Boys in the old Brighton blue

[Drumstick]

Does anyone have the lyrics to the song released in 83

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Good news : I've got the single
Bad news : no record player

Surely we can do it between us...?

I'll get things started with a first draft...

We are the boys in the white and the blue
Football's the game
Brighton's our name
We are the boys who'll be out there for you
The boys in the old Brighton blue

Here we go on our way to Wembley Way
Fighting hard for our place on that day
For the pride of our town down by the sea
We'll do
Our best
To bring a vic-tory

For, we are the boys in the white and the blue
Football's the game
Brighton's our name
We are the boys who'll be out there for you
The boys in the old Brighton blue

How about the lyrics to 'In Brighton'? Anyone? That'd be awesome.

Brilliant. Those lyrics were written by Lancing College old boy Sir Tim Rice.

Fantastic thanks!

No it was shocking, as was the goldstone rap.

I love to hear than one man bad thing again though, released in the 70s.

Haven't heard that for years.

That is brilliant...unquestionably top of the, erm, THREE Albion-related pieces of music ever released: a very catchy tune.

Whatever happened to one man bands anyway? They were kazoo-tastic.

The one man band in question was Brighton busker, Ted Young. Song was, as you'd expect, called Seagulls. A few of us would belt it out after a few sherrys on selected occasions. As I remember it went...."We've hung around this league too long, we're too good and we're too strong, we're moving yeah come on the lads get moving. Places to go, teams to beat, look at that football ain't it neat....Seagulls flying high, Seagulls fill the skies, oh my my lovely Seagulls fill the skies.
We are the boys in White and Blue, when it comes to points we're having two, we're moving ..... (and so it goes on!)

Excellent, that's the one. Cracking tune.

Although having just listened again to the seminal and (pardon the pun) ground-breaking Goldstone Rap, I'll put those two joint top...

 

[Medwayseagull]

Yeah that'd be great thanks.

Back earlier than I thought so here goes -

CHORUS -COME ON YOU SEAGULLS WE'LL FOLLOW YOU
COME ON YOU SEAGULLS WE'LL SEE YOU THROUGH
COME ON YOU SEAGULLS WE'LL FOLLOW YOU
THE BOYS IN THE OLD BRIGHTON BLUE

FOOTBALL'S OUR GAME, BRIGHTON'S OUR NAME
WE ARE THE TEAM WHO'LL BE OUT THERE FOR YOU
THE BOYS IN THE OLD BRIGHTON BLUE

VERSE 2 - HERE WE ARE ON THE RAOD TO WEMBLEY WAY
FIGHTING HARD FOR OUR PLACE ON THAT DAY
FOR THE PRIDE OF OUR TOWN DOWN BY THE SEA
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO BRING THEM VICTORY

FOOTBALL'S OUR GAME, BRIGHTON'S OUR NAME
FOLLOW THE FLAG WE'LL BE FLYING FOR YOU
THE BOYS IN THE OLD BRIGHTON BLUE

REPRISE CHORUS

VERSE 4 - AS WE GO ON OUR WAY TO MEET THE BEST
ONCE AGAIN WE'LL BE PUT TO THE TEST
BUT WE'LL PLAY LIKE WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO
WE WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL THE GAME IS THROUGH

FOOTBALL'S OUR GAME, BRIGHTON'S OUR NAME
