The Impossible Dream...

[Worksop_Blade]

One of my favourite songs and I think it suits United fans well.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.


Come on United for once, achieve.

Great song. But the class of our 'unbeatable foe' has diminished somwhat hasn't it? Wigan. Burnley. Stevenage?

Andy Williams or Matt Monro?

The latter for me. The UK's greatest crooner. He would have been up there with Sinatra but for the booze.

Andy Williams, his version is more epic sounding.

The Elvis version is shite, he should have stuck to golden revolvers and cheeseburgers.

But this is equally inspirational and appropriate:


There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

Yes, but could he juggle?..........

Alex Harvey all the way! Although he only sung a snippet of it.
