Lyrics
Sparta 2# (US album version)
Everybody sing
(Hey!)
We are Sparta F.C.
Come on I will tell you how it will change
When I give you something to slaughter
There is a jackknife going up the hill
Where it is going I don't tell
But by hook or by crook I will
I'll get it back
(Shepherd boy)
(Hey!)
Everybody sing
(Hey!)
Be my be my toy
[chanting]
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
[Eleni's Greek vocals]
Take your fleecy jumper, you won't need it any more
It is in the car boot moving away
Cos where you are going clothes won't help
Shepherd Boy
(Hey!)
Everybody sing
(Hey!)
Be my be my toy
[chanting]
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
(You have to pay for everything, but some things are for free)
(We live on blood, we are Sparta F.C.)
(English Chelsea fan, this is your last game)
(We're not Galatasaray, we're Sparta F.C.)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Come on I will tell you how it will change
You mug old women in the paper-shop
In your English bobble hat
Stay at home
Shepherd boy
(Hey!)
Everybody sing
(Hey!)
Be my be my toy
[chanting]
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
[Eleni's Greek vocals]
Come on I will tell you how it will change
When I give you something to slaughter
Shepherd boy
(Hey!)
Everybody sing
(Hey!)
Be my be my toy
[chanting]
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
(You have to pay for everything, but some things are for free)
(We live on blood, we are Sparta F.C.)
(English Chelsea fan, this is your last game)
(We're not Galatasaray, we're Sparta F.C.)
(You have to pay for everything, but some things are for free)
(We live on blood, we are Sparta F.C.)
Come on I will tell you how it will change
When I give you something to slaughter
(English Chelsea fan this is your last game)
(We're not Galatasaray, we're Sparta F.C.)
We are Sparta F.C.
Theme From Sparta F.C. (UK album version)
Come on I will show you how I will change
When you give me something to slaughter
Shepherd boy, hey
(Hey!)
Everybody sing, hey
(Hey!)
Better act quick, hey
(Hey!)
Be my toy
Come on have a bet
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
[Eleni's Greek vocals]
I don't have a jackknife it went up the hill
I don't know if I'll get it back
But by hook or by crook I will
(Hey! Hey!)
Be my toy
Come on have a bet
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
(Hey! Hey!)
(We have to pay for everything)
(Hey!)
(But some things are for free)
(Hey!)
(We live on blood)
(Hey!)
(We are Sparta F.C.)
(Hey!)
(English Chelsea fan)
(Hey!)
(This is your last game)
(Hey!)
(We're not Galatasaray)
(Hey!)
(We're Sparta F.C.)
(Hey!)
(Eleni's Greek vocals]
And take your fleecy jumper, you won't need it anymore
It is in the car boot moving away
As where you are going clothes won't help
Stay at home with TV set
Be my toy
Come on have a bet
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
Cheap English man in the paper-shop
You mug old women in your bobble hat
Better go spot a place to rest
No more ground boutique at match in Chelsea
We are Sparta F.C.
Come on have a bet
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.
(Hey! Hey!)
(Shepherd boy)
(Hey!)
(Everybody sing)
(Hey!)
(Better act quick)
(Hey!)
(Be my toy)
(Hey!)
(Come on have a bet)
(Hey!)
(So I can win)
(Hey!)
(This is not a poem)
(Hey!)
(For the bin)
(Hey!)
(I don't have a jackknife)
(Hey!)
(It went up the hill)
(Hey!)
(I don't know if I'll get it back)
(Hey!)
(By hook or crook I will)
(Hey!)
(English Chelsea fan)
(Hey!)
(This is your last game)
(Hey!)
(We're not Galatasaray)
(Hey!)
(We're Sparta F.C.)
We're Sparta F.C.
Sparta!
