    What are the words to this song.

    My son was asking the same question this afternoon.
  • What are the words to this song.

    Lee Bowyer had a dream
    to build a football team
    He had no money
    so had to get them on loan
    He built from the back
    Lyle Taylor in attach
    we're Charlton Athletic
    We're on our way back


    Some prefer to drop the "Lyle"

    Its been nicked from the Wendies, but it is a damn good song

    Had this on another thread, it's not this. It's:

    Bowyer had a dream, To build a football team

    He had no money so signed the frees and the loans

    With Pearce at the back. Taylor in attaaaack.

    We're Charlton Athletic, we're on our way back
    .

    Very minor differences but you'll see it flows better.

    Except lyrics are lyrics.

    And 'Lyle Taylor in attack' doesn't fit, at all.

    We may not be ‘on the way back’

    But it definitely feels like it.

    Oh Charlton we love you...

    Its hard to trace any song back so many teams sing the same songs now.

    Look at Since I was young how many teans now sing that(think that originated from a scottish team)

    Motherwell I think? They probably pinched it off a European team though, most songs with a lot of drumming and singing without words have an ultra origin

    Simon and Garfunkles song feeling groovy

    Slow down, you move too fast
    You got to make the 90 minutes last
    Kicking towards the covered end
    Scoring goals and all is groovy

    Hello horse, what cha knowing?
    I've come to watch Lee Bowyers team growing
    Kicking towards the covered end
    Scoring goals and all is groovy.

    Two beats too long in the second line of first verse....(take out the word 90).
    Same problem in second line of second verse.....two beats too many.....take out the word Bowyer and change Lee to Lee’s).
    Otherwise quite a good effort.....but one cannot put in extra words/beats as it totally destroys the flow and coupling of words with beats.
    Sorry to be so pedantic sg.

    I must admit I did consider these extra beats when initially toying with the lyrics but got all confused and thought sod it. I also doubt whether the Cupboard Enders will know the tune or this will go any further than this thread. But thanks for your comment.

    I like to think that we invented the chant: "Red Army" though not to mention we were the first to chant "C.A.F.C" regardless of what those bloody Crewe fans sing!! ;)
