Old song for Shoreham....

[Dog Blade]

After surprisingly getting excitied about Rodley's effort for a new song.... what about any old (and rare) songs that we should be re-releasing?

The Shoreham Bootboys CD brought a few back but surely we need a bit of a revival again....

For me number one would be the 'He's a Blade' song to the tune of Adam and the Ants's 'Prince Charming';


Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, supporting Sheffield Wednesday
He's a Blade, he's a Blade
Sheffield Wednesday's nothing to be scared of


Could be wrong on a few words, alcohol doesn't help with memory

Worth getting some of the 'singing section' versed up on these old beauties?

 

[Sean the Blade]

Will you come to Bramall Lane, No-o
Will you come to Bramall Lane, No-o
Will you come to Bramall Lane,
Get an 'atchet in the brain, no-o-o-o-o-o

--------------------------------------------------

Shoreham's here, Shoreham's there,
Shoreham's every-fucking-where

---------------------------------------------------

 

[Dog Blade]

Will you come to Bramall Lane, No-o
Will you come to Bramall Lane, No-o
Will you come to Bramall Lane,
Get an 'atchet in the brain, no-o-o-o-o-o

--------------------------------------------------

Shoreham's here, Shoreham's there,
Shoreham's every-fucking-where

---------------------------------------------------

Used to love those two as well as a nipper!

 

[cooperblade]

Would Gary Madine scan in the John Ritchie song?

 

[Tuns]

As a current part timer I'm not sure if this one's already re-surfaced?

Oh we are the Sheffield United
We play in the red white and black
and we are so proud to shout it out loud
championship we're coming back

 

[FleaPitBlade]

I sense an imminent revival of one classic....

Will Hoskins walked on the football pitch hurrah, hurrah....

My Dad used to sing that in the house all the time. It sometimes takes me a moment to separate the songs I've heard on the Kop from the ones he's sung at home!

 

[WhiteHawk]

My favourite is;

"I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
I'll follow United from Sheffield to Rome
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
But I'll follow United till the day that I die"

Love it and really wish we sang it. There is a slightly different version which just isn't right, can't remember how it goes now but it's only slightly different yet I still feel compelled to shout "THEY'RE THE WRONG WORDS!!" every time I hear it!

Love that song , sung it many a time on the train on the way home pissed out of my skull

My Dad gets irrationally annoyed when people sing "And if you are a Wednesday fan surrender or you'll die" instead of Wednesdayite. And he's passed it on to me!

 

[Large Mendonca]

What about "Walking down Shoreham Street swinging a chain" ??

I seem to remember that one from the 70s , but it's all in the dim and distant

 

[raul]

Love that song , sung it many a time on the train on the way home pissed out of my skull

Nice but what about matchdays ?

 

[Rodley]

Love a bit of "I'm a Rambler". Great song. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[judge]

Nice but what about matchdays ?

Yeah sometimes then as well

Another oldie........
"Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly,
Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury,
He said no, I don`t think so,
But I`ve heard of the Shoreham Boot Boys"!

 

[super_pig]

in dublins fair city
where the girls have big t******
i first set my eyes on sweet molly malone
as she wheeled her wheelbarrow
through the streets broad and narrow
singing
clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap
THE BLADES !!

 

[Darren]

The [insert name of opposing team] sing
I don't know why
Cos after the match
They're gonna die

To be sung after the opposition have scored. Another subtle one from the seventies/eighties...

 

[super_pig]

heh.. one of the noisiest chants was when the opposition teams scored which always triggered
'you're gonna get you're f**king heads kicked in'

you'd probably be ejected for singing that now (and rightly so some might point out).. different times

 

[Guesty]

"Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly,

"Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly,
Did you know David Hirst has got VD?
He said yes, what a mess,
Just like Sheffield Wednesdee!"

 

[blade too long]

Sung to the old we ant got a barrel of money

well theres no better elevens
than us with hoskins and evans
and with collins and flynn
we know we will win
united

 

[Rodley]

I stood on the Kippax Man City
I fought on the Clock End Highbury
When we get together we mek a lot of noise
We are the Shoreham BOOT BOYS!

 

[LSF]

Sang to the tune of 'Death of a Clown' - Dave Davies

Your scoreboards no good
Your stands made of tin
We'll drown all you bastards in bottles of gin
10,000 Wednesdayites lay dead on the floor
They won't come on Shoreham Street Kop anymore
Lets all drink to the death of Alan Brown...

Bit harsh, I have to say....

 

[Darren]

And the classic

No pig fans in town
No Hillsboruough to sadden my eyes
Jack Charlton is dead
And the pig fans have fled
And the year is 1889.

Though the Aspergers in me always has to point out

(a) Wednesday did not play at Hillsborough in 1889 (though I suppose it is then true there was then no Hillsborough to sadden one's eyes); and
(b) Jack Charlton wasn't born in 1889 (though I suppose in a Buddhist sense he could then be said to be dead as he would be between reincarnations)

Are you seriously suggesting you needed to point that out to some on here?

Point what out? The song or my comments?

 

[Crouchy]

I wonder if I am the only one who thinks that that song is utterly lame (and illogical as you have pointed out)?

My personal favourite is the excerpt from "Falling In Love With You"

 

[Cool Clint]

I think the whole point is that it is illogical.I dont find it lame at all i love it.

I really cannot think of a more lame song to sing than us singing about the pigs glorious victory on boxing day. I really wish we would not sing that.

I also like the 'falling in love with you' song.

 

[super_pig]

>And the classic
and the best.. better than GCB in my humble opinion. i always sing it in the car if i have to go through swillsboro (loudly)

 

[stannyblade]

When it comes to the unclean I do like the SWINGING A PIG song myself.
Other than that Barrel of money

 

[pommpey]

The correct song is:

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley
Have you heard of the North Bank, High-bur-eee
He said 'No, I don't think so,
But I've heard of the S-U, F-C!'

The 'You're Gonna Get Your Fuckin' 'eds kicked in!' shout is best heard of the BBC 100 great goals vid with Allan Clarke cracking one in for Leeds away at Ayesome Park v Middlesborough. Lorimer tips it to Clarke, he whacks it home, the players celebrate in near silence and then there's a growing 'Your'e gonna get your fucking heads kicked in!' chant from the Boro fans. Ace stuff!

Also to the same tune:

"You're going home in a fucking ambulance!"
"You're so shit, it's unbelieveable!"

There was also the 'Na-na-na' song to the tune of some old American hymn whenever we scored.
