1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Ours To Keep (five times).

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Bill Shankly was looking down from above,
Bob Paisley, and Crazy Horse too.
Three nil down at half time,
What were Rafa’s men to do?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The team went off dejected
Their moral now was low.
Could they turn the game around?
Only time alone could show,

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The twelfth man was stirring.
Singing you’ll never walk alone.
But to comeback from three nil down
In the final has not been known.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 They came out in the second half,
With a job to be done.
Something special needed.
For this game to be won.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Gerrard used every muscle he had,
Playing the captains role,
To power the ball on its way.
And score that crucial goal.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Heads now were lifted,
Belief was now restored.
A chance shot from nowhere.
And Vladimir Smicer has scored.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 A captain’s charge was halted,
As he was pulled to the ground
Alonso’s pen was saved,
But he netted the rebound.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 A Mersey dream in motion,
But a nightmare for Milan,
The reds had turned the game around,
Thanks to Rafas’ plan.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 It wasn’t quite over yet.
Extra time to play.
Enter Jersey Dudek.
The hero of the day.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 The dying minutes of the game,
A fantastic double save made.
This must surely be,
The best he’s ever played.

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 His heroics weren’t over,
As the shoot out was started
When Shevshenkos pen was saved.
Milan went home broken hearted.

13 Leave a comment on verse 13 0 The cup belongs to Liverpool now,
After the greatest comeback ever known.
We’ve won it five times,
Ours to keep, in our Anfield home.
