The Green Green Grass of Home
The Green Green Grass of Home
After the Arsenal manager's comments about the pitch perhaps we could change some of the lyrics and have this as an anthem / song. Similar to the the anti football chant (Luiz) but with a bit more about it.
The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak
Again I touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home
The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak
Again I touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home

When I saw the header of the thread all I could think about was "Boycie and Marlene" from OFaH in "Geeen Green Grass"

Send it to the Club they may oblige given the grass tweet.

Re: The Green Green Grass of Home
And they all come to Burnley
See the lengthy grass, whinge and leave
They just can't handle our dyche and woan.
Or for the last line....
Thata why we love, the turf moor as our home.

If we are singing grass....
This is the one! Just the chorus!
https://youtu.be/Q7oUwPIWCYI
I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

Re: The Green Green Grass of Home
Showing my age.here but back in the 60's 'The other man's grass is always greener'by Petula Clarke.
Went something like this:
The other man's grass is always greener(longer)
The sun shines brighter on the other side(Bob Lord side)
The other man's grass is always greener(longer)
Some are lucky some are not
Just be thankful for what you've got
Tin hat at the ready.

Re: The Green Green Grass of Home
Whispering grass don't tell Arteta
That Dyche allowed the grass to grow
Don't you tell it to the trees
Cause The Gunners don't need to mow.
