Battle of the lyricists

[MK Shrimper]

Forgot about this with all my building shenanigans....

Battle of the Lyricists, simply nominate a lyricist and they get pitted in a bloody 1-1 battle against their peer. Provide evidence why your pick is the poppermost of the toppermost.

Hopefully get 16, so put your choice forward....there's no prize bar the satisfaction that you've won a poll on the world's favourite football website.
