Thank You For The Burnley

[JR1882]

We’re nothing special, in fact we’re a bit of a bore
If we sing you a song, you've probably heard it before
But we have a small town, a wonderful thing
And everyone listens when we start to sing
We’re so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say

Thank you for the Burnley, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the Burnley
For giving it to me

Nice one. 10/10 for effort.

[COBBLE]

Usually squirm at these but that's got a bit of resonance about it.

[The Enclosure]

That is actually excellent.However I cant imagine the lads in the singing section remembering all the words lol.
Perhaps it is something that can be displayed on the big screens until they learn it all.

[MyRightFoot]

Logging on in a long long time.. too much negativity on this messageboard for me to post regularly.. but I had to login just to say. Hope this catches on.. if I hear it on an away day I'll be sure to join in

BRAVO

[gawthorpe_view]

Slight tweak perhaps to reference the club specifically, unless of course the lyrics refer just to the town?
Still like it though.

[Tribesmen]

Positive i must say , well done .

[RingoMcCartney]

Good effort.

[Peter Loo]

Maybe there is a way of putting an appropriate melody to the words on here as well? anyone with a computer/musical bent?

[ClaretAndJew]

It's already got a melody. Just sing it in your head to the words on here.

[RingoMcCartney]

Just hope if the CFS get their hands on it they sing it at the original ABBA tempo. Instead of an indecipherable , break neck 100bpm drum n base version.

[Wile E Coyote]

might have a dopey appeal for the wine o'clock Abba musical types and Alan Carr fans.

[Stan Tastic]

I can imagine it sounding like Alan Partridge's attempts.

Oi! You leave ABBA alone. Classic music which will last forever.

[CaptainKirk]

Couldn't resist having a go at the second part:

Thank you for the Burnley, the team we're seeing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without them, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without our team and our Club who are we?
So I say thank you for the Burnley
the Bur-n-ley FC

One from Mr Pace, in about 2 weeks:

Did you think we would give up trying
to sign a new player or two?
Watch this space and they'll soon be flying
up and down the wings for you.

Can you feel it, I'm all a tremble
perhaps it's the Longsides's noise?
But I think it's that I remember
running with the Burnley boys!

I'll get me coat.

[LordBob]

Top man JR the missus is Abba mad and she does this, very well in fact, on Karaoke she's already learning the new words, love it !!

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Good effort. Won’t catch on Sadly. The days of Clever, new songs on the turf went with the terracing im afraid.

[Wile E Coyote]

the way things are going I think maybe S.O.S might be a more appropriate song.

[Bosscat]

Has this thread met its "Waterloo"

[gandhisflipflop]

the way things are going I think maybe S.O.S might be a more appropriate song.

Well it certainly wouldn’t be money money money.

[Holmeclaret]

Great effort but for me it’s still, “No one likes us and Lancashire homes” that sums up our club.

[Sozturf7]

Love it. Usually find songs on message board very dull. This is simple and yet clever.

[box_of_frogs]

Great effort, but sadly zero chance of the younger singing generations being able to do it at the right speed / tempo!

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Surely SOS would be more apt ?

[Devils_Advocate]

I just hope Dyche isnt left singing gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight come transfer deadline day

[Stayingup]

the way things are going I think maybe S.O.S might be a more appropriate song.

Or money money money isnt funny.
