Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
Can you spare one dream for me?

You wont have met me,
And you'll soon forget.
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you,
If I can fix a rendezvous,
For your dreams are all I believe.

I'm convinced that this would make a brilliant Burnley terrace anthem. We just need some lyrics...starting with a Burnley player to replace Mr. Dreamseller...

There are a lot of budding lyricists out there...I hereby challenge you to do your worst! Make it happen!

For those of you who know the song, the chorus might have to be included too...it just fits!

MEET ME ON THE LONGSIDE, WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON,
AND I'LL BE THERE, I PROMISE I'LL BE THERE etc...

robbo's been on them gurners again

Please refer to the fast singing thread
Dream on Jdrobbo.

Oh ye of such little faith...

We need something new!

I can get 120 x 7-11 year olds to sing in time (and tune) each week... I reckon I could manage to keep 17,000 home fans in check!

Get the vinyl album version and play it at 78 rpm, that should give you an idea how it might sound if we sang it.

Hey Mr Arfield where have you been ?
Tell me have you scored against the Kop,
Woody fired a goal in the Spurs shithole,
And Ward burst the net at the Bridge.

You won't have met us,
But you won't forget,
We are the Burnley Longside Claret and Blue
Lowton ,Tarks and Mee with Pope in the goal,
You won't get no points at the Turf.

Meet me on the Longside when the Clarets are coming out,
I'll be there !

Might need fine tuning when Heaton gets back .

Just a suggestion,but what about the chorus from Tubthumping ,by Chuwumbawumba. Local band,lyrics seem to fit Clarets to a tee.

But for longevity I'd suggest no players names? Or just heroes from the past?

How about

You won't have met us,
But now you won't forget,
We are the Burnley boys in Claret and Blue
We're asking you if you can fix a goal or 2
For our dreams of winning the league.

Meet us on the Longside when the lights are coming on .. We'll be there - I promise we'll be there
Even in empty stands we'll still be standing on our own .... If you have dreams - enough to shareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes, yes, yes...

This is more like it.

Good work

Oh our Longside where have you gone ..
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
Can you spare one dream for me?

......

This might help.

Bump.

Just get back "when your smiling "
Original, only ever heard us sing it and I have never heard it sung fast.

My favourite Lindisfarne song

Hey all you Longsiders, where have you been
Since ninety five, September sixteen?
We need you along just to join in this song
and to show the world (or B*st4rds!) what we mean!

Some of them don't know us, 'cos we've been away
And we know we were away for far too long
So sing it loud - we are Burnley and we're proud!
And we've got a brand new song!

Meet me on the Longside when the lights are coming on and I'll be there
I promise I'll be there!
The club is in good hands and we are loyal Burnley fans
And we have dreams again to share......

Very nice!

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I don't know the song.

Saw Lindisfarne at Nostell Priory over in Yorkshire in the early 80's supporting Jethro Tull. Other acts included The Blues Band, Wang Chung and possibly Marillion.

It has been linked in this thread twice - once in the OP

I wish more people would push this: I know its work. We just need the poetry!!!
