SONGS ABOUT OUR OWN CITY!

[gammon cheeks]

Getting to the point that now that there are more songs about the Skate Scum than there is about our Southampton !  I Would never slag our own fans off for siinging but its getting to the point of doing my fn head in !

Don't know that one, how does it go?..

There's always 'To be a Farmer's Boy', marching tune of the old Hampshire Regiment.

But as the title goes, songs about the city, Southampton, not Hampshire or anywhere else. Why would anyone want to sing that?

[Turkish]

It olds and it is beautiful and it’s colours they are fine

We wore it at the antelope, the Dell, when we hear st Mary’s roar

My father wore it in my youth in bygone days of yore 

and at st Mary’s I love to wear the sash my father wore

The time has scarce gone round boys four hundred years ago,

When the French on old Southampton walls their faces dare not show.

When napoleon all his rebel band came up to BarGate,

With heart and hand and sword and shield We caused him to retreat.

Then fight and don’t surrender, But come when duty calls

With heart and hand and sword and shield, We’ll guard southampton walls

[Turkish]

We’re the famous DEF

we’re the famous DEF

Is that Stephen Lewis on lead vocals...? 😂

 

[Toussaint]

We are Southampton the pride of the south, we hate all the bastards ....... oh wait, doesnt work

Southampton's a shithole, I wanna go home...... that one neither.

 

That's it.

Also i'm not sure how many of you are old enough to remember when there were a bunch of folk singers that used to regularly play places like the dolphin in st denys, the songs they sang are hardly going to take over the terraces but they wrote some quality ones about our city like this.

Has anyone still got that "Yellow" song to the Coldplay tune that I believe came out just before the Cup Final V Arsenal at Cardiff?

[SW5 SAINT]

There’s still the Ballad of John and Yoko……!

Start spreadin' the news
I'm supportin' the Saints
I want to be a part of it
Twinned with New York

These French and Sons shoes
Are longing to stay
Right through the very heart of it
With walls you can walk

 

I want to wake up
In a city that’s been asleep
And find we’re kings of the champs 
Though it looks fucking steep

These little-town blues
Are melting away
We’ll make a brand new start of it
The Russball fast walk

If you can make it here 
You deserve a 
Blow job and beer
It's up to you
Life’s just, too short…

[Sarisbury Saint]

I can’t read and I can’t write

but that don’t really matter 

I come down from Southampton and I can drive a tractor.

I can plough and milk a cow and drive a great big mower 

but the thing that  like best is being a strawberry grower.

Actually the worst song possible about Southampton, we're not f*cking rural and it makes no sense to portray ourselves as wurzels, unless i missed the farmland in bevois valley and st mary's growig up (saying that there was plenty of weed farms so maybe they count)

This x 1000. Absolutely awful, people dont seem to realise it's taking the piss out of southerners.

Thanks Master Bates and Turkish for those two favourites.

We should be promoting things in our songs that are great about the city.

We've got an IKEA and a Costco FFS. Does Coventry have either or them? No. We should be lording it over them with these sort of facts.

Celebrate the positives.

I parked outside a Currys last night though so thankfully we steered clear of lording it over them vis-a-vis Electrical Retialers. Because the egg would have very much been on our faces.
