The Incompatibility Of Sport & Cosmic Consciousness Lyrics - Chumbawamba

When I play cricket 

I'm the longest at the wicket 

I can jump and swim 

And I live in the gym 

But I can't come to terms 

With my existence as part of the universe 

I gaze at the sky 

I think how? when? and why? 

I go to the lavatory 

In tune with astrology 

Well I get really confused 

With the complicated scoring system 

Used in tennis 

I get around in canoes 

Racing cars, balloons 

I drink squash, eat polo 

Mints, climb mountains solo 

But I can't get my head 

'round that salvador dali 

Weirdo stuff 

I really feel fine 

With the planets in line 

I see the future in hands 

And I live off the land 

But I can't see frank bruno 

Asking me which star sign 

I think he is 

Whether you are physically 

Or mentally inclined 

Imagine what the fun could be 

If both could be combined 

I know I'm speaking as a weakling 

With a cosmic kind of mind 

But I can feel in sport emotions 

Of a unifying kind 

So do whatever you like to do 

And whether you win or not 

Make sure the game was fairly played 

And try to smile a lot 

Because whatever you do should be good for you 

Make the most of what you've got 

'cause whatever you do should be good for you 

Make the most of what you've got
