Please, please, please can we come up with some NEW songs (Merged*4)

[Brovion]

I was at AJAX vs NEC on Saturday, just before the teams came out for the second half, the PA was playing Bob Marley - Three Little Birds, and when it got to the chorus, the music cut out and everyone in the stadium sung it SLOWLY

Sounded AMAZING, we should do it to

Singing dont worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing's gonna be alright....

Ditto West Ham at Upton Park where the PA drops out during 'Bubbles' and the crowd takes over. Surely we can do it with GOSBTS?

And Commander, yes, that is indeed a stirring song but again it's too long. We need just a stanza or two:

"Can you hear the Brighton sing?
We're the best at everything.
Except at writing songs,
Which then all the crowd can sing!"

(Which is pretty shit as I've used 'sing' twice)

Yeah I wasn't suggesting we sing the whole song. Just a verse or two, with the lyrics changed, obviously.

And I can't believe that you randonly thought of that very shortly after the suggestion was made on the FCUM board over the weekend and picked up by loads on there, one even producing a short vid.

Listen out for it in the pubs and ground on wednesday night as some of us try to get it going. Well the chorus anyway.....

I can't believe 'Do you hear the people sing' from Les Miserables has never been turned into a football song. Would be easy to adjust the lyrics and would sound fantastic sung by thousands of people

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

COMBEFERRE
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

FEUILLY
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

Oh. Weird. Although I have been saying this for ages, to anyone who would listen (not many).

 

[Danny-Boy]

How about this (especially good if sung at home games)

There's a ground that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where we wanna be.
Every game we play were closer to Withdean's end,
waited for too long, a few months and we're home again

Until tomorrow, were still Falmer bound,
Until tomorrow, we'll just keep waiting on.


There's a ground that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where we wanna be.
Every game we play, the closer to Withdean's end,
We've waited for too long, a few months and we're home again

Is this to the tune of "Homeward Bound" by Simon and Garfunkel? That could be rewritten as Falmer bound.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

To the tune of we are sailing.
'We've got Gordon, We've got Gordon, We've got Gordon, Gordon Greer.
He once played for shityy swindon, Then he saw sense, Now he's here!'

 

[redjonnyreb]

Here you are guys! short, sweet, streety and singable.........to the tune of "love will tear us apart" by Joy Division!

Gulls!
Gulls will tear you apart again!
repeat!
and keep repeating till you all get warm!!!!!!!!!
or if you don't like Gulls throw in the name of your top scorer!! Simples )
see ya weds!!!

We have created a song sheet for both FCUM and Huddersfield. We will make amendments if needs be.

Too long, dump the verse, just use the chorus.

 

[storer]

or...
'were top of the league, were top of the leaaaggguuue, thanks to gus poyet, were top of the league'

 

[storer]

or maybe start singing some of the old classics that have been forgotton and no1 joins in with.
hark now here?
if i had the wings of a sparrow?
build a bonfire?

...a song about the man that has saved us, tony bloom?

 

[warsaw]

Can't be arsed to trawl through 13 pages of thread, so prepared to be fixtured, but has anyone mentioned Rumble in Brighton by the Stray Cats as a starting point for a new song? The lyrics sound quite interesting, apart from the first verse, the chorus is decent, and you-tube video is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPshffbyYQM

Well there's the rockabilly cats with their pomps real high
Wearing black drape coats, all real gone guys
And cool skinheads with the rolled up jeans
Looking real tough and mighty mean


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.


They sew fish hooks under their collars,
Got razors in their shoes
"Go cat go" their battle cry
World War Three is starting to brew


Now, the skinheads all use black jacks
And they're looking mighty mean
They got chains wrapped around their fingers
And their heads are all shaven clean


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.


Well there ain't a man left standing,
So let's all go grab a beer
No team is a winner
So we'll see you all next year


There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.


Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight,
Rumble in Brighton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight,
Well man there ain't a Goddamn thing that the cops can do,
So line back up for a side line view
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight.

If you are going to do that, please don't call yourself an Ultra group ever again.

A Fangroup, A choir, A band. Call yourself whatever you want.

But that is not how Ultras work.

 

[Turkey]

or...
'were top of the league, were top of the leaaaggguuue, thanks to gus poyet, were top of the league'

Heh, I've actually been singing something very similar to that to myself this past week.

We're top of the league, we're top of the leeeeeeague, Brighton & Hove Albion, are top of the league.

 

[jimmypbha]

I am pretty sure that Ultras are a group of fans that support their team through thick and thin, sing songs throughout matches and are always their for their team. This idea of making a song sheet is to get all fans to sing together, to support our team. If not how do Ultras work then??

 

[Marc1901]

How about.

Ei Ei Ei o Up the football league we go and when we get promoted this is what we'll sing,
We are Brighton
We are Brighton
Gus Poyet is KING!.

I just typed a long reply and my internet went off. Bloody thing.

You don't stand there reading songs off a piece of paper.

Away games are very good at spreading a new song. If 5 or 6 of you start singing and carry on, the people around you will pick it up and start singing if it's any good. Then, it spreads throughout the crowd and then you've got 300 of you singing it.

The Holmesdale Fanatics may have looked stupid at first. With 30 of them bouncing and singing to a drum with no-one else joining in.

But then the rest of Block B joined in and then there is 450 people making a noise. You then get Block C standing up and there's a 1000 people singing a song and making a noise.

Now, we have the Fanatics starting a song and people joining in and the song spreads straight across the Holmesdale. You've got thousands of people singing new songs and bouncing to it.

Our atmosphere was dead when Peter Taylor was in charge. We lost 5000 fans. The last 3 years since the HF have grown in numbers, the atmosphere is the best i've seen there. And visiting Away grounds, the atmosphere across the Championship is dead bar a few teams. I go to Selhurst and look around, and you see kids bouncing around waving to the song. Those are the fans that this is great for. Fans that hopefully we get back when they're older.

Have the guts to start a song in a little group and it'll spread if other fans want to increase an atmosphere.

And stand up. If 500 of you are standing, they wont make you sit down. Join together as a group and refuse to sit. Stand Up if You Love Palace starts as soon as Stewards make a few fans sit down. And then they've got a lot of the ground standing and they give up.

Give it a go.
