Armchair Quarterback
(专辑: I Have Returned - 1985)
Well, the
season's finally here and the
players hit the
field and every man feels like a
boy and every wife could kill. He's been buying beer since August. Running hot and running cold and thirty friends are on alert...that's all the
den will hold! He's the
Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks. The
all-american man, with a
cool one in his hand. The
Armchair Quarterback he's kind of fun and kind of fat. The
all-american man, with a
cool one in his hand. Now if you stand and block the
screen you may just lose your life and that goes for all thirty friends and the
thirty friends' wives. Then the
den falls silent we just need a
yard or two. They wouldn't change that channel now if the
Rockett's came on nude. The
announcer agrees with the
referee but the
den does not at all. And thirty fists are clinched in hate and pound upon the
wall. Why any fool could see he made that first down when he dived! If Howard Cosell came in now he'd never get out alive. 'Cause he's the
Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks. The
all-american man, with a
cool one in his hand. The
wives are all disgusted and they're meeting in the
yard on their way to wear the
numbers off our credit cards (shop, shop, shop) He's got his six year old son, Billy, sitting on the
floor. Watching college wrap-up and writing down the
scores. There stands uncle Andy bending empty cans. "for god sakes, Andy, get that cool one out of Billy's hand!". Well, what do you know it's half time where's the
bathroom tell me please. Don't go outside 'cause the
neighbors dog bites everything he sees. Well if they make it through the
Super Bowl well she'll be happy then 'cause she'll get back her TV and he'll give up the
den. He'll be tired and incoherent and he will not know his name. But he'll lift one eyelid just to say: "wake me up for the
ol' score game!" with a
cool one in his hand. Broken pretzles in the
rug. The
beer cans could be worse. She'll clean it up tomorrow and dread September first when once again...ha ha... The
season's finally here and the
players hit the
field. And every man feels like a
boy and every wife could kill. He's been buying beer since August running hot and running cold. And thirty friends are on alert...that's all the
den will hold. He's the
Armchair Quarterback he's full of beer and full of snacks. The
all-american man, with a
cool one in his hand. Yeah, the
Armchair Quarterback he's kind of fun and kind of fat. The
all-american man, with a
cool one in his hand. [repeat and fade]
