Old song for Shoreham....

[bricktop]

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!

I'm a Rambler, I'm a Rambler, 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
I'm a Rambler, I'm a Rambler, I'm a Blade till i die

Thats the version i know, me and my mates starting singing it everywhere we went away towards the end of the 05/06 season. Love it as it reminds me of being younger, having plenty of spare cash, and travelling up and down the country every week getting hammered on the ale, and seeing the Blades going up.

What is the Drops of Acid song?

 

[FleaPitBlade]

What is the Drops of Acid song?

Drops of acid on your clothing
Drops of acid in your hair
When your on shoreham street,
you’ll find there’s acid everywhere

Pig fans run, pig fans hide
There aint nothing they can do
They tried to put on armour
But the acid burnt right through

So ya see, there’s no escape
So why not face it and admit
That the shoreham boys throw acid
And it burns a little bit

 

[FlyingFjortoft]

When it comes to the unclean I do like the SWINGING A PIG song myself.

I love it (often at Hillsborough) when everyone accompanies it by swinging their arm around. Always think it must look pretty good.

 

[SwissBlade]

I was told by a pig fan that I can't sing swinging a pig as I've never been to Hyde park flats which is correct.

Not sure of his point really. Think it just winds him up

I take it you've swung a pig then?

Who hasnt?

 

[Russ]

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.

pommpey

There was the 80's classic "You're going home in a Yorkshire ambulance"

I think it was sang to either opposition fans when there was trouble, or players when they had just got injured after a crunching tackle.

The classic OO-AA BOB BOOKA was a good one, Man Ure pinched it for Cantona.

 

[judge]

It was Paul McGrath originally

Olly will tell you all about Paul McGrath, just meet him for a few real ale in t'Rutland.

:heart: Wilson hate hoofball

It was Paul McGrath originally

Not at Bramall Lane it wasn't.

 

[mekkyblade]

'wings of a sparrow' for me i never get tired of that one.

 

[stannyblade]

how about today we have, we all hate leeds scum? Very apt today

 

[kingston RAWW]

Quote from Blade too long message:

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.



So we signed Flynn so that he would fit into a chant rhyme. Its all starting to make sense. Clever bloke that Danny.

 

[SwissBlade]

I take it you've swung a pig then?

No but i've arm wrestled a wild boar

 

[mattbianco1]

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)

if we're being "picky". It's actually EVERY year is 1889

 

[WhiteHawk]

I'm a Rambler, I'm a Rambler, 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
I'm a Rambler, I'm a Rambler, I'm a Blade till i die

No, no, no, no, no. I hate it when I hear that version!

It's "I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler"

And the last line is "But I'll follow United till the day that I die"

 

[TAMUS]

Bless em all ,Bless em all ...the long and the short and the tall , for we are United and we are the best we are United so feck all the rest .

 

[metalblade]

The only song I'd like to hear is a loud rendition of...................................







SHEFFIELD WENDIES F****D IT UP AGAIN

 

[Kenilworth]

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

Nope, I don't like that one either. It's like the road sign "use both lanes" the word "Soccer" or the use of the word "math" instead of "maths".

I do like one I think we pinched from one of the north london clubs, which went like,
"My old man said be a Wendy fan, I said F**K OFF, Bollocks, your'e a c**t"

Also agree with Metal - SWFUIA is great

I love the round of "Sheffield United" when we are away from home - simple but effective. Longest rendition of that on my travels was at Grimsby when we got thumped 4-0 and the chant lasted at least 35 minutes - well, the football was shit so we had to let them know who we were. That and the mock gay chant of "Mawwiners, Mawwiners" which used to wind em up no end.

I also agree ith Super Pig on the Molly Malone song - that were alus a good 'un

Then there is the old favorite, "We all 'ate Leeds and Leeds ...etc... We all F**CKIN' 'ate Leeds"

'Appy days when you cud stand ont kop and bellow out obsenities to your heart's content as well as end up 60 yards from where you started after a Blades goal.

 

[LSF]

This one was always my favourite in the 60's, pity we can't revive it these days....

(to the tune of 'Those were the days')

We've travelled far and wide,
London to Merseyside,
But there is only one place I
wanna be,
And that is Shoreham Street,
Where it is magnifique,
Where Wednesdayites lay dead at
our feet.
Na na naaa na naaa
Na na naaa na naaa

 

[Staffs_Blade]

We had joy we had fun
We had Wednesday on the run
But the fun didn't last
'Cause the bastards ran too fast

Another politically incorrect one from the 70's/early 80's.

 

[Torrix1889]

Dug out my old CD last night......

My old man said be a Wednesday fan, I said f*ck off, b*llocks you're a c*nt

Always had a nice ring to it!

 

[Blademan1889]

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

You mean this one.

I was walking down Shorham Street swinging a chain
up came a Wednesday fan so I hit him in the brain
I kicked him in the bollocks and
I kicked him in the head
Now that Wednesday fan is dead.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Yep sounds familiar

 

[beightonblade]

The loudest i've ever heard the kop was a chant of Tony Tony Currie ............. that went on for yonks after one of his goals .
