1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I am the Dyche man
I have a big statement to bring
I am the Dyche man
It will be… interesting

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I’ll say it very gruffly
and I’m keeping it all real
I walk a line, I talk a line.
This group has a good feel

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 For what we are trying to achieve
there are some really good signs
the team, the town, the board, the fans,
everything’s aligned.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I’m guilty yes I’m greedy
but I’d suggest it’s a good greed.
I don’t over-think results
but wins are what we need.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The framework’s there, the markers
the mantra in the group
the signs of that are massive
our mentality won’t droop.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 We’ve got spirit, we’ve good energy
we’re relentless, limitless
we’re resilient and we’re honest
but we’re free to self-express.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Another really big statement
of what this group’s about
we’ve built an amazing mentality
of that there is no doubt.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 It’s a really pleasing aspect
from near the top of the tree
I’m weirdly delighted
But it’s far from all about me.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 The past can’t make the future
That’s down to the group
You know I’ll never say this
but hell, we’re going up.

Notes

For Sean Dyche, on with taking Burnley to the promised land. And (like Stan before him) he has a way with a ‘saying’ too.
