with apologies to R. Kershaw
Long, long time ago,
I can still remember how supporting Rochdale made me smile.
And I knew if he had one chance,
Keith Hill would wear fantastic pants,
And Dale fans would be happy for a while.
But Bell and Coleman made me shiver,
With every team sheet they delivered.
Bad news in the morning,
Attendances were falling.
I can't remember how I sighed,
When I read that they had both resigned,
But felt such great relief inside,
The day we stopped the Slide.
[Chorus]
So bye-bye to the slip and the slide
We're in motion for promotion with Keith Hill on our side
Them Rochdale boys have gone and put back the pride
And the threat of relegation has died.
Did you make the trip to Crewe,
and to Mansfiled, York and Wycombe too,
As the fixture list told you to?
And do you have Dale Player in your home,
And do you cheer loud for every goal,
And do you dance around your room alone?
Now I knew our lads were gonna win,
Cause I saw them training in the gym.
They all would slay the ghosts,
With Josh Lillis between the posts.
I was a lonely Dale fan on the road,
And supporting Dale was a heavy load,
But Keith Hill came and soon took hold
Of the team, and stopped the slide.
Chorus
I met a girl wearing black and blue,
I asked her if she'd heard the news,
And she just cheered and walked away.
And I went down to the old club store,
Where I'd spent some money years before,
But the men there had all gone on holiday.
And in the streets the children screamed,
The lads played ball and Bury dreamed.
But Bury's dreams were broken,
The Dale had won promotion.
And the men who worried me the most:
John Coleman and his co-host,
They headed for the Irish coast
The day we stopped the slide.
Chorus

Great debut, I can see the questionof Rkershaw/Borderline becoming the new Lennon/McCartney debate in years to come. |  | | |

Don't usually bother with the songs but that was excellent.
A CD, video, tour perhaps? |  | | |

Good effort, that
Can't wait for your follow-up version of Starry Starry Night
(n.b. rhymes with floodlight) |  |

Did she con people as well? |  |
| When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf? |

I saw it more as a poem than a take on a popular song. Try to sing the words and the mice start jumping on the mouse traps......it doesnt work well. | | | |
