My First Post - Be Gentle

Les Miserables: 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back!

Season 2015-16 under Adkins: 9 months of my life that I'll never get back.

Seams like a few of us are getting inspired to write chants for our beloved Blades !!This is my first ever post, so please be gentle. I am a Blade of 50 plus years so I’ve been to hell and back and back again. After watching our team v Bolton I was inspired to write this ‘anthem’ which is not a replacement for Greasy Chip butty,. This is a ‘call to arms’ a ‘war cry’, to inspire a cavalry charge to get us over the line and back towards where we belong. I would just love it if they would print it in the program so that 20000 + could sing it at the next home match. The tune is to a great song from Les Miserable called ‘Do you here the people sing’ (see attached link if you are not familiar with it). It may be a bit long, but is says it all !!


Do you hear the Shoreham Boys
Singing for Chrissy Wilders’ men
This is the anthem of the Blades fans
So we sing this song for them

When the passion on the pitch
Echo's the passion on the kop
The Red and White Army's march will never stop

We’ve got Freeman, Moore and Hanson
Jack O’Connel, Fleck and Wright
Duffy, Coutts and Lafferty,
Chris Basham keeps it tight
King Billy’s on fire so the future is all RED & WHITE
(repeat verse 1 & 2)
So we're calling on you Blades fans
From the Lane End to the kop
To make some noise and raise the roof
Our team will never stop
Together we'll fight every game to go right to the top !

My absi

My absolute fav musical - tears to my eyes every time (just like United have been doing for many years mostly for the Wong (sorry, wrong - that was another thread ) reason. This would raise the roof and could be a second anthem but.....unless we have song sheets in the program / on the seats / pinned on the wall in the bogs for the next n years it will just be a dream - a wet one though

Ha! So am I ta, and in a similar vein to you I like Pet Shop Boys tunes, quinoa and foreign cinema. I even quite enjoyed ballet.

But people telling trite stories through the medium of bland generic songs? Torture.

You should really go and see the Book of Mormon

Steady on GHBIT , I knew you liked Les Miserables , but don't get too soppy , or sloppy ......
Now then , just to get you back on track , how about Russell Crowe singing :
"A bow legged chicken and a knock kneed hen
I ain't had a wank since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and I talk with a squawk
Doing the Shoreham ......Boot walk
Na na na na na na na na , na na na na na na na na ,
You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in !

 

[Keen Blade]

Bring him home , bring him home ,
Let him fly in from Toronto ,

Too many musicals ,
And not enough Shoreham ,

Has taken its toll ,
Bring him home !

I had an idea for a blades song using the Le Nozzie de Figaro from the Marriage of Figaro (and I guarantee you've all heard it, but where have you heard it?). Surely the most beautiful sound ever made!



But I thought better than to mention it to a stadium full of blokes who struggle to belt out a rendition of Annie's song without getting into a 20 page rant about the Magnet/Maggots lyrics!

But welcome anyhoo Bowman Blade, can't wait for your next idea

Think Ive heard that on an episode of Morse.........Is there a prize?

Nah, it featured in the Shawshank Redemption.....

Surely the most beautiful sound ever made!

Well that'll teach me to go all guns blazing with my first post... battered and bruised its off to the pub to sink a few vessels and try and forget this ever happened !,

Don't go to Dempseys then, it'll only get worse, although you may hear a few show tunes!
