| I've post this before, (did no good like  ) last few lines need tweaking, someone suggested change it to rape and pledge  and then changed it to something else but I can't remember who or what 
Is this the way to Amarillo (LSV)?
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
When the day is dawning,
On a Leythers Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With the team who plays for me there
Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Ain’t as half as pretty,
As where the Leythers at
Is this the way to Leigh Sports village?
Every night I’ve been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of our village
And the team who plays me
Show me the way to Leigh Sports Village
We’ll have you weeping like a willow
Crying over our Village
And the team that plays for me
Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la

 I did say I'd posted it before, 
How about the Floyd one then? or the Proclaimers 500 miles? sure they sing "Im a Leyther, I'm a Leyther, nah, nah, nah, nah, nar, nar,"

Flute song alternate
When i was young i had some sense
I bought a flute for twenty pense
The only tune that i could play
was we are Leigh Rugby
And we're here to stay
nananana Leigh etc...

Bolton by birth,
Irish by blood,
LEYTHER by heart and soul!!
[quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3]
[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

Surely the point is to move away from The Flute Song.........whenever anyone tried to sing your version, the 'lunatic fringe' would sing the old lyrics, and we'd be back to square one - painted in a bad light by opposition fans, and the RFL!!
I've kind of lost touch with 'The Hit Parade' these days!! (Radio5 or Radio Manchester when I'm in the car most of the time!) Is there not some catchy, anthemic song currently riding high in the charts that could be adapted?? I suppose the real trick is to find a tune that no other fans use, and make it synonymous (sp?) with Leigh. |

The problem with all theses suggestions (Except the Small Faces one) is that we're not creating a unique club anthem there, we're just nicking someone elses idea.
Chumbawumba's 'Tubthumping' seems appropriate to me at the moment.

How about "On top of the world" by The Carpenters
We're on the top of the world
Now we've escaped relegation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the coach we've found
And a stonking great "new" ground
And it's put us on top of the world..
Apologies to the late Karen C...

Just one BIG flaw with these lyrics - we are NOT here to stay - we are here to GO UP   |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Like Fax adopting
" my sex [ the Fax ] is [ are ] on fire ", for some reason when I hear the original I always start thinking " You need to get down to the doctors mate " |
