Songs and Chants

[8]

Hiya all. I thought it might be an idea to start a thread on the songs and chants that Blues supporters have.

If like me you are a bit hard on hearing clearly (even with hearing aids) I cannot make out the words the west stand x blockers are saying. I feel like a right idiot shouting out different words to everyone else.

So, come on Shrimpers, post your chants and songs on here so us old gits can join in.

Your going home in a Southend ambulance can often be heard from the East side D section.

Or come and have a go if you think your hard enough.

 

[Strike Force]

Some of the songs should become more gender neutral.

'we're the Southend boys making all the noise' is hardly friendly to our female and non binary supporters.

i did suggest a 'make a chant' competition a few months ago... think that was also along with 'form a southend band'... anyway... any budding writers or composers could stick their songs up for recording, then we could do a 'Eurovision' style vote.... Nil Point!

Thoughts?

It would be great to have a song that everyone knows and the whole ground can rise too before and during the game.

Great idea

Maybe some old navy battle sea shanty

Surely you're not suggesting the chorus (to be adapted) from this lot?! Something about the band name I like though!

It's always a bit difficult to catch the chants clearly from the far end of the West from where we sit in T block. Mrs RHB is convinced that the referee blinks a lot when the Blue Voice chant the referee's a winker, I don't disabuse her of what she thinks she is hearing. One that isn't hard to grasp is the super Steve Arnold in goal chant, and yeah, we do like it.

Bertie mee said to Bill Shanley have you heard of the north bank Highbury
Shanks said no I don't think so
But I've heard of the Southend North Bank
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
we are the Southend North Bank

s already known

Thanks KM. That's the type of response I was looking for. Anyone got any up to date stuff.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Southend on sea, Southend on sea, the longest pier your ever see....

From Roots Hall to Wembley, we going to get there eventually

Sea Sea sea Seasides :-)

 

[Pak Power]

Woke up this morning feeling fine;
Southend United on my mind;
We play our football, the way, the way that you should.............oh yeah;
something tell's me we're on to something good!

 

[RHB]

Way back in the day we were away to Derby County in a Cup game and the Derby Police and the Derby stewards were pretty hot at insisting on silencing abusive (swearing) chants. So come their goal kicks where it would have been 'You're **** Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh' it was adapted to 'You're not very good Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh'. I actually prefer that to the original as it always reminds me of Derby away. That was also the day I had a Maserati air horn shoved down my jeans by my so called mates as I was the only one that looked a bit normal out of us all to dodge the random body searches.. Oh the joys of youth.

Weird place to keep your sports car. Humble brag alert!

When I was a little boy….

I've added the air horn bit to go with it now.

Tip toe through the North Bank

But I love this one. It brings back great memories of singing it all through the playoff final at Wembley. The only time I have actually sang myself hoarse!

Tip toe through the North Bank
