This just about sums up the financial situation at Pompey at the moment, as I see it. They used to tell me they were building a team And so I followed the mob When there were goals to score or saves to make I was always there cheering the job They used to tell me they were building a team With Cups and glory ahead Why should I be down in League One Our club nearly dead? Once we built a winning team, we won the cup Had a wonderful time Then the bills they all arrived, Time was up Brother, can you spare a dime? Once we were on the back page of The Sun Europe Football was fine Harry spent the money, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once in Pompey shirts, gee we looked swell Full of that Play-Up-Pompey yell Twenty thousand voices singin' like Hell And I was the kid with the bell Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Why don't you remember, I'm your pal Say buddy, can you spare a dime? Once in Pompey shirts, gee we looked swell Full of that Play-Up-Pompey yell Twenty thousand voices singin' like Hell And I was the kid with the bell Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Pompey (and England ,we once had four full Internationals in the first team which was more than Man Utd just 2/3 years ago)until I die!PUP Ignore Possum Devo, he allegedly keeps his head up his arse
Very good! How about some Ellie Goulding? This song's direct at the ownership at Portsmouth in recent months. Who are we to be emotional? Who are you to play with clubs and throw it all? Who are you to turn our supporters heads? Who are we to find ourselves in other people's mess? I don't like the way you never listen to finacial advice I feel like we're close to liquidation and to poor to cry for help I don't think you care for us much at all This team is be and end all This team will be your downfall This team is be and end all This team will be your downfall I'm feeling down about this team Who were you to make us play so good? Who are you to give huge salaries and say we're misunderstood? Who are we to say our support is always yours? Who are we to win the Cup that everyone adores? I don't see a reason why we can't just be sustainable We're sinking down the leagues like we're we're utterly unable I don't think you care for us much at all, at all This team is be and end all This team will be your downfall This team is be and end all This team will be your down fall This team is be and end all This team will be your downfall (At all) This team is not what you want This club will never be yours This team is be and end all This team will be your downfall
Very good efforts gentlemen What about a song for next season, I quite like the sound of; Scummers going down, Scummers going down, Super Pompey's going up, Super Pompey's going up. PUP
Don't give up (Bob) Hope yet lads, you could join us on "The road to Utopia" if you recieve some "Pennies from Heaven".
Super Pompey's going up, Super Pompey's going up. ____________________________________________ Belly up perhaps.

How about some Woody Guthrie? Based on this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46mO7jx3JEw Do Re Mi - Pompey Lots of folks down south, they say, are working hard every day, Toiling the hard and honest way along the Pompey line, Along to Fratton Park they roll, down the Frogmore road they stroll, They’re hoping they will see a goal, but he’s what they find, Now, the lawyers and the FA always say, “If you want to play the game you’ve gotta pay” Oh, if you don’t have the Do Re Mi, folks, you don’t have the Do Re Mi, Why, you better go back home to your sofa, to your computers, radio’s and TV’s, Football is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see, But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot, If you don’t have the Do Re Mi. You want to buy your club or team, and chase the glory of the dream, To overhaul the old regime and keep your future free, But there will always be a catch, to hurt before you played a match, So then take this little tip from me, ‘Cause I look through the paper’s every day, And the headlines on the columns always say: If you don’t have the Do Re Mi, boys, you don’t have the Do Re Mi, Why, you better go back home to your sofa, to your computers, radio’s and TV’s, Football is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see, But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot, If you don’t have the Do Re Mi. Edit: additionally, I thought of doing an alternate version of Pastures of Plenty - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH2DJvgNlMA&feature=relmfu
How about some Coldplay? Michael, keep on the road you're on Players, untill the play is done Supporters, you've got to support them on Sometimes even the result is wrong They are turning the club out To see what relegation's all about Keeping our heads down To see what safety feels like now But I have no doubt One day, we're gonna get out Tonight maybe we're gonna run Dreaming of the Fratton sun Oh, oh Dreaming of when promotion comes They are turning the club out To see what relegation's all about Keeping our heads down To see what safety feels like now But I have no doubt One day, the sun will come out
