Get over it, get over it
The only person being punished by your principled position is you
Get over it, get over it
And you'll find yourself supplied with a pile of better things to do
I wasn't always the macho hunk of
Sheer beefcake you see before you now
At school I was a little fat kid, and P.E. was a weekly hell
So I pulled myself into books and I sneered at those who played games
I set myself above them, decided I would hate it forever
But then in 1996, I realised what I'd missed
I'd denied myself the fun of sport, the excitement, the drama
And so in short...
I got over it, got over it
Yasser's goal against the Scottish
Made my snobbish juxtaposition subside
I got over it, and now I'm over it
Gary Lineker's smoke and ruched European beard's opened up my mind
I used to say I didn't like curry
I thought it was disgusting and weird
Then found out it's not supposed to have sweetcorn
Sultanas, bananas, that's just how my mum made it
Taxis, restaurants, Jaffa Cakes, dishwashers and the sniffs
Are things I expressed disdain for
When the truth of the matter was this
I might have claimed high principles, but at the end of the day
I wasn't being moral or ethical, I was just afraid
So I got over it, got over it
And decided that denying the delights of life was frankly daft
I got over it, and now I'm over it
Won't let the future be deflected by
The crap that happened in the past
In the words of Sir Ludwig Guttman
The founder of the Paralympic Games
"This sitting around feeling sorry
For yourself is no good, cut it out!"
Or to put it another way...
Get over it, get over it
The only person being punished by your principled position is you
Get over it, get over it
And you'll find yourself supplied with a pile of better things to do
Get over it...
