Sshh, don't admit you don't know the tune, you'll get called an armchair fan.

Kippaxian said:Think of the " We are not, we're not really here........." as the chorus. Before the chorus you got:
If your're drunk, you will die.
If you're sober, you will die
So its better to be drunk than be sober when you die
The above is more or less shouted rather than sung to a particular tune
After the "when you die" you then roll into .... "just like the fans of the invisible man" to the tune that we all know and love!!

I was told it's "rebirth" was at a Prestwich and Whitefield branch do, the funeral of one of the members, where the above version "If you drink, you will die..." etc was sung.
It then caught on when we were in divisions 1 and 2 in the 96-98 era, obviously when we were stood at shitty grounds. I remember it had well caught on by the time we played away at Chesterfield. I remember some used to sing "WE're in Milan watching City in the champions league...we're not really here"
I hate to say I told you so but....
