any cowards on the floor get fucking wide,know,i aint in the mood just duck and hide
straight away a mexican stand off,great i want heads i can bounce my hands off
two numbskulls that my fists can crack off,ill grab the bird and you guys can back off
yea right im slick as fuck,anything kicks off in here i need to split it up
i get punched in the stomach and hit the dirt,lifting skirts,in the middle im a sitting duck
i cant hold a grudge,handbags at ten paces with tools and fuds
im the last man standing,who's the stud?,boost with the bird,leave you in a pool of blood
lets go
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
Another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,another night in the trenches,well,lets go
HEY HEY,AM I ONE TO BE MESSED WITH?
HEY HEY,DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?

No love there,no love lost,so you step in the ring with the gloves off
No love there,no love lost,so you step in the ring with the gloves off
She's a sweetheart,looking for love but it flew by,every other week you lie with a new guy
in a depressing quest for affection,head in a mess undress for attention
giving up the goods,getting nude till,looks could kill,truth spills on the rumour mill
thats she's easy pray,an easy lay,sleaze will play on a guys mind to seize the day
her heart's been bruised and refused,if you're in her shoes you've be used and abused
plain simple no way to dress it up,pictured her life with a prince then messed it up
when you fight for it,i guess love wins,cringe at your life in horror doing dumb things
time heals,its not as bad as it seems,banish your screams youll get the man of your dreams
See Through me,transparency supercedes
a story told,all i need
i never needed no-one before
but now i feel just as forced
surviving,damage was following
time you were borrowing
pay it forward,act with honour
she's the life and soul of the party,bringing mad joy,loudmouth thinks she can tame the badboy
pure stunner,mind was pure gutter,knew a ton of guys that would line up to touch her
choose a maniac,loser taking smack,true your face is cracked,future fades to black
in and out the cells,live in clouds of hell,out for a spell,she's bringing out the bells
he's triggered why?,do you live a lie?,severed ties,and gave you with a disfiguired eye
broken heart and soul crushing trust of men,forces dark,nose bust,adjust again
he came to slaughter with a brain disorder,pain,torture,there's a restraining order
time heals,new pastures and dawns,leave him in the past where that madman belongs
See Through me,transparency supercedes
a story told,all i need
i never needed no-one before
but now i feel just as forced
surviving,damage was following
time you were borrowing
pay it forward,act with honour
she was lovesick,seeking a knight in shining armour,knows what she's after,go find a charmer
crack the whip,bump your gums,suffering comes,love struck dumb,duck and run from under her thumbs
gas lighting doesnt happen by chance,you got friends?,that all ends,just cancel your plans
this pitbull,sits on a pedestal,level to get kicked in the teeth you desperate fool
she runs you down,you're nothing now,like mother like daughter,her mums a clown
dad's a walkover,throat gets stomped over,talks over,looking for a mouth to put a sock over
ended up flipping her lid,tripped and she slip into the arms of an idiot hitting her kids
time heals,the nights black,you might crack,what you put in the universe it bites back
See Through me,transparency supercedes
a story told,all i need
i never needed no-one before
but now i feel just as forced
surviving,damage was following
time you were borrowing
pay it forward,act with honour
