George Best 1946-2005

The only tragedy that George Best has to confront, is that he will never know how good he could have been."

I have never seen the man play, but they say he was a genius.

Robbie Williams - Advertising Space; Apt.

"There's no earthly way of knowing,
what was in your heart
when it stopped going,
the whole world shook
a storm was blowing through you
waiting for god to stop this
and up to your neck in darkness
everyone around you was corrupted
say something

there's no dignity in death
to sell the world your last breath
we're still fighting over everything you left

I saw you standing at the gates
when marlon brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our prophets go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space

through your eyes the world was burning
please be gentle I'm still learning
you seemed to say as you kept turning up
they poisoned you with compromise
at what point did you realise
that everybody loves your life but you...."
