old scouser tommy

[allez les rouges]

just watching lft tv. Its a program dedicated to the 89 cup final. there is a camera in the dressing room after the match. the players are singing old scouser tommy!!! even the end bit!! quality

[Gray - YPC]

Never heard of that song...

[charlie clown]

he was shot by an old nasty gun

[The Mighty Kemlyn]

did they sing Arabian or Libyan?

[Guest Ant]

Did we beat the biscuits for a laugh and left them feeling red?

[johngibo YPC]

He was old, but at least he had his wealth

[allez les rouges]

He was old, but at least he had his wealth

 

aye, but poor and in a far foreign land though.

[Guest Phil Eel]

Never heard of that song...

 

That comment tells you how far we have slipped from the olden days of constant singing from the Kop

If that's irony then it's inspired.

 

I suspect however it isn't.

[Reds4Life]

For me... and I did ask RTK about this...

 

Just after YNWA... if we got Old Scouser Tommy up and running... and I mean singing it, not the 160bpm version for the rave scene... this would intimidate the f*** out of any supporters...

 

It's a song that when it gets passed down from Grandad to Dad to son, you want to learn all the words to...

 

As he lay on the battlefield dying dying dying

With the blood gushing out of his 'ed

As he lay on the battlefield dying dying dying

These were the last words he said....

 

OOOOOOHHHHHHHH IIIIIIII AM A LIVERPUDLIAN....

 

All together now!!!

 

YNWA

[Mike]

wow.

we never knew.

[Leroy]

(Sung to the tune of "Red River Valley" and "The Sash")

 

Let me tell you the story of a poor boy

Who was sent far away from his home

To fight for his king and his country

And also the old folks back home

 

So they put him in a Highland division

Sent him off to a far foreign land

Where the flies swarm around in their thousands

And there's nothing to see but the sands

 

In a battle that started next morning

Under a Libyan sun

I remember that poor Scouser Tommy

Who was shot by an old Nazi gun

 

As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)

With the blood gushing out of his head (of his head)

As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)

These were the last words he said...

 

Oh...I am a Liverpudlian

I come from the Spion Kop

I like to sing, I like to shout

I get thrown out quite a lot (every week)

 

We support the team that's dressed in red

A team that we all know

A team that we call Liverpool

And to glory we will go

 

We've won the League, we've won the Cup

We've been to Europe too

We played the Toffees for a laugh

And we left them feeling blue - Five Nil !

 

One two

One two three

One two three four

Five nil !

 

Rush scored one

Rush scored two

Rush scored three

And Rush scored four!

 

All you need is Rush

All you need is Rush

All you need is Rush, Rush

Rush is all you need

[Mike]

time for a newbies forum i think chaps.

[Reds4Life]

FFS Mike..

 

If people who are new to the club and want to learn about the club, why can't we help them??

 

If Tommy is a song they love (and for f***ing good reason) then why can't we help them...

 

When was the last time you heard it sung properly and when was the best time you heard it being sung?

 

That's the sort of info these lads want to learn about...

Exactly Reds4Life, been going to Anfield since 1958 love telling the youngsters what it used to be like

[Reds4Life]

Ta Redden..

 

If we are the best supporters in the world at least we can f***ing act like it!!

 

First time I was at Anfield was the year after the treble... against Oxford United... with Ray Houghton and a certain John Aldridge in their team... when I was 4.

 

Heard Tommy getting belted out while I was in the Kop and wanted to learn it the whole way home so the next time I got taken I could sing along...

[stressederic]

It's all becoming a touch surreal...

[johngibo YPC]

This is the most bizarre thread ever

[pipnasty]

f*** this - I'm off to bed, I just can't cope anymore

[Mike]

sing yourself to sleep lads

[johngibo YPC]

f*** this - I'm off to bed, I just can't cope anymore

 

I'm staying up to see Gray's reaction to being called everything thats wrong with the modern day Liverpool fan!!

[owenthomas]

It's all becoming a touch surreal...

after virtually every thread on here making me feel depressed over the last few months i, for one, am glad for this education.. and i hope people leave them to educate further as i - probably like you, Mike and, for sure, Gray - need this thread for the beacon of shining light it's putting upon us..

 

please, no-one spoil it*..

 

*note: Gray has every right to mind!
