Football Songs

I am a Liverpool fan. Loved them all my life. My father, however, is an Evertonian. My brother is an Evertonian. My best mate is an Evertonian. So I have never been a Bitter Red. I don't mind Everton and the only time I really enjoy seeing them lose is obviously on derby day.
However, there are thousands upon thousands of Bitter Blues out there... (and Reds too)

This was sent to me a while back, I was going through my old emails, and it gave me a giggle - It’s sung on the terrace's (or at least I think it is) at Goodison Park and it's about Michael Shields. The song is based on the theme tune from Prisoner Cell Block H.

"He used to go to Anfield,

they wish he could again,

but that was on the outside, and

things were different then...

He went the match in Turkey,

with several of his friends...

and when the waiter copped it,

they said he was in bed...

On the inside the match is on,

and he watches in hope...

but shower time is different,

don’t bend over for the soap...

Last night he dreamed of Anfield,

of sitting in the stand...

seeing all the players,

of the club that got us banned...

On the inside the match is on,

and he watches in hope...

but shower time is different,

don’t bend over for the soap...

He used to go to Anfield,

they wish he could again,

but that was on the outside,

and things were different then..."

See what I mean? Anyway, it made me think of other songs…

Fields of Anfield Road
“Outside the Shankly Gates I heard a Kopite calling:

Shankly they have taken you away
But you left a great eleven

Before you went to heaven
Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road.

(Chorus)
All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
We had Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road

Outside the Paisley Gates I heard a Kopite calling:

Paisley they have taken you away
You led the great 11

Back in Rome in 77
And the Red-men they are still playing the same way

(Chorus)
All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
We had Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road”

Poor Scouser Tommy
“Let me tell you the story of a poor boy,
Who was sent far away from his home,
To fight for his king and his country,
And also the old folks back home

So they put him in a higher division,
Sent him off to a far foreign land,
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands,
And there's nothing to see but the sand.

Now the battle it started next morning,
Under the radiant sun,
I remember our poor Scouser Tommy,
He was shot by an old Nazi gun

As he lay on the battlefield die-die-dying,
With the blood gushing out of his head (out of his head)
As he lay on the battlefield die-die-dying,
These were the last words he said:

Oooooh, I am a Liverpudlian,
and I come from the Spion Kop,
I like to sing, I like to chant,
I go there quite a lot.
Support a team, that plays in red,
A team that we all know,
A team that we call LIVERPOOL,
To glory we will go.

We won the league, we won the cup,
We've been to Europe too,
We played the Toffees for a laugh,
And left them feeling blue (5-0)
1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, 5-0!
Rush scored one,
Rush scored two,
Rush scored three,
And Rush scored four...”

My good friend, Kev Walsh’s band - Down And Outs – do a good Punk cover of this. You can listen to it by clicking the link. There are four songs on there, give the others a listen too…

If you want to see what other football songs are out there, you can check out http://home.wanadoo.nl/maarten.geluk/ which has quite a few clubs represented from home & abroad. It’s amazing how many teams use the same songs over and over.

I have added a couple more here. There are loads of very offensive ones which, although amusing I have decided not to include. Plus you can also check out the sheer hatred between Celtic & Rangers fans on the above link.

(Liverpool)

"There was a local derby, not too long ago,
The Everton fans were singing "Howard Kendall he must go".
But then he won a trophy, and he was Everton’s pride...
You two-faced Everton bastards you're the shite of Merseyside...
Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha-ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

There was a local derby, not too long ago,
The Everton fans were singing all the songs that they know.
Just when Kenny scored a brilliant goal, they said is was off side...
But we don't care cos' they scored none and we scored fucking five...
Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha-ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

There was a local derby, not too long ago,
The Everton fans were singing "David Moyes he must go".
But then he finished in fourth, and he was Everton’s pride...
You two-faced Everton bastards you're the shite of Merseyside...
Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha-ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."

(Arsenal)

"Who's that team they call the Arsenal?

Who's that team we all adore?

They're the boys in red and white,

And where fucking dynomite,

'cos Georgy Grahams mother is a whooore,

yeah she's a whore, yeah she's a whooore"

(Arsenal again)

"She wore She wore

She wore fishnet stockings

She wore fishnet stockings and stillettoes on her feet

And when I asked just why she wore those stockings

She said it's for my client and his name is David Pleat David Pleat, David Pleat,

He's the famous Tottenham pervert And his name is David Pleat..."

(Aston Villa)

"Can you hear the Cockneys singing?

No, No!

Can you hear the Cockneys singing?

No, No!

Can you hear the Cockneys singing?

I can't hear a fucking thing!"

(Tranmere Rovers)

"We're not scousers

We're From Birkenhead

So you can fuck your cathedrals

and shove your Pier Head!"

(Sunderland)

"There's only one senile bastard

one senile bastard

with his pension book and his zimmer frame

Bobby Robsons pissed himself again"

(Newcastle United)

"I know a makem takem, he lives along the way,

I know he is a makem, he's big and fat and gay,

and every time I see him, he makes me want to spew,

he's just a mekem takem, from Division two,

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah......"

Just like to add that all the Man U songs were shite. No surprises there then.

Have a nice day :)
