We Used To Play Football Here - A song for the children suffering in Gaza & Ukraine

A song written only hours ago so this recording is only a raw, initial acoustic version but in my view that suits the harsh reality behind the song. I sincerely hope that one day those streets will once again resonate with the sound of children, laughter and football. The lyrics are: 1. We used to play football here, Me & my best friends. We’d kick around for hours - Never thought the game would end. 2. We used to play football here In this dead-end street. With imaginary goalposts We were on a winning streak 3. We used to play football here When we had food to eat. With smiles on our faces, Laughter filled the street 4. We used to play football here Then bombs fell from the sky. Bullets ricocheted And all my friends died. Why can’t we play football here? Trapped in someone else’s fight, We just want to play – Haven't we got the right? 5. We used to play football here, Me & my best friends. We’d kick around for hours - Never thought the game would end. 6. We used to play football here In this dead-end street. With imaginary goalposts We were on a winning streak Why can’t we play football here? Trapped in someone else’s fight, We just want to play – Haven't we got the right? 7. We used to play football here. We lost count of the score. We used to play football here But we don’t play any more. Copyright Simon Rose - August 2025
