    Bob Murray was sure
    All that glittered was sold
    and he's buying the stairway to Roker

    When he gets there he knows
    All the kiosks are closed
    But with a word he can open a new one.

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
    And he's buying the stairway to Roker.

    There's a sign on the bogs,
    and he wants to be sure,
    that he's not really going to Newcastle.

    Of the hands that he shook,
    Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn,
    Sometimes our first impressions are misgivings

    Ooh, it makes me ponder

    Ooh, it makes me ponder

    There's a feeling I get
    When I look to the west,
    A new ground should be built
    On the coal heap

    In my thoughts I have seen
    A man like Peter Reid,
    and the roars of the crowd give me tingles

    Ooh, it makes me squander,

    Ooh, it makes me squander,

    And it's whispered that soon,
    we'll be above the Toon
    and Reidy will lead us to 7th

    And a new day will dawn
    for those who stand long,
    and the Stadium of Light will be finished

    Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh

    If there's a European golden shoe,
    Don't be alarmed now
    It's just a step along the long, long path

    Yes, there are two managers you can choose from,
    in the long run,
    Wilkinson was not the best we'd ever had,

    It really makes me wonder,

    oh, oh, oh

    Your club is turning bad but it won't go,
    In case you don't know,
    St. Niall is calling you to join him

    Oh Keano, can you hear the wind blow?
    And did you know,
    The club will last after you have gone?

    (solo)

    And as we wind up in the league
    Newcastle down, down playing Boro
    There walks a man that we all know,
    who has a broken nose and wants to show,
    How everything still turns to gold,
    And if you try very hard,
    Good players will come to you at last,
    Asamoah and Sessegnon,
    We will find that final goal...

    And he's selling the stairway...
    To Roker.

    Sorry if it's a bit ****, I was pretty much just writing down the first word that came to mind!

    It's good but a little long winded.

    Can't see it catching on.

    Very good. One of the all time greatest songs, maybe you could speak to Robert Plant and ask him to record a new version.We could use it as our song the players walk out onto the pitch to.

    Only one problem with that mate, it would be half time before the song was finished.

    Given that Planty hates StH and won't sing it I think that's just a tad doubtful !!

    Ah, but its not Stairway to Heaven, its Stairway to Roker. Thats the clincher, maybe we could also go one better and reform Led Zeppelin for a reuinion concert at the Sol. One can dream !

    Bizarre - I'm right with you on that one mate !! Just don't let Asimoah Gyan do his dance in front of the stage !

    Reforming Led Zeppelin would certainlt be better than Take That...

    Or we could ask Andy Reid to come back and perform it for us?
