We need a song

Where are the clowns

Lyrics
isn't it rich?
Our form's in the bin,
Dalman's in Monaco
Vincent won’t fly in…
Ken is in London
Selling second hand cars
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
Tan's watching golf swings,
While we fail to move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when we hoped
That we’d play the youth,
We sell them off cheap,
And ignore the truth.
One’s sold to Leeds,
And others gone too
Academy dreams?
What did they do?

Isn't it fun?
Dropping like stones,
No real direction,
Just boardroom woes
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns...
Don’t bother we have them here

Joe Cocker: With a Little Help from my Friends [Vocal starts after 1 min.]

Re: Send in the Clowns ...

Well done. Now could you imagine it if fans actually sang that first verse at games?

Design For Life wouldn't be too bad

Swap out "her" for "his" and there's a ready made chant about Vincent

Probably better off not singing the actual chorus of that one mind...

Everybody Hurts by REM would get the crowd ready for the game.

But they don’t sing Mull of Kintyre, they use the MOK tune adapted to their own lyrics about their ground “City Ground”.
They used to run out to a terrible tune about Robin Hood, but it got replaced, due to fan pressure to the MOK / City Ground song some years ago.

Not a bad shout.

Always remember this song being played every week at Ninian Park in the early 60’s

I’m sure some geek on here could come up with new lyrics

Things like a hoof in the dark,
Things like we miss every mark,
Things like we can't defend—
Still, we'll follow 'til the end!

Chorus:
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba!
We are City, proud and true!
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba!
Still turn up whatever we do!
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba!
Singin’ loud in white and blue—
We’re the Bluebirds, through and through!

Or you can change the last two lines to
Singing loudly in blue and white
But Tan and his clowns are nowhere in sight
