Dead End Street (The Kinks) ???There's a hole up in the ceiling
And the Stretford End is leaking
Matt Busby's got no money
Feeds the team on bread and honey
What are we living for?
(Clap clap)
To see United in Division Four.
Yep, that was the one. Funny thing is, there really is a hole in the ceiling at Old Trafford now, and I'm not sure whether they can afford to repair it because of all the ££££££Ss our allies the Glazers are sucking out of their club.Dead End Street (The Kinks) ???
I agree. Its actually the start of the Viking chant (from the film The Vikings - I've written about it in Manchester City Folklore) and later evolved into The Best Team In The Land and All the World. The old Ccccccciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttyyyyyyyyy would go on for ages with the initial C being held for so long until it broke into the end bit. Dead easy chant and unique to us. Created by fans in 1976-77 season.Simple one this but not many people remember it. In the mid seventies we used to sing ccciiiittttyyyy as long as we could and then start again so everyone was singing city at different times. It sounded brilliant with ten thousand blues making a racket on the Kippax.
I've always thought it could make a comeback coz it is so simple but brilliant.
Don't forget a very similar chant that started with Oooooooooooooh and ended Fucking Hell!I agree.
