A football God dies

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
when the football used to make me smile.
It was on a trip to Goodison,
a ginger haired young ruffian
would make the people happy for a while.

If you were red he made you shiver
With every cross that he’d deliver.
Bad news for defenders;
Beauty to Street Enders….

I can remember that I cried
When in 71 he left our side,
something touched me deep inside
The day my football died.

So bye-bye, Alan tears in my eye,
This just cant be happening
A God doesn’t die.
You took us to the summit,
where we looked out on high
singing Bally greatest Everton guy..
Bally greatest Everton guy..

Did you score on your debut,
And don’t you look great in Royal Blue
Everybody tells me so?
I remember you just playing great,
A constant blur in a number 8,
making opposition look real slow?

Well, you knew that we would follow you
when you danced around their number 2
You’d always give your all
and sometimes sit on the ball!!!!

You were the icon of a royal blue age
with a world class touch and just a hint of rage
and now you’re gone you still fill the page
The day my football died.

I started singin’,
bye-bye, Alan tears in my eye,
This just cant be happening
A God doesn’t die.
You took us to the summit,
where we looked out on high
singing Bally, greatest Everton guy..
Bally, greatest Everton guy..

Well for 5 years you were on your own
the greatest player in your Royal Blue home,
and that’s just what we came to see.
A golden player in a golden team,
the catalyst inside a dream machine
Amongst cheering that came from you and me,

But then while the Cat was feeling down,
He sent you off to London Town
The glory was adjourned;
Not for ages to return.
And while many tried to take your place,
None possessed either your class or grace,
And we lamented our lost ace
The day my football died.

We started singing bye-bye, Alan tears in my eye,
This just cant be happening
A God doesn’t die.
You took us to the summit,
where we looked out on high
singing Bally greatest Everton guy..
Bally greatest Everton guy..

I met a girl who cheered the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just cried and turned away.
I went down to the football ground
and I listened for that tannoy sound,
But the man there said that Bally wouldn’t play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
supporters cried, and the players dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
St Luke’s bells must have broken.
And everyone who’d seen him play
came back together one last day,
They cheered for Alan and they’d pray
The day my football died.

And we were singing,
bye-bye, Alan tears in my eye,
This just cant be happening
A God doesn’t die.
You took us to the summit,
where we looked out on high
singing Bally greatest Everton guy..
Bally greatest Everton Guy…

We were singing,
bye-bye, Alan tears in my eye,
This just cant be happening
A God doesn’t die.
You took us to the summit,
where we looked out on high
singing Bally greatest Everton guy..

(Sung to the tune of Don Maclean’s American Pie)

I guess that’s why they call it the blues

I guess that’s why they call us the blues,
Leon Osman scoring goals for fun,
Cahill and Stubbsy,
Duncan and Beattie,
Kopites we’ll batter,
With Moyesie our gaffer

Let's Hear it For The Boys

Let's hear it for the Moyes,
Let's give the Moyes a hand,
Let's hear it for our Davy,
You know that he's the man.

Maybe he's no Mourinho,
But he's our red haired one man show,
Woo Woo Woo Woo,
Let's hear it for the Moyes.

It was 1878 st domingo liverpool

There emerged a team that was sure to rule

We helped form the league been at the top from the start

not alot of football teams can say that from the heart

from stanly park to anfield, Priory road to Goodison

and if u know ur history u know were Everton

chorus

well they painted Moyses men

the Everton blue and white

we're the pride of Mersyside the Goodison dynamite

Wat more can we say

Everton will b on there way

for were the goodison army the everton blue and white

You Should Have Seen Us Scoring

Oh the lads, you should have seen us scoring,

Simon Davies, Timmy Cahill and Mi-kel Our Tater,
Waiting for the perfect cross.....
From Andy Van Der Meyde!

The Collina Blues

Signor Collina, man, he’s done us wrong
That ref Collina, he’s sho’ done us wrong
(Must have changed the rules, man, while we've been gone)

Collina, Collina
Collina, Collina
Pierluigi Collina
Clive’s not alone!

We’d hoped Collina would ensure fair play
We’d hoped Collina would ensure fair play
Seems he had his orders, from U. E. F. A.

Collina, Collina
Collina, Collina
Pierluigi Collina
Clive loves you so

Just see Dunc’s header hit the back of the net
See Duncan’s header hit the back of the net
(This is Everton, folks, don’t start cheering yet)

Collina, Collina
Collina, Collina
Pierluigi Collina
Clive loves you so

A hand grabs Bent’s shirt, an arm’s round Ossie’s neck
A hand grabs Bent’s shirt, an arm’s round Ossie’s neck
What did they do wrong, man? Watch the tape and check!

Collina, Collina
Collina, Collina
Pierluigi Collina
Clive’s not alone!

(Tune: Corrine, Corrina)
The tune used is from a well-established folk blues number that has been recorded (with differing verse forms and lyrics) by a diverse range of artists including Muddy Waters, Merle Haggard, Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Dean Martin and even by rock 'n' rollers such as Jerry Lee Lewis.

'Clive' is a reference to a certain referee well known to Evertonians.

Keith Richmond. August, 2005


Hello

You’ve been alone with Everton inside my mind
And in your dreams you’ve touched that ball a thousand times
We sometimes see you pass outside Everton
Hello, is it Everton you want to play for again?

We can see it in your eyes
We can see it in your smile
You're all Everton ever wanted, (and) Our eyes are open wide
'Cause you know just how to play
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, We love you ...

We long to see you score a goal again
And tell you time and time again how much we care
Sometimes we feel our hearts will overflow
Rooney, we’ve just got to let you know

'Cause we wonder where you are
And we wonder what you’d do
We know you somewhere feeling lonely, Man U, don’t love you?
Tell us how to win your heart
For we haven't got a clue
But let us start by saying, We need you ...

Hello, it’s Everton you're looking for?
'Cause we wonder where you are
And we wonder what you do
We you somewhere feeling lonely, Man U don’t love you?
Tell us how to win your heart
For we haven't got a clue
But let us start by saying ... We need you

TAKE ME HOME GOODISON ROAD

Take me home, Goodison road,
To the place, I belong,
With Davey Moyes, and the blue boys,
Take me home Goodison road

Take me home, Goodison road,
To the place, I belong,
To watch Everton beat the kopites,
Take me home, Goodison road,

Take me home, Goodison road,
To the place, I belong,
To see Cahill and Arteta,
Take me home, Goodison road

Champions league we're avin a laff

Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff

Does anybody know the start of Champions league
I need to know I gotta book me holidee
we started off the season in a right old state
but finished kings of merseyside
It's fuckin great

The whole things daft
and we know why
we finished off above the shite
we finished higher than we have for years
and that's good new's lots of kopites tears

Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff

The Arsenal did us 4-1 on the opening day
to all the so called experts we were on our way
down to the championship is we're we'd play
the like of crewe & burnley,we're there to stay

The whole things daft
and we know why
Moyes'ys master plan has got us flyin high
so it wont be stoke or qpr
more like real madrid or barcelona

Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff

They've not qualified for next years comp
and rafa beneathus has got the hump
so watch out Europe we're on our way
but dont be worried cos we all behave

Champions league we're avin a laff

Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff
Champions league we're avin a laff

Tra la la lala lalala - MOYES-EY!
Tra la la lala lalala - MOYES-EY!
Tra la la lala lalala.. the Champions league awaits for me.

A new era’s dawning; we’ll be fourth on Sunday morning,

And every lonely redshite, will be eating his hat,

Every shite crying on their pillow!
Dreaming dreams of our San Siro,
And Champion’s League awaits for me…

And Champion’s League awaits for me!

Tra la la lala lalala - MOYES-EY!

Tra la la lala lalala, the Champions league awaits for me.

Gladwys Street are singing, Park End knows the joy they’re feeling,
Europe waits to greet us, doom and gloom for Rafa Beneathus,
Just beyond the M6, on through France and Spain,
Every Toffee knows it – IT’S EVERTON’S TIME AGAI–AIN!!

Is this the way to our San Siro?
Every shite is crying on their pillow!
Dreaming dreams of our San Siro,
And Champion’s League awaits for me…

Show me the way to Our San Siro,
Kopites weeping beat them one-nil-OH!
Crying coz it’s our San Siro,
And Champion’s League awaits for me!

Something Only We Know

I looked across, the Park End Stand
I knew the Street End like the back of my hand
I made my way towards my seat
Sat in my number and it made me complete

Oh Everton, what have you done?
You're like a drug that I have come to rely on
Get such a high every time we win
But when we lose a slight depression will set in

I gaze across, what do I see
A packed Main Stand it looks tremendous to me
This is the place that we all love
This is the place we've all been dreaming of

Oh Everton what have you done?
You're like a drug that I have come to rely on
Get such a high every time we win
But when we lose a slight depression will set in

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Feel just what it is like to be a Blue Nose
Everton, well they mean everything
So why do we go
It's something only we know
Something only we know

Oh Everton what have you done?
You're like a drug that I have come to rely on
Get such a high every time we win
But when we lose a slight depression will set in

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Feel just what it is like to be a Blue Nose
Everton well they mean everything
So why do we go?
So why do we go?

aaaaaaaa.... ooooooo......

Everton well they mean everything
So why do we go
It's something only we know
Something only we know?
Something only we know?

“We’re all going on a European Tour”
(to the tune of 'yellow submarine' Obviously)

In the Ground, where dreams are born,
Lives the greatest football team;
Every game you’ll hear the roar
Evertonians love their team!

And we’ll sail off to the sun,
On a ferry dressed in blue,
As we dance upon the waves,
Will our greatest dream come true?

We’re all going on a European Tour,
A European tour,A European tour!
We’re all going on a European Tour,
A European tour,A European tour!

With our friends we’re all abroad,
To have a party, you and me
And when the team comes out to play....

(Z Cars plays in the background.....)

We’re all going on a European Tour,
A European tour, a European tour!
We’re all going on a European Tour,
A European tour, a European tour!

And we’ll win the cup with ease,
Because our twelth man is all they need (all they need),
Boys in blue (boys in blue), live the dream (live the dream)
We all follow (we all follow) the Greatest team! (Greatest team!!)

We’re all going on a European Tour,
A European tour, a European tour!
We’re all going on a European Tour,

Your'e Beautiful

Thought we were brilliant, we were so poor
I saw brett angell, and jo max moore
We smiled at them from the gwladys, they were with another man,
it might have been Stuart Barlow, or gavin mcann

We were so sh1t, we were so sh1t, we were so poor its true
But we still sat in pain
In the pouring rain,
To watch the boys in blue
Its just what we had to do

But now its different, and things have changed
I see Arteta, shoot from long range
AJ and beattie,
Timmy will take on all that come
Lets have it this season lads
Nil satis nisi optimum

(Sung to: You've Beautiful By Blunt)

Forwards Few
(aka The Transfer Window Bossa Nova)

Forwards few but full-backs a-plenty
Including one called Nuno Valente
We‘re glad he’s come, now we need someone who’ll……score

So few goals, it can be quite stressing
For the fans when opponents are pressing
It’s no joke and we’ll need a bloke who’ll get…...more

Now, though they don’t play too badly
We fear it could all go so wrong
Oh, how it could end so sadly
But we hope injuries do not accrue
And that somehow they’ll muddle through

Clock ticks on, the ‘window’ is ending
But will there be some last-minute spending?
And when it passes, we’ll shrug - but that’s nothing new (being a Blue)

(Tune: The Girl From Ipanema)

I'M THE RELEGATOR

I'm the moyesenator, championship instigator
I'm the Everton addicted, fear illustrated
Were the relegated, twisted relegated
I'm the team you rated, crap infatuated
Yeah I'm the shite you tasted, tacticlly capitulated
Your the relegated, twisted relegator
I'm the poor performance, team annihalator
I'm the confidence infected, twisted player slater
I'm the relegator, twisted relegator
I'm the relegator, twisted relegator ...gatorrr...gatorrr....gatorrrr

Said a Father to his son
"Young Blue Boys time has come"
Those Kopites are marching again
Send them back from where they came
and with United, we'll do the same
and a proud evertonian father I shall be


Verse
Remember our Fathers Brave and Bold
Who fought down County Road, with flag held high
From the days of Dixie Dean, Alan Ball and Peter Reid
We will fight to keep our blue dreams alive


As we march through Walton's streets
and can still hear my Father
Talking of the greats in glory days gone by
They wore the blue shirt with pride
and like our fathers fought and died
as evertonians from our blue merseyside


Repeat verse

(Sung to the tune "Fields of Athenry")

European Tour2

It was 1985
When the blue boys came alive
We beat everyone at home
and Europe was our goal,
But the red shite could not score
So they had to push a wall

WERE NOT GOIN ON A EUROPEAN TOUR
A EUROPEAN TOUR
A EUROPEAN TOUR
WERE NOT GOIN ON A EUROPIAN TOUR
AN EVAN IF WE DID
WE WOULDN'T PUSH A WALL

Now it 2005
and the blues are still alive
We've beat the shite at home
and Europes still are goal,
Now the red shite still can't score
But they havn't got a wall

WERE ALL GOIN ON A EUROPEAN TOUR
A EUROPEAN TOUR
A EUROPEAN TOUR
WERE ALL GOIN ON A EUROPEAN TOUR
AN EVAN WHEN WE DO
WE WON'T BE PUSHIN WALLS

YOU'RE IN MY HEART
( Rod Stewart & EDSA )

I didn't know what day it was
when I walked in, to the ground
I shouted hello &, here we go
It was the warmest, feelin I’ve found

Breezing through, the clientele
spinning yarns that were, so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction, was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were, hard to accept
Your fashion sense &, Moyesy prints
I put down to experience

A fat Kopite, with a Dutch accent
he tried to change my, point of view
His ad lib lines were, well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you

Chorus:
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You be my breath, should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you, is immeasurable
My respect for you, immense
You're ageless, timeless, grace & fineness
You're beauty and, elegance

You're my harmony, my EFC
You're a beauty, when you play
You're every love, that had to be
That’s how much, you mean to me.

(Chorus)
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You be my breath, should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay, in glamour
Please pardon, the grammar
but you're every, schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby, I've decided
You're the best team, I've ever seen

And there have been, many affairs
Many times I've, thought to leave
But I bite my lip and, turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing, I've ever found

(Chorus)
You're in my heart, you're in my soul

(Chorus) + (Chorus) + (Chorus)


Confounding The Pundits

Who do they think they are kidding,
all those pundits When they write off Everton?
They thought we Blues would lie down and quietly die
But very soon they'll be eating humble pie
'Cos who do they think they are kidding, all those pundits
When they said the Blues are done?

Mister Moyes has got the boys all playing rather well
If that annoys some 'experts' they can simply go to hell

Tim Cahill, he fits the bill, and Bent's not bad at all
And there's Leon who turns it on each time he has the ball

So who do they think they are kidding, all those pundits
When they write off Everton?
We don't care much, then, for all that media spin
Next week those papers will line the rubbish bin
'Cos who do they think they are kidding, all those pundits
When they said the Blues are done?

Mister Green is pretty mean, some folks are hard to please
'Cos we're not rich, we don't wear red, we've no celebrities

But our team, so it would seem, is in there with a shout
Some don't believe and can't conceive just what we are about

So watch out all you pundits, yes, you think you know it all
Everton's the People's Club, it's not really quite that small

And how can we lose when we know we've got Lee Carsley?
How on earth could we go down?

(Tune: Who Do You Think You Are Kidding, Mister Hitler?)

Keith Richmond. December, 2004.


Inspired by Eleanor Rigby

Our chairman, Bill Kenwright, sitting alone in his office at Goodison Park
He's up with the larks.
Frantically searching. Looking for someone with buckets of cash to invest.
He's not gonna rest.

All the rich investors, oh where have they all gone.
A millionaire with blue blood.
There must be at least one.

The Derby fan, Dunford. Thinking of all of Bills phone calls and letters he laughs.
He thinks that Bill's daft.
Commercial Director? A glorified office boy, fluked his way up to the top.
And he ain't gonna stop.

Waste of time Mike Dunford.
Why don't you just do one.
You're a waste of time Mike Dunford.
Why don't you just do one

(Sung to The Beatles tune "Eleanor Rigby")

Sept 03 - Matt Atkinson


As part of Everton's 100th season in the top flight celebrations, the club have launched a single.
No Other Team / The Everton Anthem
No Other Team

St. Domingo's FC, was what we use to be,
Our first match, eighteem seventy-nine.
Yeah we won that game, and though we change our name,
Our skills not diminished with time.
No, no other team,
Have for one hundred years reigned supreme,
We're the first in the game, to have that claim to
fame,
No, there really is no other team.

Stanley Park was the ground,
Where the birthplace is found,
Priory Road where we first made our mark,
Then to old Mere Green Field,
Where our future was sealed,
'Cos today it's called Goodison Park.

No, no other team
have for one hundred years reigned supreme,
We're the first club you see, to make one centrury,
And there really is no other team.

In five FA Cups we have triumphed.
Nine times League Championships won,
The Blue and White Army are on the march,
Come on now you Everton.

No, no other team
Has legends like Lawton and Dean,
Harvey, Kendall and Ball,
Alex Young and, yes all,
Of the greats that have come in between,
There really is no other team.


Johnny Todd with words

Verse One

Founded at the dawn of football
St Domingo's was our name
From Stanley Park we moved to Anfield
Then settled down on Mere Green Lane


Verse two

Goodison Park it was erected
4 tall stands in white in blue
it's been our home for more than 5 score years
filled to brim with fans so true

Verse three

Oh what legends, oh what history
Witnessed there by one and all
Dixie Dean, Lawton, Southall, Hickson,
Kendall, Harvey and Alan Ball

Verse four

They've come from England, Scotland, Ireland
They've come from Wales and Ulster too
From near to home and far off distant shorelines
The Toffemen who've worn royal blue

Verse five

For those of you who who've had no schooling
Of the scientific kind, let us translate
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
"Everton forever great"

Verse six

Now the time it's come to move on
Dear old Goodison's to be no more
Come and join us down at the King's Dock Stadium
Standing by the Mersey shore

And I guess that's why they call us the blues
with David Moyes, you know we`ll never lose
We love Wayne Rooney
We love Bill Kenwright
We hate the redshite
And I guess that's why they call us the blues.
