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.

Title: Re: songs that should be football chants Post by: Red Frog on Friday, November 16, 2012, 17:08:05 yeah, and good luck with trying to get the TE choir to master that Ardiles! 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.

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.

Not sure if tat was deliberate or not. Rotherham definitely did.
