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

[Falling Star]

Think it was originally a Liverpool song.

don't know if it was originally a liverpool song but the Kop lyrics were

Those were the days my friend
We took the Stretford End
We took The Shed
The North Bank, Highbury
We took the Geordies too
We come from Liverpool
We are The Kop of Liverpool FC

Obviously line 6 wouldn't necessarily mean too literally nowadays ;-)

 

[Eds]

Our version was

Those were the days my friend
We took the Stretford End
We took the Kop
The Geordies and the Shed
We were the mighty blues
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Those were the days my friend......

 

[levets]

Our version was

Those were the days my friend
We took the Stretford End
We took the Kop
The Geordies and the Shed
We were the mighty blues
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Those were the days my friend......

almost... but not right..

Those were the days my friend,
We took the Stretford End,
We took the Kop, we took the fucking lot.
We were the mighty blues, We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.

All bollocks because we never took the Stretford end or the Kop

Almost but not right
Those were the days my friend
We took the Stretford end
We took the Lever ,The Roker and the Kop
We were the mighty blues, We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.

well, not how i was singing it in the early 70's... it was the third line above..

Why would we sing we took the Roker? Sunderlands end was 'The Fullwell'.. the Roker End was the open end....
