New Original Saints Songs Wanted !!
New Original Saints Songs Wanted !!
Friday, 13th Dec 2013 11:09

Im getting fed up with hearing the same old songs week in week out at St Mary's its time we made up a few original songs.

Don't get me wrong im not slating anyone who sits/stands in the Northam/ Kingsland corner, on my travels this season or last in the Premier League I have rarely come across a club with a singing section as vocal or as big as ours, in some grounds you cant tell where their vocal fans are in some cases, from that point of view we can hold ourselves up against anyone in the country, including some of the so called big clubs.

But the dissapointment for me is the lack of original material, most of the songs belted out have been plagiarised from other clubs, you can slag off Manchester United fans for not coming from Manchester or even for the manufactured atmosphere at Old Trafford, one of the things that you cant slate them for though is the reppetoire of ditty's their travelling support will belt out with gusto.

Likewise Liverpool, apart from the obvious You'll Never Walk Alone they also have "Scouser Tommie" a song sung for nigh on 40 years now and the more recent Fields of Anfield Road" the tune stolen from Celtic but the lyrics most definately Liverpool.

I would suggst that anyone who is not familiar with the above songs cant really consider themselves an expert on football songs.

But it isnt just the Northern teams that get in on the act, West Ham & Chelsea in the capital also have an array of songs that put our "We are the Kingsland over here" to shame.

We have the numbers, we have the noise, all we need now is a few witty and quick thinking individuals to come up with some original Southampton themed lyrics to popular tunes.

Surely there are those out there that can do that and i dont just mean changing the odd word or two to suit ourselves, something truly unique and individual to our great club.

We have a headstart on the others in the fact that we already have our anthem but lets start to diversify from the norm, everyone sings most of our repetoire if its not Cortese whoah, it something else at virtually every other club.

There is much talk of the Southampton Way and that needs to be off the field as well, lets show that Saints fans are a different breed from other Premier Clubs

One thing that makes me proud to be a Saints fan is bizarrely when we fall behind.

There is the inevitable 5-10 seconds of shock, and then a low refrain of When the Saints starts swelling from the Northam and spreads through the Kingsland and Chapel stands. Rather than quickly accelerating to the fast paced clapping section then it stays low and slow, repeating over and over. It is such a call to arms, for the whole stadium and team to collectively rally.

That gives me goosebumps every time.

"The Bells of St. Mary's" is a 1917 popular song. The music was written by A. Emmett Adams, the lyrics[1] by Douglas Furber, following a visit to St. Mary's Church, Southampton, England.[2]

There may be scope with this one but we'd need to sing it faster than Bing Crosby


How about:
The Saints of St Marys
We always will love you
With your inspiration
We never will fail
Saints fans will forever march with you together
So proudly sing out, proudly sing out
Saints Saints Saints

To the refrain of I Will Survive (pressing for win in 2nd half):

Just one more. That will suffice
as long as all Saints occupy the opposition’s half.
We’ve got plenty in attack.
We are never going back,
we are true Saints,
we’re full of heart, Hey hey.


Smoke On The Water (Reef and Refrain):
Run and shoot,
score and salute
all the Saints faithful.
What a loot
here to recruit
for the Saints faithful.

Score for Southampton
the guys in red and white.
We are Southampton.

The NC/Poch anthem (to the refrain of You Can't Hurry Love):



The Southampton way
You just don’t stop to play
The sky is the limit
It’s a game of white and red

The St Mary’s greats
Will do what it takes
To steal all the headlines
and paint the Solent white and red

To the refrain and end-tunes of Eminem's Without Me:

Now this is just Saints’ specialty
When everybody’s behind the team
‘Cause we’re here to win by any means
‘Cause it’s great to sing out S-F-C

We say, this is just Saints’ specialty
See the opposition to hide and flee
‘Cause the Saints run up and down the pitch
‘Cause it’s us who sing loud S-F-C

La-La-La-llana
La-Rickie-Lambert
La-Artur-Boruc
And Lucky Shaw

La-Jay-Rodriguez
La-Morgan-Morgan
La-Fonte-Lovren
And Nat King Clyne

To Whitesnake's Give Me All Your Love Tonight


Our home is proud St Mary’s,
We came out from the Dell,
They kept neglecting us
But we’re doing more than well:
We can’t stop believing in our right
To see all red and white.

We are leaving in the dream
Of our great academy,
Of history and future,
Because we’re Hampshire’s cream.
We know the game we’re playing
And yes, we are hungry for more.

So come on all the Saints tonight,
Pull the red-white shirt with pride,
This is how we live and breathe,
So come on all of You Saints tonight.

I was listening to a bit of Cash in the car and thought The Man Who Comes Around would be a good football song...........maybe about Mo

There's a man going round taking names
And he decides who to drop and who to play

And that's as far as I've got because I just thought of it.

Sorry for flooding this thread, but could I suggest a Hymn to Pochettino:

to the refrain of ABBA's Chiquitita (start from 1:45)


Pochettino, you and I know
There’s no better place to be (place to be) than St Mary’s

Marching in with all the Saints
Till we reach our aim –
And the aim is always winning.

Pochettino, you and I smile
For the sky is red and the sun is shining on Marchwood.
Let us win and sing once more
As we see the score
For our true Saint, Pochettino

Sing once more as we see the score
For our true Saint, Pochettino…

First post from me but I think this works rather well:

To the tune of Queen "We are The champions"

We are Southampton my friend
We'll keep on fighting til the end
We are Southampton
We are Southampton
No time for P*mpey
'Cos we are Southampton
We're the Saints

RICKIE LAMBERT GOAL MACHINE

To the Nagasaki song (from the Jeeves and Wooster series), start from 0,35


Hot ginger and dynamite –
He’ll set the ground alight
Pass to Rickie Lambert
And the score will be abundant
Tricky Rickie our goal machine

He’s out to entertain
The Itchen and Northam end
Breaking up defences
With enourmous consequences
Tricky Rickie our goal machine

THE STORY OF ADAM LALLANA

To the tune of Minnie the Moocher (Jeeves and Wooster series), start at 0,27:

This is the story of Adam Lallana
With greater vision than an iguana
His magic touch was fast as gale
He made defenders look like clumsy whales

Adam-Adam Adam-Aaa
La-la La-la La-llanaa
Ala-ala Ala-laa
La-la La-la La-llanaa

He was in love with his club Southampton
But girls adored him even down at Fratton
And when he took a walk in town
The queen was asking: “Hey boy, where’s your crown?”

Is there a Lallana chant to the tune of La Bamba yet?
