The Reds are down the pub with Rafa
The pub with Rafa the pub with Rafa
The Reds are down the pub with Rafa
He’s Bosphorus He’s Sound!

Jamie’s Dad is down the pub with them
Down the pub with them down the pub […]

There was a party
At St Peter’s church Woolton
25th May 2005
Just a few friends gathered there
Nothin’ fancy mind
The little group they watched the Reds
On a portable TV
The days before the Sky dropped down
And […]

Magnificent 5
Now the jewel in the crown
When the silver is shining like gold
Conquer Europe 5 times
And “arl big ears” is yours
You can keep it, and make it your own!

“We will give you the moon
On a plate made of gold
We will wrap up the oceans and seas
A rainbow or two with a bright silver bow
And the wealth of the world all for free
Fortune and fame those twin sisters of […]

They’ve got Picasso in there
Geometric masterpieces
But his angles weren’t as
Precise as Dalglish’s
There’s a Matisse
But his masterful strokes
Couldn’t coax colours like Xabi’s boots
There’s a Henry Moore
But we […]

From the city of sailors and dreamers of dreams
Came a journey of heroes to the shores of the East
I thought I’d seen everything Anfield to Rome
Welcomed the world to our Liverpool home

Saw Sir Bob Paisley build […]

The Kop in heaven heaving
With the Reds of 89
Our brothers and our sisters
Forever in our hearts and minds

With them Shankly Bob and Fagan
Stubbins led them all in song
Billy Liddell he knew all the words
Singin’ […]

With their legs shot to pieces
And turning to stone
They picked up our dreams
Now they won’t walk alone

From the terrace our passion
Burst forth from each heart
And it fired up our warriors
Down on that […]

Me Grandad he had ’65
Me Dad had ’77
Now I’ve the Bul 2005
Me European heaven

I’ve gathered with the Redmen
Besides the shores of heaven’s seas
And I looked across those golden sands
Where me Father waved at […]

The Red Sea rose from Liverpool and it forged a path of gold
Byzantium saluted and the Romans from their sleep they rose
The Kop marched in their thousands pounding dreams in their hearts
And they walked on […]

Big Sam has booked a Kiss ‘o’ gram
And the Reebok is aglow
He’s told the lads he’s got a treat
Someone new to show
The music starts they hit the lights
The stadium it rocks
Then a plaintive voice
Calls from the […]

Silent bricks the stones are mute
Their stories sealed within
Eternal mortar whose tales unknown
And never told again

These streets they carry history
Within each human step
And worn out shoes and broken […]

All those years of what will be
And what really came to pass
The times I knew just really knew
My chance had come at last

The winning goals I dreamed I’d score
The foot the slipper wore
The key that opened […]

Liverpool Fc is a club we’re told
That has no country
So we’ve no seeded protection
Well what’s bloody new about that ?
All these years of “otherness” and “le difference”
It’s official now like
And me
Well
I’m […]

Lattaf fleet of foot
Le Foot Les Bleus
Perhaps not yet as famous
As Henry or flamboyant as Platini
But angles are there to be mastered
And with Pichon guiding
Goals will come
Naturellement.

Didi’s broken foot will heal
Quicker than Maldini’s broken heart
He ripped the soul from AC Milan
Then tore the defences all apart
Crazy Horse went mental
And in heaven smiled at Bill
Whilst Bob he passed on Holy […]

50,000 kopites on the road to Istanbul
The Ataturk a Red Sea for the “special ones” had come
Beneath the dreams of glory and the skies of destiny
The Lord looked down in wonder breathed “The Reds the team for m […]

“There are miracles!” gasped Moses, “In Istanbul they say,
A sight to warm the coldest heart the 25th of May
The glory that was Rome brought home to Liverpool this day
The Reds crowned Kings of Europe on the 25th […]

Sleeps gone out the window
And revise? yeah….not a hope
Me retro shirts are out the wash
Christ how will I cope?

North End in the playoff finals
So me lads are just as bad
Superstition rules our house
The world […]

The final leg of the journey
The silvers stars they shine
Whilst history she waves to us
Across the sands of time

The songs rise up and fill the air
The banners all been made
Suitcases full to Istanbul
By cars […]
