A New Spurs Anthem!

In these dark days, following a shambolic display against Chelsea , followed by a very unwise emotional outburst from our blatantly inexperienced manager, with the rest of a tough month ahead, and at best (!) the prospect of yet another year of midweek trips to the furthest, darkest corners of Europe to play unpronounceable, unheard-of teams in exhausting conditions , followed by miserable Sunday performances against modest opposition, perhaps you will agree our spirits do need a bit of a lift.

So here is my offering for every Spurs fan. A new anthem for us to get stuck into and lift the team (in case Mr Sherwood again fails to do so). Of course, I’m not expecting all 12 verses to be sung on every occasion!! But maybe the first two verses could become a new and distinctive song for us? What do you reckon? Please give it a try! (Not something I can personally initiate in the white-haired section of the Paxton!!)

It’s Tottenham I love
(with apologies to The Cure – It’s Friday I’m in Love:

I don't care if Chelsea's blue,
Man U’s red and Liverpool too.
Ars’nal I don't care for you!
It's Tottenham I love!

Premier League or FA Cup
Sitting down or standing up,
Spurs will always be my club –
It's Tottenham I love!

The Speclal (Specious?) One just makes me cringe
I just laugh at Wenger’s whinge
Moyesy’s talk’s beyond the fringe –
It's Tottenham I love!

Never com-plain!
The weekend will come round again -
And I’ll be down at White Hart Lane...

Barcodes play in white and black;
Fulham's down, not coming back;
West Ham rent a running-track –
It's Tottenham I love!

Saints are always hard to beat
Stoke just don’t admit defeat
But red-striped shirts aren’t up my street -
It’s Tottenham I love!

Swansea fly the flag for Wales
West Brom, Villa tell us tales
But all their bull**** always fails -
It’s Tottenham I love!

Cardiff Bluebirds wear red shirts
Everton know failure hurts
Palace get their just deserts -
It’s Tottenham I love!

Never com-plain!
The weekend will come round again -
And I’ll be down at White Hart Lane...

Sunderland can fall apart
Hull and West Ham break my heart
But I’m a Yiddo from the start -
It's Tottenham I love!

Pardew’s lost it in his head
Pellegrini looks half-dead
I didn’t see what Wenger said -
It’s Tottenham I love!

When I heard what my partner said
I really could have stayed in bed
But I’m off to White Hart Lane instead –
It’s Tottenham I love!

Tell me stories short or tall,
Blanchflower, Hoddle, Chivers, Hall,
Mabbutt, Ditchburn - love them all!! -
It's Tottenham I love!

Never com-plain!
The weekend will come round again -
And I’ll be down at White Hart Lane...

I don’t care if Chelsea’s blue
Man U’s red and Liverpool too
Ars’nal I don’t care for you –
It’s Tottenham I love!!!

Cheers, all!

COYS!

 

Genius. I'd love for this to catch on, but part of me thinks its too complicated for a terrace

 

****ing amazing lyrics and great choice of song!

 

Not to mention too clean!....

 

True. Maybe we could dust off Chas and Dave and get them to record a cover for us to play before kick-off.

 

dust them off?,they are touring again

 

I don't keep up with them tbh. They could have been dead for all i knew

 

don,t really follow them but i heard them on Terry Wogan's sunday radio show a few weeks back

 

I think it's a farewell tour (Chas and Dave). Again.

Dazzling lyrics again Audrey - I don't see why the first verse can't be done on the terraces

My favourite verse though was this one

Tell me stories short or tall,
Blanchflower, Hoddle, Chivers, Hall,
Mabbutt, Ditchburn - love them all!! -
It's Tottenham I love!

Genius!

 

I think Daniel Levy should stand up at the next home game,hand on heart (not wallet!) and sing it!

 

Legend

 

Hahaha!!
