Skirmish: The World Cup of Song (@dudachris)Liner Notes
Lyrics
In the world cup of songs There are rules of course Firstly everyone is welcome And everyone belongs
There are no cards, yellow or red But don’t get too full of yourself Don’t celebrate like you’ve just scored the winner And don’t be down on FAWMLING beginners, give them support There are many different points of view And some you might not want to hear There is no VAR but you can replay at will Smiling, foot-tapping encouraged
A song is a song, whether you like it or not Some leave you cold, others touch a nerve But everyone is doing their best And we’re all different, not like the rest, not like the others
So sing and belong, in the world cup of songs Where everything’s right and nothing is wrong In the world cup of songs

Bouncy, fun and uplifting!
"So sing and belong, in the world cup of songs Where everything’s right and nothing is wrong" 🥲
I should've expected nothing less than a total grand slam from Gordon. A total gem!
Really nice. Yes, rules that does not restrict, but allow you to be a better musician and human being. Well done.
I love the way the rule book starts with “everyone”! A cheerful, heartfelt, get-the-gang-together kind of song.
Nice bouncy feel. The message of inclusion, rather than competition, certainly feels right for this site.
Lovely lyrics for a meta-fawm moment. I quite like the melody, too. Nice vocal layering moments.
