Philmycock Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I remember being in a pub prior to the Southend away match circa 84 and a few drunken lads were singing a tune about all the players in the team in turn, that I've never heard since, to the tune of "Deck The Halls with Boughs of Holly", kinda went like this..."Paul Kitson's got swish curtains tra, la la la la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la la, etc....Johnny Harkes, captain of America tra, la la la la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la la, etc...."Don't even remember the rest of em!!!! Any way was a top tune and sounded great, just need to ramp it uptodate!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueLou Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 If someone with better song writing talents than me can come up with some more changes to the lines below:I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.I only know I never want to let you go'Cause you started something, can't you see.Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.It happens to be true, I only want to be with Hughes.

one_chop Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I tried to start a chant but nobody joined in, I ended up sitting back down looking a right tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I tried to start a chant but nobody joined in, I ended up sitting back down looking a right tool.This is me every time. And it's half the problem. You should have told Flagman before the game and got permission from him and his mates to sing your own song. Rookie mistake.To be fair, not just him. We seem to have little clusters of guys singing their own thing, and we end up with about 10 different songs on at once. That's why groups like this help. Gives the south stand idea some cohesion and unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Need to belt all the classics out and just fill the gaps with new, silly, funny ones. I can see this group working, I'd love to move to the SS but I like my seat too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Think it would be better as a 'page' personally.I know it doesn't make much difference but all the big pages are those you can 'like' as opposed to groups you join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
