Old Longside song.....anyone remember?

Post by Bop » Tue Sep 24, 2019 9:44 pm

Sorry if I’ve asked this before, but can anyone remember the song that contained....
“And when they come - we shall not run”
“And do they smell - like ******* hell”

Cant for the life of me remember where it came from. Was it on the fast clapping bit of YNWA?

Thank you.

Was it to the tune of Distant Drums - sung as Distant Bums?

More like an old cricket-field end song.
Bits I remember..... (As mentioned, Jim Reeves popular tune)......

I hear the sound.... of distant bums
Over there, over there (make gestures towards away fans)
And do they smell?
Like f****** hell

Who can remember this golde oldie from the cricket field end?
Sang to the tune of Just like Eddie by Heinz .

Whenever the Clarets are playing
In league or up,We 'll fight like phook
To keep the a Clarets flag flying..

Remember at school football games we had to sing the radio edit version so as not to get in trouble:

Over there, over there
And do they smell ...

The song was:
I hear the sound of distant bums
Over there, over,
And do they smell, like f.cking hell,
Over there, over there.
To the tune of Jim Reeves Distant Drums.
I don't remember it being sung on the Cricketfield End terraces, though I clearly remember it being sung when we had the fence and nets separating the home fans and the away fans.

Longside songs from the late 60's / early 70's

Six foot two, eyes of blue...

Tiptoe through the longside...

We don't carry bottles...

He's here, he's there...
(We're not allowed to swear)

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly...

If I had the wings of an angel...

Celtic, Rangers, Celtic, Rangers...
(I never understood that one until informed that it was Catholics v Protestants)

Any others?

But Burnley are the team we all adore!

Makes you wonder what has gone on in the CFS last season or so . Seemed to start ok with a bit of early racket but later last season and this is beyond dire . It’s s shame that even staples like “Lancashire homes” “ keep the claret flag flying “ etc are becoming a rarity . The ground really needs the “ singers “ in the long side do you get the ripple running down the ground rather than that isolated CFS pocket .

Daisy daisy, give me your answer do,
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you,
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for,
2,4,6,8,
Who do we appreciate ?
B-U-R-N-L-E-Y,
Burnley.

When your smiling(I know it should be you're)
When your smiling, the whole world smiles with you
When your laughing, when your laughing
The sun comes shining through
But when your crying, you bring on the rain
So stop your crying be happy again
So when your smiling, when your smiling
THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU, NA NA NA NAH NAH (repeat)

Minutes pause

I know that we have wandered off piste on this one but maybe that's OK as it gives us a chance to look back and think about the brilliant times that being a football fan has given us. From 1963 onwards, I was taking my young cousin to matches ( I was 14 and he was 11). We went on the corporation bus from Haslingden and having been released from the yoke of adult supervision, headed for behind the CF end goal, then, the rowdiest part of the ground. All the way there we discussed which songs would be sung by the older lads. I wonder if anyone remembers this one:
Aye aye aye aye
Thomson is better than Yashin.
Harris is better than Eusebio
And Stoke are in for a thrashing!
This was sung to the tune of Alma Cogan's 1957 hit "You, me and us".

Yer better ferk off home

We're on the march with Harry's army,
we're going to division one,
and we'll really shake em up, when we win the F.A. cup,
cos Burnley are the greatest football team.



Under Harry Potts management, unfortunely we didn't win the F.A. cup or get promoted that year.
