Songs We’ve Plagiarised Into Chants

[lazerblue]

My earliest memories, I hear the sounds of distant drums - Jim reeves

I hear the sound of distant bums
Over there, over there

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

if i had the wings of an angel
the dirty black arse of a crow
i'd fly over old trafford tomorrow
and shit on the bastards below, below
shit on, shit on,
i'd shit on the bastards below below
shit on, shit on, i'd shit on the bastards below

Sorry, but the correct words are - "if i had the wings of a sparrow, and i had the arse of a cow"...

[maccieblue]

What's that coming over the hill
Is it the tax man, for dodgy Redknapp

 

[Bluefen]

As an aside - viewing this prompted me to rewatch Being Frank - This Chris Sievey documentary/film this evening - quality viewing and a Manc legend

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Sorry, but the correct words are - "if i had the wings of a sparrow, and i had the arse of a cow"...

If I had the wings of an eagle and the big-shitting arse of a crow.

I wonder if this was the origin of the eagle on the old badge. Chortle.

Eagle wasn't in that song.

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Eagle wasn't in that song.

A cow certainly wasn’t.

If I had the wings of a sparrow
if I had the arse of a cow
I'd fly over Old Trafford tomorrow
and shit on the bastards below below

SHIT on the bastards below

(mid to late 70's)

If my memory is correct.

Think the older lot (ancient cunts) had different words in the 50'/60's Crow or summat which does rhyme better I suppose.

Nowt wrong with your memory mate. Those are the words we sang. Some other clubs sang same song with slightly different words, as mentioned earlier.

Over there, over there
