Interlude I (Welford Road)

from Jumpers For Goalposts by Just Muz

/

about

Welford Road is the home
of Leicester Tigers, and
across the street is Leicester General Hospital where most of us were born, and where some would pass away. It always pained me when sitting in the stadium stand, and thinking of those nearby who could hear the cheers, sat in hospital beds. I wondered what they were thinking?

lyrics

I was twenty to four in the morning, 
during a storm - in Leicester General Hospital. 
A few wards away from where
I would visit my grandfather in his final days, 
Which was a few wards away from where our friend 
Mez would rest on his bed,
And listen to the cheers of Welford Road stadium
Where Leicester Tigers would be playing Rugby -
And he would wish 
He was once well enough to take a seat in the stand. 

Many men and women have been in that ward
And I wonder how many of them said they were glad
To have worked their entire life, just to stay afloat
Just to tread water
They never got to visit that ocean, they always wanted to dive into
What I mean is...
Life is too...
