New SUFC Song

[Smiffy]

OMG...........that is as close to perfect as you can get.....I closed my eyes and pictured it ringing out around the whole of Roots Hall with everyone’s Scarves raised aloft.....

I can honestly say that put goose bumps on the back of my neck.

And i agree....don’t change a single word from the original

So no "Sail on Southend" or "If you need a fan"?

 

[Medway Blue]

So no "Sail on Southend" or "If you need a fan"?

Yes, I would still give at least the "Sail on Southend" thing a go. It personalises that verse/piece of music to the club by only changing one word and it doesn't take the micky out of the original lyrics in any way. I'd still go with 'Sail on Southend'.

 

[Smiffy]

My only concern is maybe that particular verse is not quite long enough? Only around a minute long, unless we sing the whole lot from 3:00 mins to the end?..

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

So no "Sail on Southend" or "If you need a fan"?

on reflection.......i think it should be totally original. And i agree that it should be a bit longer......maybe the first verse and the last verse (which is the one we have just been listening to?

 

[shrimpled]

All for BOTW. I'm young and i know the words! It must be done!

 

[steveo]

who mentioned YMCA? How about this version

Tilly, make sure we don’t go down,
I said Tilly, get the team off the ground
I said Tilly, cos were losing again
Theres no need to blame the tactics

Tilly, there's a place you can go.
I said, Tilly when you’ve spent all Rons dough,
You can get loans, from the Premier teams
and the fans - will - have - a - good - time.

Its fun to follow the S- U- F- C
Its fun to follow the S -U -F –C

Tilly Tilly, are you listening to me,
Dont keep your subs off till were losing by 3

 

[Medway Blue]

It's winning them over, AS :)

Didn't understand......you think we should stick with the original lyrics?

Super Glue there hands together....then they will have to sing along

 

[Smiffy]

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
WE will dry them all

WE'RE on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down..

Sail on SOUTHEND,
Sail on by
OUR time has come to shine
And All OUR dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
WE'RE sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
WE will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
WE will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
WE will ease your miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnd


How about that..

Two verses..

The words are meaningful

Fooking pefect

Gets my full backing, unless something better can be found..

:hilarious:

I do worry about this section of support though,this is why the "barmy army" chant is so well sung even though though it's crap,it's all they will muster i'm afraid.

Smiffy............I think you and me are the new Simon and Garfunkle...

That is Perfect.

Do you want to be the short one or the one with the big hair????

Cricko.....Please submit this to the Powers that be

if you really wanted a serious anthem then BOTW is without doubt a belter. However, I still feel 7000 blokes singing 'Ha Ha Ha Ha staying alive staying alive' in falsetto would bring the house down :hilarious:

Singing it at the Withdean Stadium might bring something down...........don’t think it would be the house....more like the locals trousers!!!!!!

Blue - Alison Moyet

Only choice. No poll needed.

 

[Sean 2]

Get Alison Moyet to sing BOTW on the pitch as an introduction to the song as a club anthem,i would pay good money to see that.
That would be our adopted song there on,no probs.

Slightly edited again, I think it's important we include the "WE's" And "WERE's" instead of "I" and "I'll"

I'll be the short one, will have to lose some weight though!

It will be a difficult one to introduce, but as the saying goes Rome wasnt built in a day and all that..

Me and Cricko will submit this first thing.. along with all the other suggestions..

Keep 'em coming guys
