Personal variations on Palace songs

[Dillenger]

There's something about this on another thread somewhere, but i thought it deserves one of it's own.

Have you got any little modifications on any of our reportoire ?

I personally don't sing the "and Ron Noades Mother is a ...", not out of sensitivity, i just got the words wrong to start with, and have grown attached to my misinterpretation of "Everybody knows your mother is a...", which i reckon is better anyway.

Anyone got any others ?

[Chocky]

This reminds me of fat old aunties who sit there tipsy at weddings and sing every word wrong along to 60s stuff they reckon they know. And out of tune as well!

The silly Alan Mullery went to Paris to see the Queen...

Can anyone put me right here? I know it's now "walking down the Holmesdale Road, to see the Palace aces", but in the late 70s, didn't it used to be "running down the Holmesdale Road"? It's what I sang in the school corridors anyway.

[Blind_Eagle]

I remember it back in the 70's as 'running down the Holmesdale road' as well Chocky.

The infamous Peter Mandleson saw the Dome and missed the joke..

[PeterH]

Big debates here but I am mystified by this 'mother is a .....'. I always thought it was his wife as a pop at Novella and the age difference. Particularly prominent when she was seen lording it up at the Cup Final.

When Alan Smith was manager I sat with some friends in the A. Wait and there was a belting rendition of 'Alan Smith's Red & Blue Army'. Imagine my surprise when the young lady who I was with asked why everyone was singing 'Alan Smith comes from Bromley'.
Needless to say I've never let her forget it.

Conspiracy Theory #2577

'Al from Bromley' is none other than our ex-manager in a wig...

[Egg Sample]

As a father of an ever interested 8 year old I do have to be quite sharp on explaining the words to the songs to him. I think my best 'on the spot' response was that the words of
'Oh South London, is wonderful.... its full of tits, fanny and Palace...'
are actually,
'.........its full of chips, curry and Palace..'

[Egg Sample]

and yes, it was 'running down the Holmesdale Road '

I agree - I've only just reluctantly been converted to singing "mother" mainly because other people think I'm singing the wrong words. I always think of her as the dappy cow at the ZDS final wearing red and blue gloves - it was on the front of a programme.

[Scotty]

PeterH, I'm with you on this one, I always thought in was Ron Noades Wife, coming from the Cup Final era. These days I tend to vary it though!

[northernsouler]

During hyper boring phases at a match I sing Weasels Weasels

[RUSSELL]

I can't remember if it was mother or wife but the bit where everyone goes WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE I remember that as SHE'S DEAD AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[Ash]

Mother.

It simply has to be so. It's far, far more insulting to suggest that Uncle Ron is the product of dirty money changing hands in some dark back alleyway (ooer!) sexual transaction some centuries ago...

I hereby propose the formation of the Ron Noades Mother Party. Any takers ?

[PeterH]

Ash, my party has at least four members at this stage and the swingometer suggests it will be filling seats on 3 sides of the ground. Theres no room for minority parties such as yours, they might get support mid season but at Election time the public can't take their views seriously.

[Chris K]

ITS MOTHER

Anyway I remember a while ago recieving complaints from certain members of the bbs complaining about my signature which was "and Ron Noades Mother is a whore". Is it to make a return or will demand mean a new millenium version with the word wife instead?

[TAK]

Maybe it's a family business and they both work up the Dilly.

[Ash]

Thankyou for your support Chris K. We all know it's Mother, always has been Mother, and more importantly, always will be Mother. These revolutionary types led by PeterH and his nonsensical Wife Party are sorely mistaken if they believe that they can break with years of Ron's-Mother-Whore-Type-Baiting tradition. PeterH, the Swingometer often points in the wrong direction at these early stages of turnout, time will show us, as more and more voters head for the polling station, that popular consensus will see The Mother Party regain it's rightful power !

[Gooders]

You're all obviously very good at working out the words to songs so...

remember when we played Leeds at home in the cup a couple of years back (and Nige saved the last minute penalty)?

the Leeds fans sang a song all the way through half-time that had quite a catchy tune and I couldn't work out one word of it - my best guess is that it was about Yorkshire...anyone got any idea?

[James Varcoe]

Isn't supposed to be 'beer, fanny and Palace'?

[Ash]

Not too sure, have to ask the Ferret Shagger who plays for my Sunday team, but I think it begins...

Marching on together,
We all follow Leeds
La La La... ?

I'm a Yorkshire B@stard,
and I live in a garden shed ?

Nope. "Tits, fanny and palace"

[Pistike]

James everyone always sings tits fanny and Palace which as you know has always annoyed me.

A beer free S.London wouldn't be any fun.

A tits free S.London would only require one to purchase the "super soar away current bun" (or have they stopped page 3 now?)
In any case for many this clearly isn't an issue - eh Kev?

A fannyless S.London unthinkable.

And as for a Palace free S.London well...

nuff said!

[Spanish Dan]

Oh dear, what a can of worms this thread has turned out to be. Not only is there the Wife/Mother whore issue but now the added complication of Tits or Beer - which looks like dividing us even further. The question is, Is there any correlation between the two factions? Does being a "Wife" man make you more pre-disposed to also being a "Tits" man. Similarly, are most "Mothers" also "Beer" ? Does any of this bear any relation as to whether you're Noades or Lim?

I will nail my colours to the post here and now...I am a dyed-in-the blood Wife-Tits supporter.

[Ash]

Well, I used to be a Mothers' Tits boy, now I'm a Whores' Tits man.

[Gooders]

Mothers/Tits for me.

No, it wasn't "marching on together" that the Leeds fans were singing but thanks for trying.

By the way - does Marching on Together qualify for "most pants footie song anywhere ever"? I hate that ******* song.

A few weeks back on tv I heard another club singing it. Can't remember who. I thought it was exclusively a Leeds song?

It's ****e anyway.

Ah, but there's never been any doubt that we're all firmly behind "Whore" - as indeed we are with "Fanny". In fact if anything can unite us, it is our shared love of Whore Fanny.

[Ash]

Coventry ?

[PeterH]

Ash, earlier this century Labour were a revolution in Politics. On this wife/mother issue I see myself as the autonomous blairite leader of new Palace majestically sweeping all opposition away. Your somewhat pitiful renmants of a once proud party are
simply getting more extreme in a last ditch
attempt to win the popular vote.

I am going to rule the world. HA HA HA!!!

[Ash]

"I'll keep on singing, while the Palace keep on winning.... cos I'm from South London"

an admission of only singing when ones team is winning ?

...and do you opt to recommend removing oneself from your sister after the above line or not ?

[Ash]

MOTHER.

[Jack Regan]

You think the songs of today are bad?

Listen to these 2 classics I noticed buried in programmes from yesteryear (early 70's) which I spotted in the CPST Offices:-

(She'll be coming round the mountain...)

If you wanna go to heaven when you die
If you wanna go to heaven when you die
Wear a claret 'n' blue bonnet
With 'Palace' written on it
If you wanna go to heaven when you die.

It gets worse...

(Knees up Mother Brown)

Palace won't go down
Palace won't go down
Up the table we will go
E, I, E, I, E, I, O
All the time Dons scoring (Don Rogers, Ed)
We'll never wear a frown
So keep those knees up
Don't you ease up
Palace won't go down

And guess what f**king happened?

Got it in one!

The only people know to be alive when these songs were originally sung are:-

Me
Gooders
Archiebald Leitch
Neil the Eagle
ammiller (a baby probably)
Rev Nigel Sands
Mrs. Minchella
Trolley

[eagle mart]

Leeds- Marching all together
Coventry- "We sky blues always sing together" or something..
Naaaaaarige: On the ball City

It's easy to get them confused!

[Dai the Swansea Eagle]

The Leeds song was about being "Champions of Europe" I think. Accompanied by quite a few bare chests which was quite impressive for a winters evening!

A mate of mine, Farmer Palmer (Ohh Arr Get Orf Moi Laaaand), a Palace fan for at least 12 or so years, actually reckoned that the Arthur Waite stand was called the 'Half-Away Stand' - until last season !

Heh heh heh.

[Ash]

..oh and btw, you'll notice my location verifies which member of the Noades clan I hold in the highest regard.

[PeterH]

I put us up as the true party, those that support the 'wife' version.

Not that I want to amend every classic but
I like chips, curry and the Palace or beer, curry and the Palace. Not that I am against
the Lovely Ladies of South London, esp. those that can be seen in Streatham at odd hours of the night.

[Fester]

Have always sung Ron Noades' wife myself...where did the mother bit originate?

[Pistike]

I'm completely off my face this evening. Would it be ok if I continued in the morning?
The get off me sister remark has got me really worried because I haven't got one.

I have a confession - oldie aswell.

I was born under Selhurst Park
I was born under Selhurst Park
boots were made for booting
guns were made to shoot
if you come up the Holmesdale End
we'll all stick in the boot

[PeterH]

Jack, a couple of classics my son. Not wishing to tempt fate but I would love those songs to be reinstated next season. Maybe a chorus or two at Crawley or Sutton.

[Gooders]

Dai - thanks, I think you're probably on the right track there and it would certainly explain why they don't sing it anymore!

Guys and girls - I don't think it's Coventry that I've heard singing the "Marching on together" song or something similar - I've never heard Coventry singing! Something in the back of my mind tells me that it was Boro - and it's definitely the exact same song as Leeds do.

Jack - aah memories! Do you remember the "old goalkeepers were rubbish" bit that used to be on Fantasy Football? Well, those songs have reminded me that old chanting was rubbish too! Watch an old vid from the 70's and I guarantee that you'll grin when you hear what's coming out of the crowd. Things like...

"We all agree, Crystal Palace are magic!"

or

"Five foot two, eyes of blue, Alan Whittle's after you, la la la la, la la la, la la"

or

"You're goona get your ******* heads kicked in!"

or

"la la la, la la la la, la la la la, Palace" to the tune of Hey Jude

Mind you, one old song that I'm glad has been resurrected is "clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap, PALACE!" which I think can be very impressive when enough people join in, as evidenced a couple of times this season at Selhurst.

[Pistike]

So it seems that Stevie Coppell's red & blue army is indeed united by whore and fanny and divided by tits and beer.
I have such a cruel hangover today, please can someone remind me of which song ends with the line "get off me sister".
It wasn't sung at Tranmere to the best of my knowledge and yet previously I thought that we had gone through our entire repertoire that afternoon.

Pistike,

The song is "Maybe it's a Big Horse" as in..

Maybe its a big horse I'm a Landaner..
That I lave Landan Taarrrrn..

Palace fans...you're all bloody Cockneys!

Gooders,

Wonderful memories - I hope you were twirling your scarf around your head as you typed those classic lyrics!

[Egg Sample]

Please, Please can someone put up again the words to the old Holmesdale song about Borstal...
....i met a policeman, and he asked me my name, i gave him the answer , with a bycicle chain......

I know this was put up some time ago and I cannot find the original thread

[Ash]

Absolutely Jack.

But of course 'Get of my sister' can also be applied with vigour to the end of this classic...

We took the North Bank in half a minute
We took the Shed with the Chelsea in it
We hammered the hammers
With carving knives and spanners
And Tottenham don't know where to run
But I'll keep a singing
While the Palace keep on winning
Cos I'm from South Landaaaan !

...GET OF ME SISTAAAGHHHH !

I thank you.

Egg,

Standing at the top of the Holmesdale in the early 70’s this bloody song was sung every week. Don’t ask me why because I don’t know.

Pull on those Oxford Bags with hooks for 2 belts, step into those 4” stacks, get a feathered haircut, button up a shirt with a ridiculously loud pattern with collars bigger than a 747’s wings, and get that claret and blue silk scarf out and sing, a one, a two, a one two three four…

I found an old handbag
And I filled it with lead
I hit an old lady
Right over the head

Along came a copper
And asked me my name
I gave him the answer
With a bicycle chain

The judge said sit down boy
And dry up your tears
You’re going to borstal
For 2 or 3 years

I counted the moonbeams
I counted the stars
I counted 10,000 (pronounced ten faaarsand)
Through those prison bars

If I was the Warden
And the Warden was me
I’d wake up one morning
And set myself free

But I ain’t the warden
And the Warden ain’t me
So I’ll have to stay here
‘Til my liberty

[Blind_Eagle]

Egg, the version we used to sing had a different third line as in

kinves were made for stabbing
guns were made to shoot...

Just goes to show how politically correct the older members of this board used to be!

[Holmesdale]

I believe the Leeds song was:

'We are the Leeds, the champions of Europe!'

Strange song considering they have never won the European cup!

Yes,

Thats great as well Ash real class.

[ammiller]

A friend of ours (Gooders, Archiebald Leitch and DI Regan will know who I mean), - but I will, for the sake of anomyty, refer to him as Jim C - no that's too obvious - I will refer to him as J. Carelse, was singing this song (to himself) as recently as cup final day 1990.

To the tune of Alvin Stardust's 70's classic "Long legged lady dressed in black"

"Red and blue red and blue red and blue,
Red and blue red and blue red and blue blue blue"

[Gooders]

I've been waiting for a "Jim from Croydon" to turn up on the BBS for ages. Still no sign.

He got that name when he and Archiebald Leitch were returning from an F.A. Cup disappointment in Plymouth. They rang a radio station phone-in on which Terry Venables was appearing. He'd missed a late penalty in our (I think) 2-1 defeat.

"Hello, who's this? You're through to Terry Venables"

"This is Jim from Croydon"

"What would you like to ask Terry Venables?"

"Why did you miss that fu*king penalty?!!!"

[PeterH]

Not Palace songs but I detail below three of
the funniest I have heard in recent years from other clubs. Charges can be brought on them not being very PC but they are sung by their own fans so dont have a pop at me.


At Villa (several years ago)

Nigel Spinnk gets the ball and rolls it out to Platty,

hes passes it to Paul McGrath who taps it out to Daley,

who flies up the wing just like a black torpedo,

and then crosses the ball in the air,

forrrrrrrrrrr Tony Cascarino!

Spurs

Chin chinaree Chin Chinarre Chin Chin Chin Charooo (must have spelt this wrong),

George was a Gooner bot now he's a Jew.


Arsenal

My old man's got a 'Y' reg Sierra,

Oooohhhh, Patrick Viera.

Good to get a crowd singing at cricket and for making up new ones i.e.

Darth Vader has got a bent light Saber,
ooooohhhh, Angus Fraser.

[Egg Sample]

Jack, your'e a diamond, thanks v much.

Has been used more recently to Wolves, but the original, again from the back of the Holmesdale was,
to the tune of the DamBusters;
We hate Millwall , Millwall, Millwall
wall, Millwall, Millwall, Millwall
Millwall, Millwall, Millwall
wall, Millwall, Millwall

We hate.....

[James Simmo]

One of the first songs I remember and thank god it doesn't come out now was:

Ea CLAP CLAPCLAP CLAP gles...Ea CLAP CLAPCLAP CLAP gles...Ea CLAP CLAPCLAP CLAP gles...Ea CLAP CLAPCLAP CLAP gles...

Etc etc.

PS Used to be a wife now a mother and always a tits man myself

[Ash]

Great Mother Tits ! Eat yer Wife Beer PeterH....

[lightweight]

A few of us - (I think it was skate, monty and myself) were trying to think of an alternative 'female' version to the south london is wonderful one.... I'm sure we came up with something but must have lost the masterpiece in a drunken haze somewhere... http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/smile.gif

[Ash]

My shandy drinking Leeds mate has just forwarded me the words to Marching On. Now I don't suppose anyone is interested in the slightest, but just in case...

Here we go with Leeds United
We're gonna give the boys a hand
Stand up and sing for Leeds United
We are the greatest in the land

Every day, we're all gonna say
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
Everywhere, we're gonna be there
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!

Marchin' on together
We're gonna see you win (na, na, na, na, na, na)
We are so proud
We shouted out loud
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!

We've been through it all together
And we've had our ups and downs (ups and downs!)
We're gonna stay with you forever
At least until the world stops going round

Every day, we're all gonna say
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
Everywhere, we're gonna be there
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!

Marchin' on together
We're gonna see you win (na, na, na, na, na, na)
We are so proud
We shouted out loud
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!

I tried to revive this chant this year and towards the end of the season it started to take off. When everyone joins in it sounds pukka.
Just in case you were wondering it was at the back of block A.

Was it
"is full of meat, two veg and Palace?"

[Ash]

I remember a song bandied about the Arthur Enclosure mid/late eighties, 'sung' to the tune of Pinball Wizard... something along the lines of -

Ever since I was a young boy
I must have seen them all
from Carlisle down to Brighton
seen Palace beat them all
But I ain't seen nothing like it
at any ground I've been
Crystal Palace, England's greatest team.

I can't think for the life of me how that one never caught on.

Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O, Jim-bye-O !

[PeterH]

Ash, thats another classic, Not letting you go on that mother issue. Given the choice i'd like to eat a tits and beer combo myself.

Me thinks tomorrow afternoon a simple
wife/mother thread poll may be in order and then as per Mellor you and your croneys
will be OUT OUT OUT.

[Ash]

PeterH, post it on General Palace Discussion for maximum BBS exposure.

You'll be sorry.

MOTHER !

btw, the Tits Beer combo can be purchased for a very reasonable rate at The Banana Bar, Amsterdam.

[Trolley]

I distinctly remember an old song from the 60's :

One two three four
Listen to the Preston Roar
Peanuts for Sixpence

and a song about Gerry Queen :

Gerry Gerry faster than lightning
No one is faster is faster than he...

[Gooders]

Good God! That old "peanuts for sixpence!" thing. What a memory Trolley! I take my hat off to you.

I don't know if this will jog your memory but I definitely recall Barnsley singing the "Marching Altogether" song when we played them at Selhurst in the 1996-97 season. I don't remember them singing that this season though as I was far too busy booing Miller to even notice.

[Gooders]

Thanks Ian but it definitely wasn't the Tykes because I heard it in the background on MOTD this season.

Like you, I heard nothing against them this season except the sound of my own voice screaming at fatboy - very therapeutic!

Perhaps Ash can ask his Leeds mate who it is who's ripped off their song?

[Holmesdale Block C]

Anybody go to Wolves away this year?

"You know you are,
Your sure you are,

Or West Brom away when there was the trouble at the back of the stand with the stewards?

no it wasn't - but that's probably better than some of the suggestions we came up with http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/sarcblink.gif http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/smile.gif

My personal favourite was

He forges dollars and he hates George Best

Rachid, Rachid

He forges dollars and he hates George Best

Rachid Harkouk.

As some will remember this was post the Rachid/Barry Silkman forged dollars scandal and the breaking of Ian Evan's leg by said GB.

[SKATE]

Lightweight....were these a couple of our suggestions??

..its full of sex, sherry and Palace!
..its full of wine, willies and Palace!

One of our mates from school came with us to one of the games when Mullery was in charge.Instead of singing Alan Mullery's Red and Blue Army, he was singing Alan Mullery went Balarmy.I still remind him of it now when i see him nearly twenty years on.

Leeds had another good song, I dont know if they still sing it though:-

Y R A
Yorkshires Republican Army
We're barmy
Wherever we go
we'll faer no foe
for we are the Y R A


And one of ours:-

Tiptoe through the Holmesdale
with your boots on
get your head kicked in
so tiptoe through the Holmesdale
with me

As a father of an ever interested 8 year old I do have to be quite sharp on explaining the words to the songs to him. I think my best 'on the spot' response was that the words of
'Oh South London, is wonderful.... its full of tits, fanny and Palace...'
are actually,
'.........its full of chips, curry and Palace..'

Oh good, I can now use this with my 8 year old!

"And Ron Noades showed himself the Door"

I always used to find the:

There's gonna be a nasty accident,
You're going home in a f*cking ambulance.

a bit funny, as you normally go to hospital in an ambulance after an accident.

Also remember a song with the words:

I walk with a wiggle, giggle and a squawk
We are the Gippsy Hill Mob

or something similar. I was a long time ago.

The end of a song I remember was
"We are the Palace, we're mad"

Quite true of course but can anyone help me with the rest of the words?

[bert head is god]

There's a Brown Boy on the Wing La La La La La

There's a Brown Boy on the Wing La La La La La

There's a Brown Boy on the Wing La La La La La

And Its Looks Like Its Vince Hillaire


Or

We had joy we had fun we had Brighton on the run, but the fun didn't last coz the bus was far too fast

We ain't won a medal and we ain't won the cup
we aint won the league, only been runners up
we're not very good in fact we're bad
we are the Palace, we're mad.

[Timbo]

Excellent! Thanks Little Al, it's years since I've heard that

[cumbrian_eagles]

At Swindon several years ago there was a chant of Santa Claus, or Sack the Board as it turned out to be. A friend of mine also wanted to know why we were singing We are Palace from Sellers.

If I was the Warden
And the Warden was me
I’d wake up one morning
And set myself free

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think the 5th verse should read.

I dream't I was the warden
And the warden was me
I woke up one morning
And set myself free

But I'm not the warden......Ect

Just to bring up an old thread...

When ever I hear

Silver Lighting (I guess that's what it's called)

Your everywhere and nowhere baby...
That's where your at... etc

When it comes to the verse I sing

And it's I O Crystal Palace
And up we go...
Our Sir Iain has taken us up
We are Premier league!

(Admittedly I can't keep a tune so this might not work for other people!)
