  Verse 1

  Twelve of us out on the pitch Goalposts leaning, shaking loud Somebody's shouting your name You're the one who draws the crowd

  Pre-chorus

  Mud on your knees, grin on your face Nobody plays it like you do Count down now, we're getting close

  Chorus

  Eva, this whole field's alive for you Candles catching in the breeze We're kicking joy across the lines So happy birthday, if you please

  Verse 2

  White lines fading in the grass Somebody's cheering from the side You always find a way to win Even when you haven't tried

  Pre-chorus

  Cake is waiting by the goal Nobody sings it quite like we do Here we go, the count is close

  Chorus

  Eva, this whole field's alive for you Candles catching in the breeze We're kicking joy across the lines So happy birthday, if you please

  Bridge

  Another year has kicked on through Still the one that we look for You're the reason we came out today Cheering loudest at the door

  Chorus

  Eva, this whole field's alive for you Candles catching in the breeze We're kicking joy across the lines So happy birthday, if you please

  Outro

  Goalposts still shaking, light is low Happy birthday, Eva, off you go

  Verse 1

  Chrome drums spinning behind the glass Boxes stacked while the wet ones pass You walk in and the whole place turns Something in you just always burns

  Pre-chorus

  You got a shine that won't sit still Everybody here can feel the thrill Say the word and we're climbing the hill

  Chorus

  Eva, Eva, light of the room Bring the fire, watch it bloom You're the reason we're here tonight Eva, Eva, burning bright

  Verse 2

  Cardboard soaked but it don't care Nothing dulls what you got to wear Machines are turning, chasing the beat You move slower, still can't compete

  Pre-chorus

  You got a shine that won't sit still Everybody here can feel the thrill Say the word and we're climbing the hill

  Chorus

  Eva, Eva, light of the room Bring the fire, watch it bloom You're the reason we're here tonight Eva, Eva, burning bright

  Bridge

  Every year you spin us round again Same old floor but a brand new friend We keep coming back for that heat you bring Nobody else can make this room sing

  Chorus

  Eva, Eva, light of the room Bring the fire, watch it bloom You're the reason we're here tonight Eva, Eva, burning bright

  Outro

  Drums keep spinning behind the glass We'll still be singing when this one's passed

  Verse 1

  Milk bottles rattle on the step Under a porch light glowing gold Somebody's rising before the world wakes Just to bring you what you're owed

  Pre-chorus

  We've been counting down the days Waiting by the welcome mat Ready now to say

  Chorus

  Eva, light of every room You make the grey feel warm and gold Believer, dreamer, you're in bloom Eva, this is yours to hold

  Verse 2

  You never make an entrance loud But every room leans toward you still Something in the way you hold your head Makes the ordinary feel like a thrill

  Bridge

  However far your mornings roam There's a light left on for you Every step brings you closer home To the ones who see you true

  Chorus

  Eva, light of every room You make the grey feel warm and gold Believer, dreamer, you're in bloom Eva, this is yours to hold

  Outro

  The bottles ring out one more year Welcome home, the light's still here
