Listen and Look – pictures and sound
Put on the bobble hat and scarf your nanna knitted,
That your uncle wore and then passed on to you.
Let’s keep the faith of all our mams and dads.
Let’s share their hope, renew the trust
Of those who have filled these seats
Or owned their space on terraces of old.
Let us be one with all who have gone before,
With those that knew worse and better days than these,
Who kept the dream alive for us and those to come.
Let us remember who and what we are
And why we come here.
Let us be one together, with and behind
Those men on the park.
Let one great voice resound
To remind them of what this place is all about.
Let those boys feel that noise – let it spur them on
As we stamp a Town tattoo on these old boards,
Feeding the echo of a century of voices, hands and feet.
Clap clap
Clap clap clap clap clap
Fisssssshhhh!
Let Harrys be inflated.
Let the Town come steaming in.
Let us be one in heart
For we are are the pulse and lifeblood
Of all that’ s been held dear
For a hundred years and more in this place.
Let us reserve our place for future glory and joy.
Let us be one together when that time comes again
For us to humble the greatest sides of the day:-
Liverpool, Everton, Spurs and Villa, whoever.
Let us keep faith with the shirt.
Let us stay true to stripes that never fade.
Follow the shirt.
Believe and hope in the future of the shirt.
Let legends be born and remembered.
Let myths endure.
Let history be made.
Let us be one.
Let us be one in remembering those
that have answered their country’s call;
Bestall and Betmead, Waters and Scott,
Glover, Lewis and Coyne
Enhua and Bonetti.
And those that gave their lives;
Sid Wheelhouse, Harry Springthorpe, Ralph Thompson.
Let’s talk together of Jack and Ginger and Jim;
Of all of the Kevins and Clives;
Of Terry and Tony and Matt,
Harry and Nigel, Macca and Danny and Charlie and George,
Cockers and Fuch, Dizzer and Podge, Omar and Jamma, Nathan and Sean.
Let us be one with those that have travelled the land
To Anfield, Goodison, Wimbledon,
Braintree, Coventry, Old Trafford and Leeds Road,
Donny and Hull, Scunny and Sincil Bank,
Cardiff and Wembley over and over again – again and again
Again and again and again.
Let us be one.
