Oh Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that

Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

More gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout

But if you're looking for a cheap sort
Set in false anticipation
I'll be waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station

So come away, won't you come away
We could go to...
Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
Anywhere in Albion

Ahh yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song

Mmm... Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And, and the English song

But if you're looking for a cheap tart
All glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station

Now come away, wont you come away
We'll go to...
Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, NEW-CAST-LE
Oh anywhere

if you are looking for a cheap tart
don't glint with perspiration
There's a five-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Now come away (away), won't you come away

We'll go to...
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Aaa-nywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion

Always thought this had potential as a terrace chant/anthem for us, if we could change a few words around.

 

[Norman Potting]

Which song mentions an Albion 1st teamer AND his football club (previous) in the first verse??

Current or past player - you have got me thinking.

Amanda Palmer - Leeds United

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Does it count if the band's name is a team/player?

If so: St Etienne, Kaiser Chiefs, Pele, Eusebio, Junior...

Points removed as the scoreline is reversed. Hull were the away team in this fixture.

 

[Mackenzie]

Really?!

Strictly speaking no, but as its by Danny Wilson I didn't think people would mind....wrong again eh!

Edit: See also some generic crap from the Kaiser Chiefs which is wrong as well.

 

[brakespear]

Housemartins - Hull 4 London 0 lp

I'm sure that the run-out groove from my copy (and presumably everybody else s) of 'Anyone Can Make a Mistake' by The Wedding Present had 'Leeds 1 Hull 0' scratched into it.
