Who can blame you for wanting a little extra nourishment by means of a blade of grass or two, some skittles that you've snuck in, or cricketing equipment (they're full of fibre)?

Don't wanna see no mud, so hide it while you can.
But the seam is really tough, can't use a broken tin can
, So bite it. But you're gonna be banned.

It doesn't matter who's left or right.
Just bite it, bite it * 4
