There are other threads out there about this, but XTC's 'Red Brick Dream' is a Swindon Town anthem waiting to happen.
I think this is the last thread in which the suggestion was made. New STFC Terrace Song Challenge |

I think it was last season that the pikeys played 'making plans for Nigel' after we beat them on their turf.
Not sure if tat was deliberate or not.
12345 senses overtime would make an even better footy chant. Disappointed it hasn't been used yet.

sorry to disappoint but his name is pronounced cahr-evv also agree that XTC is horribly under-represented in and around Swindon. |

What about just getting them to clap like an accelerating steam train? Surely they could manage that. Clap clap clap clap Clap clap clap clap Clap clap clap clap Clapclapclapclap Add arm movements and whistles and it'll keep them happy for hours. Over to Jayo I think. |

It's not as simple as Sloop John B, I'll give you that. But there are some repeatable sections in it. And the lyrics are, basically, poetry. You'd have to take just one or two verses...obviously including 'Swindon Town'.
Red brick dream
Windows scream
As the rusting North Star shines above
And drops its iron beams
Crashing down upon the rooves of Swindon Town
I heard the engine's dying breath
Castles and kings all starved to death
I dropped the Coronation cup
Sshh, please don't wake them up from
Red brick dream
Red brick dream
Buttons gleam
By the light of the furnace pouring
Molten memories
Splashing down upon the rooves of Swindon Town
The men of muscle piston rods
Who forged the horses of the gods
The made the town a set of chains
And sleeping it remains in
Red brick dream.

Andy Partridge, and XTC's back catalogue in general, is massive underrated.

Rotherham definitely did. |
