And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.

Authority Song
They like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smille in your face
They think, theyre so cute when they got you in that condition
Well I think, its a total disgrace
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
So I call up my preacher
I say: gimme strenght for round 5
He said: you dont need no strength, you need to grow up, son
I said: growing up leads to growing old and then to dying,
And dying to me dont sound like all that much fun
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
Oh no
Oh no
I fight authority, authority always wins
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since I was a young kid
Ive come out grinnin
I fight authority, authority always wins

The team that wins two-thirds of its one run games usually wins the pennant.
War Of Man
The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mothers arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.
Ears ringin from the battle fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel.
No one wins
Its a war of man,
No one wins
Its a war of man.
Silver mane flyin in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where theyre runnin to
But every kind is comin two by two.
Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound
The daddys runnin on the frozen ground
Cant smell the poison as it follows him
Cant see the gas and machines, its a war of man.
No one wins
Its a war of man,
No one wins
Its a war of man.
The windows open and the little girl dreams
The skys her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride.
The baby creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mothers arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.
No one wins
Its a war of man,
No one wins
Its a war of man,
No one wins.

The important thing to recognize is that it takes a team, and the team ought to get credit for the wins and the losses. Successes have many fathers, failures have none.

Well, Judy, I would hope in the new year, we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl, where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser.

Nobody Wins
Any more it doesnt matter
Whos right or wrong
Weve been injuring each other
For much too long
And its too late to try to save
What might have been
Its over
Nobody wins
Make believin in forever
Is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder
Each time we try
cause its a shame to make
The same mistakes again
And again
Its over.
Nobody wins
Weve gone too far too long
Too far apart
The lovin was easy
Its the livin thats hard
And theres no need to stay and see
The way it ends
Its over.
Nobody wins

This Is The Football Season
This is the football Season it is that time of year
When men in the pub talk football as they enjoy their beer
And look forward to September when one club will fly the winner's flag
The team that wins the Premiership gives their fans the right to brag.
Their wives nicknamed the footy widows their husbands at the football club
Or after work talking football with their mates down at the local pub
They take football so seriously 'tis their passion in life
The footy fan loves his football club as much as his children or his wife.
And if their team lose at the weekend they feel and look so sad
What's known as football addiction they seem to have it bad
They feel sad for their football team and the chance of four premiership points gone
But they cheer up and look forward to next weekend's game as the working week wears on.
This is the football Season football has gone to their head
And their football scarves and beanies they even wear to bed
About their team they feel so passionate as if to them it did belong
And 'tis with delight and pride in victory that they sing the club song.

If he wins seven golds and ties what I did, then it would be like I was the first man on the moon and he became the second. If he wins more than seven, then he becomes the first man on Mars. We'd both be unique.

Who ever wins today will win the championship no matter who wins.
The championship always goes to the team that wins the most rounds and is the most prepared. I think everybody on our team works hard towards keeping that goal. Time will tell if we're prepared or not.

Quieting Their Egos and Putting Out Their 'Lights
It takes more than a winning attitude,
To actually produce a win.
Some believe it is owed to them.
Those accustomed to adulation.
And no one wins alone!
Some 'superstars' have found this out.
After unknowns have captured their throwns.
It takes more than a winning attitude,
To actually produce a win.
Some believe it is owed to them.
Those accustomed to adulation.
And overpaid folks,
Often provoked jokes...
When their talents and skills,
From them take a hike.
Overnight they might rise,
To heights of fame and glory.
But at a blink of an eye...
Their blessed gifts have been diminished.
And no one wins alone!
Some 'superstars' have found this out.
After unknowns have captured their throwns.
Quieting their egos and putting out their 'lights'.
'Where is that championship you promised us? '
~Well, I...er...um...uh.
Well...
Uh...oh...uh...er ...~
'You can always blame it on the 'bling'.
And not the 'brawn' you didn't bring.
It doesn't pay to believe one's own hype.'
~Well, I...er...um...uh,
Right. Right! ~

Beneficial
The benefits accompany the man who wins,
Problems of sleep calculate me and his worries.
May I learn in ways too important, too wise,
That returns appear and exercise - too wise.
May winning benefit me rather than him,
Victory worked according to heaven.
Fleeing from the site is evil and winning,
But winning does not come or reappear.
Those men who win shall overpower the enemy
In the correct form, in the absolute manner.
This is to win, this is to prosper,
Another triumph brings joy and happiness.

Fighting The Odds
It was a wet fall day.
Leaves falling off the trees as if they were helicopters landing on the ground.
I was on my way to me final soccer game of the season.
I was not sure if I would be playing or not because my temperature was 100 degrees.
My head felt like a 100 pound weight pushing me to the ground.
But I had to play because I had started every game in goal and I was just not able to let my team down on the undefeated season and the division title.
I was dizzy and felt like I was just been pushed around on a spinner at the local park. It was a feeling that I will never forget, it has been 5 years and I still remember this feeling.
The referee blew the whistle to show that the game was over after the 70 minutes of harsh play.
My team was as happy as winning a lottery!
After the game we took a team photo by the goal with everyone one holding up one finger to show that we are number one.
Everyone was as excited as can be because our team was not expected to do this well this season.
In the ending I had to have brain surgery because I had a rare sickness called encephalitis.
But it was worth playing in the rain playing a game I will never forget.

THEY MUST HAVE LOVED EACH OTHER ONCE
BUT THAT WAS MANY YEARS AGO
AND BY THE TIME I CAME ALONG
THINGS WERE ALREADY GOING WRONG
I FELT THE PAIN IN THEIR PRETENCE
THE SIDE THEY TRIED HARD NOT TO SHOW
BUT THROUGH THE SIMPLE EYES OF YOUTH
IT WASN┬┤T HARD TO SEE THE TRUTH
AND IN THE END NOBODY WINS
WHEN LOVE BEGINS TO FALL APART
AND IT┬┤S THE INNOCENT WHO PAY
WHEN BROKEN DREAMS GET IN THE WAY
THE GAME BEGINS
THE GAME NOBODY WINS
THEY MUST HAVE LOVED EACH OTHER ONCE
BEFORE THE MAGIC SLIPPED AWAY
AND AS THEIR LIFE BECAME A LIE
WHAT LOVE REMAINED BEGAN TO DIE
I USED TO HIDE BENEATH THE SHEETS
I PRAYED THAT TIME WOULD FIND A WAY
BUT WITH THE PASSING OF THE YEARS
I WATCHED AS LAUGHTER TURNED TO TEARS
AND IN THE END NOBODY WINS...
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER ONCE
WITHALL THE PASSION WE POSSESSED
BUT PEOPLE CHANGE AS TIME GOES BY
SOME FEELINGS GROW WHILE OTHERS DIE
BUT IF WE LEARN FROM WHAT WE SEE
AND FACE THE TRUTH WHILE WE STILL CAN
THEN THOUGH THE PASSION MAY BE GONE
SOME KIND OF LOVE CAN STILL LIVE ON

Love Wins Over Everything
She loves with heart and soul
His love sets her heart on fire
A love that is rare but so true
How he fills her every desire
Love Wins Over Everything
He thinks of her and smiles
He wants to hold her very tight
She is his life and much more
The love he gives is for life
Love Wins Over Everything
Together they lay side by side
The words of love flows on
How much love they share
True love is always so strong
Love Wins Over Everything

Conspiracy Of One
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
One who acts alone
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
One who acts alone
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
(2x)
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
(guitar interlube)
(2x)
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
