One of many boring chants we have. Even the rags have some decent ones.

First part is an old song on its own and not particularly a football song. Heard in the pubs of Gorton from at least the early eighties.
cyberblue said:No mate it Started the way i said Bill Black was with us in Ireland & the seasons after he used to run coach trips all over the place & they used to sing it then as i said I WOULD NOT PUT MY NAME OR MENTION A DEAD MATE IF IT WAS NOT 100% Truelevets said:Didsbury Dave said:Noone believed me when I posted this in the original thread:
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....
I stick by what i said... I'm older than most of you, so I'm right!... think P&W just adapted it..
Don, I'm not trying to disrespect you or your mate... but as Dave suggests above... could it not be that it was 're born' then... I remember invisible man in the 80's... the ireland trip was when? August 92... Anyway.... onwards & upwards...

Agree with this 100%. I was there in The Foresters when it all started, and was a regular at all the early meetings for the P&W branch.
Good shout Don.

It really is, yes it doesn't meaning anything but it sounds fuckin great. This is why almost every team has made up their own versions about not being moved, regardless of what they might not be moved from being any good.
