for_heaven's_Saint Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 That song has always annoyed me before games but when everyone sang along it sounded pretty great. I thought to myself at the time- this song is going to be remembered for this moment for the rest of my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Hairs stood up on the back of my neck a few times during the run up & the match not to mention during the celebrations afterwards. 'All Southampton FC' sung by all of the crowd was one that even got to the tear ducts after the third goal - I just stood there thinking how far we've come & how close we came.... Marcus, Nicola, Alan Pardew & the team - I salute you - thank you for bringing so much happiness to an old boy & his son....both 'New' Wembley virgins & only one of us old enough to remember the last time we won a Wembley final.

Ken Tone Posted 29 March, 2010 Share Posted 29 March, 2010 Anyone notice the lyrics were different? No. As far as I can tell, the lyrics always are "the saints are coming " about 4 times , followed by ".....something ,something, something else," far too quick to hear with the human ear. But it's a good song for us to adopt whatever the lyrics. ;-) K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrics to The Saints Are Coming : I cried to my daddy on the telephone how long now Until the clouds unroll and you come home the line went But the shadows still remain since your descent your descent The saints are coming, the saints are coming No matter how I try, I realise there's no reply The saints are coming, the saints are coming A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief How long now Until a weather change condemns belief The stone says This paternal guide once had his day Once had his day The saints are coming, the saints are coming No matter how I try, I realise there's no reply The saints are coming, the saints are coming [ The Saints Are Coming Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 31 March, 2010 Share Posted 31 March, 2010 Lead singer of the Skids wrote it when he was 16 I believe. It's about his mate who went off in the army and died in the Irish troubles I think, and left a child behind. Great song, the original I mean, the U2/Greengay version is sh!t. No reason why we couldn't get it going as a terrace chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 31 March, 2010 Share Posted 31 March, 2010 Like others have said, it was a spine tingling moment, but not simply for the wall of noise but with the sheer intensity of how it was sung, it simply came out as a massive statement of intent. Watch out the world of football, The Saints are Coming. We are on the way back. Another awesome moment in an awesome day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Halo* Posted 31 March, 2010 Share Posted 31 March, 2010 Can't see why the "The Saints Are Coming" can't translate into a decent terrace song... "The Saints Are Coming, The Saints Are Coming... clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap, The Saints Are Coming" Agreed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLT3PfNlIfA Ignore the slow start of the song, and pick up at the 40 second mark. Replace the lyrics with: We will follow you through thick and thin, Southampton... and we'll sing our hearts out lose draw or win, Southampton... 'cos the Red and White, means everything, Southampton... clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap... The Saints, are coming... The Saints, are coming... and no matter how you try, there is nowhere for you to hide, The Saints, are coming... The Saints, are coming... and no matter how you try, there is nowhere for you to hide, The Saints! Swiftly followed with the usual: clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap clap clap, The Saints!

jasonb Posted 5 April, 2010 Share Posted 5 April, 2010 This should be played in the last few minutes before the players exit the tunnel at every home game. I love the way ManU run out to 'This is the One' by the Stone Roses... gets everyone up for it. However - at no other point during the game should music be used.

Huffton Posted 5 April, 2010 Share Posted 5 April, 2010 Slightly off on a tangent, but does anyone remember in the early days of the Premiership we played Man U at the Dell. THink it was the first televised prem game at the Dell or something. Anyway Sky had rigged up loads of speakers all hanging off the upper tiers, and Curiosity Killed the Cat were brought on at half time to sing there latest single or something. All I really remember is the entire crowd drowning them out with a rousing chant of 'who the f*uckin 'ell are you'. Must have sounded brilliant on tv :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
