MANCHESTER CITY STADIUM SONGS & CHANTS

Anche questa è cul-tura... (una volta che sai dire le parolacce in una lingua e le loro canzoni da stadio, sai già parecchio della "cultura" del popolo...). Ho letto un articolo sulla prima squadra di calcio della storia, che compie ben 150 anni (ovviamente inglese, lo Sheffield F.C .).
Ecco le parole delle canzoni più famose, ce ne sono alcune esilaranti... tipo quella che dice "se avessi il sedere di un cammello e le ali di un corvo..." O quella del Papa che dice fanculo al Man Utd :))). Lo United mi sa molto di "Unione"...ehehehehe...(del Mortadella, infatti sono rossi come loro). E poi i tifosi dello United sono sempre stati anti-americani... Anche recentemente, quando inscenarono manifestazioni in strada contro il nuovo presidente americano.

I live my life in the City !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
("Rock'n'roll star", Oasis, beginning of the 1st song in the 1st album)

SINGING THE BLUES
(tune: Singing the blues)

I've never felt more like singing the Blues
City will win, United will lose
Oh City
You've got me singing the blues...
(clap, clap, clap, clap)
I've never felt more like crying all night
City are great United are shite, Oh City
You got me singing the blues

BLUE MOON (1985)

Blue moon...
you saw me standin' alone...
without a dream in my heart...
without a love of my own...
Blue Moon, You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I could really care for
Then suddenly they'll appear before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard someone whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked my moon had turned to gold.
Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
I have a dream in my heart
I have a love of my own
(and additional verses were added in 1989 :)
Blue Moon - You started singing our tune
You won't be singing for long
Because we beat you 5-1 (vs. United)

(song also in the movie "Notting Hill", with funny Rhys Ifans - video "The importance of being idle", Oasis)

FILTHY MAN UNITED (1981)
(tune: "Glory glory") (sung by Oasis at gigs)

The filthy/shitty Man Utd went to Rome to see the Pope (x3)
and this is what he said: "FUCK OFF" mwahahahahaha
Who the fuck are Man Utd? :-) (x3)
as the Blues go marchin' on, on, on...
The famous Man City went south to see the Queen (x3)
And this is what she said:
We love you City we do (x3)
Oh when the blues go marching on, and on and on and on and on...

(around the net you can see also a photo with "City 4 - Scum 1" :)

If I had the arse of a camel ghghghgh
and I had the wings of a crow,
I'd fly over Old Trafford tomorrow
and shit on the bastards below mwahahahaha

YOU ARE MY CITY
(tune: You are my sunshine)

You are my City
My only City
You make me happy
When skys are grey
You'll never know just
How much I love you
So please don't take my City away
Na na na na na OOOOOhhhhhhhhh

BOYS IN BLUE

City! Manchester City...
We are the lads who are playin' to win...
City...the boys in blue will never give in!
Football is the game that we all live for,
Saturday's the day we play the game,
everybody has to pull together,
and together we'll remain...
Even if we're playin' down at Maine Road,
or if we play a million miles away,
there'll always be our loyal fans behind us,
to cheer us on our way...
City! Manchester City... (refrain)
Blue is forever the best team in the land
playin' together - together we will stand
City... Blue and white they go together,
we will carry on forever more!
Maybe in another generation
when other lads have come to take our place
they'll carry on the glory of the City
keepin' City in this place...
(refrain)
The boys in blue will never give in!

My father said to me one day "is it red or blue for you?",

and if it's red you're out the door and I won't see you no more,

and then one Saturday afternoon he took me to Moss Side,

He said "my son your time has come and this is a lesson in pride",

You see the scum you never run,

You stand and fight your ground,

and when you've won on derby day,

You're sure to hear this sound,

Hark now hear

The City sing

United ran away

And we will fight for ever more

Because of Derby day

IN 1962 WE FELL INTO DIVISION 2 (1969)
(tune: Auld lang syne)

In 1962 my friends when we fell to Division Two

The Stretford End cried out aloud

'It's the end for you Sky Blues'

Joe Mercer came

We played the game

We went to Rotherham

And won 1-0

And we went back up to Division One

Since then

We won the League, and FA Cup

and have been to Europe too

And when we win the League again

We'll sing this song to you

City (clap clap), City, City, City, City

IF I DIE

If I die in the Kippax Street, whoa-oh woah-oh (x2),
If I die in the Kippax Street, there'll be ten red bastards at my feet,
Whoah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Use your head and use your feet, whoa-oh woah-oh (x2),
Use your head and use your feet, and you won't die in the Kippax Street

whoa-oh woah-oh

HELLO HELLO
(tune: Marching through Georgia)

Hello, hello, we are the City boys (x2)
And if you are a Man Utd twat/fan
Surrender or you'll die
We all follow the City

(or: And if you are a Wigan fan surrender all your pies)

Shit on Leeds (x3)
Shit on Leeds United!

WE NEVER WIN AT HOME
(tune: Dambusters)

We don't win at home
and we don't win away
We lost last week
and we lost today
But we don't give a fuck :-)
'Cos we're all pissed up :)
MCFC OK

CITY 'TIL I DIE - C.T.I.D. (1996)
(tune: H A P P Y)

City 'til I die,
I'm City 'til I die,
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm City 'til I die!

Besides, a new City hymn is a cover of "Union City Blue" by Blondie.
The song "The meaning of soul" by Oasis (written by Liam) was chosen last year for Premier League season.
