Ok - Let's come up with a brand new & original Albion song

[Brighton Breezy]

This lad - YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

It's slow, melodic, the original lyrics already mention sea etc. Nice

Exactly. Sung really slowly it would be ace.

 

[strings]

Ruby by Kaiser Cheifs could easily be made into a cracking tune?

As it was by Donny, Donny, Donny, Donny, la-la-ah-ah-ah

 

[dannyboy]

said it before but still think the littlest hobo would work really well

 

[The Large One]

Exactly. Sung really slowly it would be ace.

We can't even get our own tune sung slowly...

 

[somerset]

Exactly. Sung really slowly it would be ace.

.... and exactly when do you visualise anything sung slowly in the North Stand?...... chipmunks on speed remember,..... a la GOSBTS

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I remember starting a thread about it. The words are PERFECT for our recent history:

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

Down this road, that never seems to end
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

(Instrumental Break)

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,

We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long
We're almost there and we've paid our fare with the hobo song

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam

 

[Brighton Breezy]

We could even sing the Spanish version for Calde...

Una voz.. me llama cada vez
Por mi camino.. allí siempre estaré

Donde quiera que voy.. un amigo haré
Misión cumplida, te das la vuelta, y me fui otra vez

Tal vez mañana.. ya mi vida asentaré
Hasta mañana.. mi camino seguiré

Si me quieres acompañar.. por un día o dos
Ponte tu gorra, camisa, un short.. así soy yo

Tal vez mañana.. ya llegue a ese lugar
Hasta mañana.. seguiré mi caminar
Hasta mañana.. el mundo es mi hogar..

 

[somerset]

are you mad Walt..... most of these guys struggle to remember the correct words for GOSBTS, how the hell will they absorb that lot.........?

 

[algie]

Im sure something could work with Boomtown Rats - don't like Mondays

Tell me why

I don't like Palace

Tell me why

I don't like Palace

 

[algie]

I actually think that the "new" north stand chant sounded superb, but as an alternative I thought the "Over the Rainbow" version at "Brighton 'til I die" with the following (slightly amended) lines would be brilliant:-

"Somewhere over the Amex
Seagulls fly
And I know that forever
I'm Brighton 'til I die"

I like this.

 

[clarkey]

Surely Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs is best for Nooney. I know its used by other clubs, but works pretty well.

exactly would be perfect. its quite a nice little tune too. maybe just the first verse though.

fits in so well with the fight for falmer , withdean ,gillingham etc

 

[Hotchilidog]

Pretty sure i've seen...

"That's the way
Lua Lua
I like it,
Lua Lua"
suggested somewhere before.

Would great after a kaz goal or assist.

 

[The Large One]

He's a Brighton right-back and he's got a beard
Calderon-ron-ron, Calderon-ron
He dances like a meerkat and his voice is weird
Calderon-ron-ron, Calderon-ron

Yeah - don't ever ask
Yeah - he's the greatest Basque
Yeah - when he scores a goal
Calderon-ron-ron, Calderon-ron


Next.

 

[seagullondon]

best one yet i think has to ny suggestion i just ingeniously came up with. ELton will be on the phone asking me to write his songs soon

The wheels on the gus bus go round and round.
Round and Round. Round and Round.
Gus's Army goes up and up.
Up and Up. Up and Up.
Lua Lua flips round and round.

ALL DAY LONG.

 

[Brovion]

are you mad Walt..... most of these guys struggle to remember the correct words for GOSBTS, how the hell will they absorb that lot.........?

Absolutely! Some of the suggestions I've seen in the past (not on this thread) have been verse, chorus, verse, chorus, middle eight, etc. You need four or six different lines at the most (repitition is ok), any more than that and we'll all have to stay behind afterwards for choir practice.

Im sure something could work with Boomtown Rats - don't like Mondays

Tell me why

I don't like Palace

Tell me why

I don't like Palace

We used to sing that! Only we'd alter the words to whoever we were playing:

Tell me why, I don't like [whoever] x 3
I wanna shoo -oo - oo - oo - oo - oot,
The bastards down!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again

Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,
We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long
We're almost there and we've paid our fare with our hobo song

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home

ALBION

"it's fun to play at the
A-M-E-X
It's fun to play at the A-M-E-X
you can have good beer
you can watch Gordon Greer
you can cheer on all our boys! etc"

Am now leaving to get coat.....

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Now I don't know the history of this one, or who sung it first, but its another one from my time in Sydney:

"Sydney, oh Sydney, oh Sydney, said I
I will stand at Moore Park, till the day I die
Take me to the harbour, way down by the sea
And I will follow Sydney, Sydney FC"

Could easily be changed to

Brighton, oh Brighton, oh Brighton said I
I will stand at Falmer, till the day I die
take me down the south coast, way down by the sea
and I will follow Brighton & Hove Albion FC...
