I was browsing through ' The Bristol City Miscellany' over the weekend, looking up all sorts of fact and fiction and came across a section on some old songs and chants, here is a few, can you remember any others.......? .....He's big , he's fast, his first name should be last, Stern John, Stern John.... .....1 2 3 4 5, If you want to stay alive (keep off the East end) 6 7 8 9 10, If you want to walk again (keep off the East end) East enders East enders !...... ....He's here, he's there, he's every F*****g where, Gerry Gow, Gerry Gow ...... Not bad aye......
We love you Johnson because you're fat and round, we love you Johnson you bounce around the ground we love you Johnson trust in me when I sing Also we still sing that 2nd chant
EIEIEI0, Up the Football League we go, When we get promotion, This is what we sing, We are City, We are City, O'Driscoll is our king......(used to be Johnson)
http://www.bcfc3lions.co.uk/page60.html Few here not sure about the backing. Since the demise of forza ee/when the moon shines and a few like AP emmigrating and old skool getting just that old songs ideas have got a bit stale this season to my mind.
Love it, Love it........Especially....... When I Was Young, Just A Little Boy. My Grandad Bought Me A Brand New Toy. It Was A Gashead On A Piece Of String, He Told Me To Kick His ****ing Head In! Kick His Head In, Kick His Head In, Kick His ****ing, Head In. When I Was Older And I Went To Work, I Saw That **** In A Blue & White Shirt. I Remembered What My Grandad Said, And Kicked The **** In The ****ing Head. Kick His Head In, Kick His Head In, Kick His ****ing, Head In.
Normal people might not get it but all it really was theatre silly songs about the gas. When the game was dull out came the anti rovers songs and it was like a competition to not repeat one. There were occasions where it ended up with the atmosphere eventually picked up v the flat football and it appeared to affect the game itself.
AP should have been given a contract such was his impact on support. Gone for years now, but people still mentions his chants here.
This one goes back to the days of Alan Dicks except the words then were EIEIEIO up the table we must go when we get promotion this is what we'll say we all love we all love you down at Ashton Gate OI.
Also there was we've got Johnny Johnny Johnny Galley in our team in our team (repeat) Johnny Johnny Galley is our King (repeat) When Joe Royle played for us every one used to chant Air Raids but I think that first started for Paul Cheesley as he was so damn good in the air.
The best topical chant ever was a game against Sheffield Wednesday back in early 90's. Rest of the country covered in snow but none in Bristol at start of game. By half time, it was snowing and the PA man calmly told the Wednesday fans that the motorways north of Bristol were becoming blocked with traffic and snow. To which the East End sang "There's only one B&B in Bristol, etc"
You'll Never Take The East End and You're Going Home In A ****ing Ambulance Were two of my favourites
I used to like "There's only one Danny Wilson, only one Danny Wilson, walking along singing this song, walking in a Wilson wonderland" I know we sang it to others but it always sounded better to Danny Wilson
I remember back in the 70's in the east end, if the oposition scored, the "your 'gonna get your ****in head kicked in!" would start before the ball actualy touched the net it was so spontanious! Still my fave though, although not old at all, was the "always believe" sung on "that" night versus Palace......tingles down the spine still now.
