Afternoon guys, have been drawn out from the shadows for this...will try not to scurry off again in a hurry.
Gimme Shelter is the only one. Please, whoever knows someone in the right places, or knows the head of St Mary's Choir For YungUnz & WrongUnz or whatever, try and make this happen. Originality is a rare beast at St Mary's and the fact he love the Stones makes this a complete no-brainer.
It fits. It works. It's easy.
Also after CBK requested lyrics for A Horse With No Name, I did a first draft in my lunchbreak...not Osvaldo-related (although he's in it) and it doesn't quite fit to the lyrics, but a little story of the last few years. Feel free to rip it a new one! Or change it!
On the first part of the journey
We were looking at League 1
There was Rickie and Morgan and Jose Fonte
There was Kelvin and Adam and Punch
The first thing we did was get to Wemb-er-ly
and won the JPT crown
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
And we made a wall of sound
You see we've been through the troubles and we're back again now
It feels good to be out of the rain
And you - you'll remember our name
And there ain't no-one that can give us no pain
La la laaa....etc
After two seasons in the depths of League One:
the Championship, our bread.
Still with Rickie and Morgan and Fonte,
Still with Kelvin and Adam and Punch
And the story they told as their football flowed,
and took us up two times in a row
You see we've been through the troubles and we're back again now
It feels good to be out of the rain
And you - you'll remember our name
And there ain't no-one that can give us no pain
La la laaaa...etc
Thanks to Marcus, and the Don Cortese
We've risen again past Pompey
Still with Rickie and Morgan and Jose Fonte,
Still with Kelvin and Adam and Punch
And now with Dejan, Osvaldo and the Big Wanyama
Shaw and Prowse representing the youth
Premier League: there's a storm passing through
We're Southampton and we're coming for you
You see we've been through the troubles and we're back again now
It feels good to be out of the rain
And you - you'll remember our name
And there ain't no-one that can give us no pain
La la laaaa...etc

Blimey, that's one hell of a first post. Well played.
