BatRam Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Iāve posted on here before about being in a rock band and I thought it would be cool to set myself a writing exercise to write a song/poem about derby county. Iām not a fan of naming players , mentioning penisās or swearing in my tunes š¤£ so Iv not nicked anything from our actual songs.Ā iv tried to make it so upon hearing/reading it you wonāt necessarily Ā know itās about derby unless the title gave it away. more about the fans in their thousands living and breathing derby county football club. The bottom bit will probably be worked into a chorus as itās repetitive and easy to sing š Ā By all means critique it , decipher it I donāt mind š¤£ Edited April 14 by BatRam Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickPFC Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 50 Years of Feeling Blue. Ā 50 years, can that be right? Since ā69 under bright floodlights Fratton ParkĀ on a Friday night, Five decades of blue and white. Clear still the details of that first game, The sights and sounds, the playersā names, Milkins, Harris, Ley and Pack, Hiron, McCann in the attack. We ran on the pitch to TVās āPower Gameā theme, The first live match Iād ever seen, We lost 2-1, as we left my brother, Thought I wouldnāt want to see another. But something about the Milton End, Made me feel as if Iād found new friends, A voice it spoke from deep inside, This clubās for me. Heavenās Light my Guide. The 70s well, they werenāt so great, Performances that were hard to take, Relegation hurt, mixed with relief, Perhaps a merciful release. Regroup, rebuild and start again, Unaware about the coming pain, SOSĀ Pompey, donating all loose change, Thrown on the pitch to save Pompeyās name, Against all odds we just survived, In division four, our trade we plied, Slowly, surely we made our way, Back to where we are today. In 2008 we won the cup, Were relegated then came back up, On one hand it seemed that business boomed. On the other well, our clubās closure loomed , Football is a never ending story, Triumph, disaster just transitory. When asked why follow PFC I shrug, And say itās just the Pompey bug, But what if I had missed that game, Would my life have been the same? With no oligarchs and no fake sheiks, No terrible strikers and defensive mistakes. No expensive ride up Harryās garden path, And dumped there broke, well you had to laugh, They say that lifeās a rollercoaster, But is this the way that lifeās supposed to, Treat you as a loyal fan, In coaches, cars and hired vans, 500 mile round journeys from your house, Rollercoaster? Yeah, Southseaās āWild Mouseā. Of course life wouldnāt have been the same, Without Pompey, Fratton, and that Bury game, The ups the downs, home and away, Theyāve made me what I am today. Finger nails bitten down to the wrist, Broke, depressed, a pessimist! Yet I wouldnāt have it any other way, So Play Up Pompey, Pompey Play, Up forever and every day.
