Now this IS all my own work.
Works best if you have an instrumental version to listen to as you read. :-)

It wasn't easy, but things have changed
Let me try to explain how we feel
That we still laugh at you after all that you've done
You didn't rate us
All that you saw was a team you once knew
Although they were younger this time
And seeking revenge over you
We had to make it happen, it had to change
Couldn't spend all our lives feeling down,
Losing games to your cheating, and having no fun
You tried your hardest
Passing around, with Ortega and crew
But nothing got past us at all
We never expected it to
Chorus:
Won't cry for you Argentina
The truth is we never liked you
Your constant cheating
Hacking and diving
You can go home now
Your World Cup's over!
It's in the rule book, part of the game
The losers, they have to go home
To the rest of the world, it was all you deserved
What a disaster
You are not the world-beaters you promised to be
You were nothing but poor all the time
Your sad tears are so nice to see.
Won't cry for you Argentina
(Chorus)
Was it all too much?
Nothing more that your players could offer you?
When all you had to do was beat the 'imbeciles'
To carry your team through.

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Chorus:
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina
(Chorus)
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true,

Does that mean when you're asked to smile for the camera you do it by contorting your face in confusion?
Fascinating...
Fascinating...

I'll CTRL+W you in a minute, you...
Actually, my face contorted with resentment would probably resemble a normal human being...

LOL amazing piece of work. it was great, the best song i've heard for ages.
I was disapointed to see them go out, one of the better teams to watch when they play at their best. Only a few teams like Brazil have that entertaining value with their game.
Good lyrics but I didn't like the bit about diving, hacking and cheating. Guess thats just me and my Scottish thoughts :-)
