No man love

Last week, Scuttlebutt received the following note from Gordon Clark:

I've written a song, dedicated to Grant Dalton, and every other hard man of New Zealand. We're just in the process of recording it. - Gordon Clarke, gordon@clarkenewton.co.nz

The recording is done, and the song is here with the lyrics below:

NO MAN LOVE by Gordon Clarke and Jason Smith

Hey, Grant, what’s that you say?
We’ve won, but there’s another day.
To win again, and rise above.
Let’s keep our heads.
No man love.

No man love
No hugs, no kisses.
Leave that for nights, alone with the missus.
No man love
When we cross the line.
A nod and a wink will be just fine

Hard men stay hard!
Hand stays in glove.
We all win together.
But there’s no man love.

No man love
No rubbing hips
No soccer ponces and onfield strips
No man love
When we score a try.
Just jog back quickly to the half way line.

Pinetrees don’t pine,
when we’re down on our luck.
We just hoist up the sails
and we bring back Buck.

We don’t play for the French,
the Yanks or the Swiss.
We’re not taking their money,
We’re taking the piss!

We sail straight. We sail true.
We give full credit, where credit is due
We beat the odds, we rise above,
And when we win,
There’s no man love.

No man love.
No tears of joy.
Except of course, when it’s a boy.
No man love.
No hugs all round.
Just standin’ tall and bein’ proud.

No man love.
