A Song

[Carwin261]

Brentford rocking with Hey Jude ,Stoke have Delilah,we need something as well as “In our Lancashire Homes”how about some practical suggestion that all the country knows ?

It sounds like we do, if the likes of you still can't get the song title right.

[Roosterbooster]

The Air That I Breathe

[conyoviejo]

We have one..

Whenever you're sad
Whenever your blue
Whenever the clarets are playing
In league or Cup we'll fight like phook
To keep the Clarets flag flying.

The Cricket field end used to rock to that in the sixties..great tune to sing to.

[fidelcastro]

I suggest something to the tune of 'No Nay Never'.

I've never understood why we've never picked this up.

[bobinho]

Jimmy Mac.

No brainier really…

[andyh]

When you’re smiling

[Claret Till I Die]

Chumbawumba

I get knocked down.....

[Beagle]

We don’t need a song, we have football chants. I cringe whenever I hear Stoke fans singing ‘Delilah’. Same with all the singing and dancing along to the PA after a win at Brentford. Give me twenty minutes of ‘We are the Longside’ over than contrived crap any day.

"In our Lancashire Home" No bloody "s"

Not a very nice comment “ The likes of you” why say that?

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

It's a well-known fact that it's a song by The Spinners about Liverpool!!!!!!!! It makes me cringe when our fans fans sing 'Lancashire home' - it's so obviously for the city with two cathedrals, dock workers etc. It's not about Lancashire!

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home

[Verse]
I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks
Me religion was Catholic, occupation hard knocks
At stealing from lorries I was adept
And under an overcoat each night we slept

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home

[Verse]
Well when I grew up, I met Bridget McGann
She says, "You're not much but I'm needin' a man"
"'Cause I want sixteen kids and a house out in Speke"
Well the spirit was willin' but the flesh it was weak

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home

Way back in the forties, the world had went mad
Mister Hitler threw at us everything that he had
When the smoke and the dust had all cleared from the air
"Thank God", said my old man, "The pier head's still there!"

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home

Goodness ,with some of the replies on here you’d think we’d just lost ,talk about pedantic,” no bloody s” you sad person.

[fidelcastro]

Not a very nice comment “ The likes of you” why say that?

Because you're not alone in making the all too common mistake.

[Bosscat]

Goodness ,with some of the replies on here you’d think we’d just lost ,talk about pedantic,” no bloody s” you sad person.

Its a joke


Perhaps a smiley would have helped

[Elizabeth]

Lancashire Home is boring as a stand alone but it seems to fit in with the other chants

[Beagle]

It's a well-known fact that it's a song by The Spinners about Liverpool!!!!!!!! It makes me cringe when our fans fans sing 'Lancashire home' - it's so obviously for the city with two cathedrals, dock workers etc. It's not about Lancashire!

But the words were changed to make it about Lancashire and Burnley, which is how football chants work. Is ‘The Wild Rover’ out of bounds because it is, in fact, not about the East Lancashire derby but a drunken Irish nomad?

[Volvoclaret]

"In our Lancashire Home" No bloody "s"

Not being pedantic Pussycat, but you live in Yorkshire.
Happy new year.

[Carwin261]

Pardon me for breathing ,but watching Sky all the commentators were saying what a brilliant atmosphere coming to Brentford,all the crowd were stopping after the match ,& all the kids,mums,& Dads were singing,5 mins at the end of the game most of the Clarets fans have left,let’s not just have the Fishwick stand singing Burn -erlee ,Burn-erlee ,let’s have an Anthem for all of us,even some of us of a certain age.

[Carwin261]

Not being pedantic Pussycat, but you live in Yorkshire.
Happy new year.

You tell him Volvo.

[Bosscat]

Not being pedantic Pussycat, but you live in Yorkshire.
Happy new year.

I always sing "In my Long Preston Home" when joining in


The song in question refers to Turf Moor which is "Our Lancashire Home" to be pedantic

[Volvoclaret]

Ahh, Long Preston, the Shadsworth of Settle.

[Zlatan]

Nice edit Bosscat was going to ask if whichnis is a yarkshire word

[Bosscat]

No idea what you're on about

[Bosscat]

Knob



Thats a term of endearment not an insult ... Ask Steve1956 for confirmation

[Volvoclaret]

I believe you BC, no bigger knob than Steve.

[Bosscat]

I believe you BC, no bigger knob than Steve.

[Volvoclaret]

Incidentally BC, drove through your place earlier today
Round trip, home to Skipton, then through LP, hung a left to Bolton by Bowland, then on to Clitheroe. Lovely run before watching match.

[jos]

let’s not just have the Fishwick stand singing Burn -erlee ,Burn-erlee

Whilst folk are being pedantic, I may as well include the mildly annoying practice of making a two syllable name or word into three syllables.

It’s Burn-ley

It’s Eng-land

Etc…

[RickyBobby]

Thought we were in for Alex Song when I saw the title

[bfcjg]

How about " you're f@cking sh1t ?

[Zlatan]

we've got one haven't we...?

Almost every tune sung at football is about something else originally. A lot used to be church hymns which I doubt were about a set of fans not singing anymore, or the referee not being fit to be there (Guide me, O thou great redeemer).

Football fans since the beginning have nicked tunes and made them their own.
