Hello everyone.....
Some of you will be aware that a while back I took some song lyrics and altered them (ever so) slightly to provide songs for the Cup Final. I meant to post these a little while back but for some reason this escaped me. First one is entitled 'The London Senior Cup' which goes with the tune of 'Just Can't Get Enough' by Depeche Mode (and features the words 'London Senior Cup' no less than 52 times ).
Depeche Mode:
Instrumental Version:
There’s something so great to me,
There’s something that I love.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
Every time it comes around,
I like it very much.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
The tension’s here and we’re all gearing up,
It’s the mighty London Senior Cup.
It’s the best,
Competition in the land.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
Excitement for everyone,
A spectacle so grand.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
Tension mounts and it’s all building up,
It’s the mighty London Senior Cup.
London Senior Cup (X16)
It doesn’t rain,
There’s always shine for me.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
Best event in all the world,
And it will always be.
The London Senior Cup,
The London Senior Cup.
It’s something I’ll always love,
It’s the mighty London Senior Cup.

Secondly there's something which I have named 'Tanner's Off To Imber Court' which goes along with the theme of well known song 'Ossie's Dream'. I realise this might not be to everyone's taste as the original song is based around Tottenham, but as football songs go it's one of my favourites (along with 1970 England song 'Back Home') and I find it very catchy. I have had people comment on the Sandy Lane reference, in this case it relates to where the team itself originates from back in 1932.
Ossie's Dream:
Tanner’s off to Imber Court,
It’s a very special thought,
In the Senior Cup,
The Senior Cup.
Tanner’s off to Imber Court,
It’s a very special thought,
In the Senior Cup,
The Senior Cup.
Come on you......
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
Victory is coming our way.
The year to remember,
The mighty Terrors,
The boys from Sandy Lane.
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
The boys are on the button,
Everybody will be singing,
For the pride of South London.
We are the boys of Craigy’s army,
And we’re marching off to war.
Sending our soldiers to battle,
At a place called Imber Court.
Craigy we’re gonna be behind you,
Backing all the way.
You’re the ones that we’ll be proud of,
On our cup final day.
Come on you......
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
Victory is coming our way.
The year to remember,
The mighty Terrors,
The boys from Sandy Lane.
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
The boys are on the button,
Everybody will be singing,
For the pride of South London.
The lads all follow the Tooting,
They’ve had a dream for many a year.
That one day they’ll reach the special final,
Now their dream is coming near.
Tooting we’re gonna be behind you,
And look at you in awe,
You will hear the stripy army,
You will hear the Bog End roar.
Come on you......
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
Victory is coming our way.
The year to remember,
The mighty Terrors,
The boys from Sandy Lane.
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
The boys are on the button,
Everybody will be singing,
For the pride of South London.
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
Victory is coming our way.
The year to remember,
The mighty Terrors,
The boys from Sandy Lane.
Tooting’s gonna do the final,
The boys are on the button,
Everybody will be singing,
For the pride of South London.
Everybody will be singing,
For the pride of South London.
Tanner’s off to Imber Court,
It’s a very special thought,
In the Senior Cup,
The Senior Cup
Tanner’s off to Imber Court,
It’s a very special thought,
In the Senior Cup,
The Senior Cup
Tanner’s off to Imber Court,
It’s a very special thought,
In the Senior Cup,
