01. Theme From Sparta F.C. #2 (Smith/Watts/Pritchard) 3:52  Lyrics

Come on I will show you how I will change
When you give me something to slaughter
Shepherd boy (Hey!)
Everybody sing (Hey!)
Better act quick (Hey!)

Be my toy
Come on have a bet
We live on blood
We are Sparta F.C.

[background vocal by Elena]

I don't have a jack knife 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 this is your last game (Hey!)
We're not Galatasary We're Sparta F.C. (Hey!)

[background vocal by Elena]

And take your fleecy jumper you won't need it anymore
It is in the car boot moving away
'Cause 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 jack knife (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 Galatasary (Hey!)
We're Sparta F.C. (Hey!)

Sparta!

Recording info & notes
Track 1 recorded early 2004. Track 2 recorded live at Kantine, Cologne, Germany on 23 October 2001.

The video (track 3) was produced by Adam & Remy from BINg Films. The audio for the video is the original version of the song, not the #2 version from track 1 of this single. The first pressing of the CD also contained a hidden track, Portugal (aka Debacle (For The Record)), in wav and 192kbps MP3 file formats, playable only on a computer. These CDs were supposed to be destroyed other than a handful of copies which had been sent out as promos, however it seems this didn't happen and the retail CDs were distributed with Portugal included. There is also a one track promo on CDR featuring track 1.
