South Stand Anthem

[owlsincefifties]

This is our entry for the Sheffield Wednesday Anthem competition. I do not know when it will be first performed as most people were asleep when I went round to canvass opinions at the last match. However the tune of course is The 12th of Never by various artists, as indeed are most of the words.

(Until the 12th of Never) I'm Wednesday til I die

You ask how much I need you, must I explain.

I need you oh my Wednesday like roses need rain

You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true

Until the 12th of Never, my Wednesday I'll love you

Raise your hands, spread your arms out wide

Raise your voice, sing this song with love and pride

I loved you from the first time that I heard your name

Since the first time that I saw you, my very first game

The roaring of the faithful, the colours white and blue

Until the 12th of Never, my Wednesday I'll love you

Raise your hands, spread your arms out wide

Raise your voice, sing this song with love and pride

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom

I'll love you till the clover has lost it's perfume

I'll love you till the planets fall down from the sky

Until the 12th of Never, I'm Wednesday till I die

Until the 12th of Never, I'm Wednesday till I die

No problem Nicola, I am having several thousand song sheets printed and will hand them out before kick off at the first home match. I will stand up at the appointed time and shout ..." Altogether now, after three.... 1...2...3......................................15 ........................................................30............... Well maybe not.

Just a quick update on the South Stand Choir - so far I've got getting on for half a dozen people who say they are willing to join in, plus up to another 20 or 30 who say that they will try to snore in tune.

Dear owls66,

We have had a quick meeting of the Choral Commitee and decided that we will allow, if not welcome, the other Stands to join in. But please try to do it one Stand at a time otherwise the noise might startle some of our older members.

Thanking you in anticipation

Isn't it true that they sell ear plugs on the South?

I think that is one of your 'Urban Myths'. The majority of us have been going to football matches for so long now that we hardly notice the noise coming from the other stands. I don't know if that is because we are all deaf or because there does not seem to be as much noise generated these days.

Well, I hope you enjoyed today, it certainly sounded like it from where we were sitting. I must say that most of the sound must have been very encouraging to the players and I think they responded with the second goal. Sorry we did not make more noise in the South but a lot of the members of our Choral Society were literally stuck down in Eastbourne as someone had glued the wheels on their zimmer frames and they could'nt get to the train on time. This was a pity because we had been practising our new song which we are going to sing at the end of each match to celebrate yet another clean sheet. We nearly launched it at the Leeds friendly and would have done if Reda hadn't gone body surfing when he did.

Well back to the song which is to the tune of ' I could have danced all night '

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You could have played all night, you could have played all night

And still you wunt have scored

You could have had 12 men, even a dodgy pen

And still you wunt have scored

You once came close while we were yawning

But our defence was just too tight

We could have a nap 'cause you were fricking crap

You could have played, played, played all night

You could have played all night, till it was getting light

And still you wunt have scored

We could have closed our eyes and that's not telling lies

And not got on the board

Your attack was so abysmal, you could have done with Ian Wright

We could have had a w**k, you'd still have drawn a blank

If you had played, played, played all night

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps we'll sing it at the next match if we're all awake.

Well, it's another busy week for the South Stand Choral Society. By popular request we have put together a few verses for our more high profile players and I just hope that we can all remember the words and the importance of singing them in the correct order.

The tune if you know it and want to join in is one that our older members remember singing at school..." Bobby Shafto "

David Prutton's got long hair,

Looks like Jesus but we don't care

He plays with bite and he plays with flair

That's our David Prutton.

Nicky Weaver big and strong

Can stop your shots all day long

Think you can beat him you'd be wrong

That's our Nicky Weaver.

Lewis Buxton lean and mean

Compromise is not his scene

He's a winger destroying machine

Thats our Lewis Buxton

Julian Bennett knows no fear

Throws the ball just like a spear

Can reach the far post never mind the near

That's our Julian Bennett

Jose Semedo runs all day

He's in your face and there he'll stay

If you come too close he'll make you pay

That's our Jose Semedo

Robbie Jones has got no hair

It all fell out but he don't care

You'll never beat him in the air

That's our big Robbie Jones

Jermaine Johnson fast as light

In full flow what a sight

He aint half deadly when he gets it right

That's our Jermaine Johnson

Gary Madine slim and tall

Will score goals if he gets the ball

He'll show his critics they know sod all

That's our Gary Madine

Chris O'Grady cool as ice

Can grab a goal in a trice

Worth his fee at twice the price

Thats our Chris O'Grady

I'm sure we'll get to sing this at at least 1 match this season

Well it finally happened, yes we kept a clean sheet and so a few minutes before the final whistle I went round the members of the South Stand choir just to make sure that the majority were awake and to remind them of what we would be singing at the final whistle. The whistle blew for full time and we all stood up, well most of us, and started pointing at the Exeter supporters and were just about to launch into " You could have played all night " when an almighty rumpus started just behind me and I turned around to see old Smithers wrestling with one of the stewards who evidently mistook his speaking trumpet for one of those vuvuzela thingies and tried to confiscate it. By the time everything had calmed down and we were ready again all the Exeter supporters had gone to catch their coach home. Well never mind there's always next time.
