Early North Stand Songs

[highway61]

To the song "Marching Through Georgia" (I think).

From the banks of the river Mersey,
to the shores of Sicily.
We will fight, fight, fight for the Albion,
'til we win division three.
To hell with Aston Villa.
To hell with Notts County.
Cos we'll fight, fight, fight for the Albion,
'til we win division three.

I remember this one sung on a regular basis from when I first started watching Brighton in 1965.
We got out of the old 3rd division, (the one we're in now!) in 1972, and the song disappeared for one season! It is now consigned to oblivion.

lets udate t guys

From the grips of the **** Belloti,
to the hands of tony bloom.
We will fight, fight, fight for the Albion,
and be out of this division soon.
To hell with Crystal palace.
To hell with everyone.
Cos we'll fight, fight, fight for the Albion,
'til we win division one

Going back further in time...

Two, four, six, eight
Who do we appreciate?

Two, four, six-and-a quarter
Who are we going to slaughter?

[Brovion]

Nye, nye nye nye,
Steele is better than Yashin
Ward is better than Eusebio,
And <insert name here> are in for a thrashin'!

 

[mona]

Nye, nye nye nye,
Steele is better than Yashin
Ward is better than Eusebio,
And <insert name here> are in for a thrashin'!

Remember this being sung en route to a cup tie at Bath City in 1966 except that it was Powney and Dave Turner instead of Steele and Ward.

 

[Mackenzie]

Knees up mother brown
Knees up mother brown
top of the table we must go
E I-E-I-E-I-O

and some more words I am struggling to remember. Any one else finish it off?

OR

Knees up Brighton town
Knees up Brighton town
top of the table we must go
E I-E-I-E-I-O

When we get to Wembley
This is what we'll sing
We are champions
we are champions

Remember this being sung en route to a cup tie at Bath City in 1966 except that it was Powney and Dave Turner instead of Steele and Ward.

Yeah, I suppose it could be updated again using say, Kuipers and Murray. However I guess nowadays people would wonder who Eusebio and Yashin were!

 

[Mackenzie]

West stand give us a song,
west stand west stand give us a song

boooooooo

 

[Mackenzie]

Dance then whoever you may be,
We are the lads of Brighton FC,
And we'll lead you all,
Whoever you may be,
And we'll lead you all to victory.

Or something like that

 

[Mackenzie]

Oh Worthing town,
Is full of sh....

East Sussex La La La

 

[patcham lad]

BRIGHTON SPORTS STADIUM A LONG TIME AGO -
Come on you Tigers do your stuff ,score those goals & treat them rough. The albion team turned up most times to give support. a magic time !

 

[Mackenzie]

Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little lord Jesus sat up and he said,
We hate palace and we hate palace
We are the palace, haters.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Going back further in time...

Two, four, six, eight
Who do we appreciate?

Two, four, six-and-a quarter
Who are we going to slaughter?

They were two prominent songs on my first visit to The Goldstone.

A troop of squeaky voiced school kids on a team trip lead by Sammy Nelson, in 1990. The game ended 0-0, so we didn't slaughter anyone other than the ear drums of those around us in the South Stand.

 

[jevs]

We are eeeeeeeevil !!!

 

[raymondbriggs]

Daisy Daisy the coppers are after you
If they catch you they'll give you a month or two
They'll tie you up with wire inside a black maria
So ring your bell and pedal like hell
On a bicycle made for
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?
A L B I O N.


I think the singing started in the North Stand around 1965. That was one of the regulars.

Anyone remember others?

It was
Ginger Ginger the coppers are after you
I would have been on the fringes of the singing,as too young for the middle,but apparently Ginger was the notorious and ferocious leader of the North Stand.oh and he was reputed to be a bit of a carrot top as well.

Who's your father,
who's your father,
who's your father referee,
you ain't got one you're a bastard,
you're a bastard referee.

 

[raymondbriggs]

the best chant was Albion sung the old school way.not the al-BI-on al-Bi-on even tempo girly way sung now.
more ALB-ion ALB-ion Alb-ion AlB-ion sung at varying speeds almost like waves of sound crashing down the terrace.
sung well and sung loud it used to make the hairs on the back of my kneck stand up (as well as a grade 3 cropped hair could anyway)

 

[raymondbriggs]

and the joy of a goalkeeper near enough to chuck bangers at every november.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Chaaarrr lie
Chaaarrr lie
I'd go a million miles for one of your goals
Oh Charlie

(to the late legend Charlie Livesey)
