Is this our song or did we nick it off someone?

[There is a Light]

And what are the rest of the words?

Those were the days my friend, we took the Stretford End
We took the Kop, the Clock End and the Lane...

A bit 'naughty' sounding but decent if its one of our own

 

[lancs blue]

Think it was originally a Liverpool song.

We took the KOP?

Have no idea tbh...

Version I recall was something like

...we took the Stretford End,
We took the Shed, the North Bank Highbury,
We took the Copland Road (Rangers)
We are the Kop of Liverpool FC.

Those were the days my friend, we took the Stretford End
We took the Kop, the north bank highbury

we'd go in pubs and booze
and fight and never lose

oh yes those were the days

I can only ever remember Wolves singing that 'Mary Hopkins' song , even going back to the very early seventies on the South Bank terrace ...... and they're still fuckin' at it today!

From memory... t'was a while ago.

Those were the days my friend
we took the stretford end, the North bank highbury
We are the Kippax Blues
And now we're after you
Those were the days,ph yest thise were the days

Not a city song at all then. I heard some blues trying to sing it last night with the words adapted. Thought it was odd I hadn't heard it before.

Edit: or maybe it is, just seen the latest post above. We should definitely have more references to our Kippax/ Maine Road heritage in our songs, thats for sure

To my knowledge it's never been a City song ...... i struggle to even recall Liverpool singing it ...... but i started to go to matches in 1969 , and certainly Wolves fans were singing it then ... that is 100% definite!

I stood amongst them on their hostile unsegregated terraces enough to know that!

Here's the song lyrics Wolves use .......

Song lyrics for .... Those Were The Days (Mary Hopkins)

Once upon a time there was a tavern, Where we used to raise a glass or two, or three or four!
Where we used to while away the hours,
Thinking of the things we used to do.

Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day.
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we're The Wolves, oh yes we are The Wolves!
La la la la la. La la la la La la la laaa la, la la la la...
