The Lions sleep tonight? : )

At short notice this is the best I can conjure at the moment!!

What's it all about, Rik E
is it just for the moment we live

what's it all about
when you sort it out, Rik E
are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?

and if, if only fools are kind, Rik E
then I guess it is wise to be cruel
and if life belongs only to the strong, Rik E
what will you lend on an old golden rule?

as sure as I believe there's a heaven above
Rik E, I know there's something much more
something even non-believers can believe in

i believe in Lions, Rik E
without true Lions we just exist, Rik E
until you find the Lions you've missed
you're nothing, Rik E

when you walk
let your heart lead the way
and you'll find Lions any day
Rik E
oh Rik E
what's it all about Rik E?

What tune is that sung to? If it's a take off of a song that is released after 1978 then I've got no idea...but I guess you knew that already ha ha.

REB

Yeah after 78 I think REB to the tune of "Alfie"

But here's another for you

The Tigers send signals
From the rocks above the pass
The Hawks take positions
In the bushes and the grass
The Pies are with the corporal
Tied against the tree
They don’t mind the language
It’s the beatings' that their pet peeve
Demons let loose all the horses
When the corporal is asleep
And Bombers wakes to find the fire’s dead
And the Blues have stole their hat
And Rik E Boy rides around
And says it’s cool for cats
It's Cool for Cats

The Saints are doing ninety
’cos they’ve got the word to go
They get a gang of villains
In a shed up at Telstra Dome
The Dogs are counting fivers
When the handcuffs lock again
In and out of the wooden spoon spot
With the numbers on their names
It’s funny how their Board
Always look the bleeding same
And meanwhile at the MCG
There’s a couple of likely lads
Who swear like how’s your father
And they’re very cool for cats
They’re cool for cats

To change the mood a little
Shane's been posing down the pub
On seeing his reflection
Agrees he's looking slightly rough
Ya fancy this, Ya fancy that
Ya wanna be so flash
Lions give a little muscle
And spend a little cash
But all we get is bitter and a media mishmash
And by the time we're losin'
REB's sticking us in the back
And ev’rybody tells me that it’s cool to be a cat
Cool for cats

Shake up at the Gabba
And we think we've got a go
We hang up all our pennants
And we bring those Cups home
After we've won it three times
And bought that Cup home
All the bloody Victorian's
Do nothing much but moan
We said we'd see you later
And we meant every word
So see you at the MCG
Come September's end
When it’s cool for cats
It’s cool for cats

We are from Tigerland
An 80s throwback we're from Tigerland
Before each season we still spout the same old rot
'Bout how we're so crash hot
They bounce the ball, we do sod all
Another coach gets shot
O we're from Tigerland
We're still fighting all the battles we lost twenty years ago
We might think we're just great
In fact we're barely third rate
O we're from Tiger....(Bring Hafey back!)
We're from Ti...ger...land!

LOL. Nice work Luce. I sent that song to a Carlton supporting friend of mine after recent win against them but his reply only contained...."1995"

OUCH!!

regards,

REB

PS - You've posted that Tigerland thing before Fred and as any Catter knows, there's no prize for second :)

...still gold but.

I racked my brains to equal your task, I thought of Black Sabbath and Cream and Pink Floyd but settled on this - fire up the band.

Lions vs the Victorians (Snoopy vs The Red Baron)

After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over the MCG
Came a roar and a thunder of men
Like the scream and the sound of Collingwood beaten again

Up on the dais, a man with the Cup
Michael B Voss was his name
Many teams tried, and many teams lost
Now they're buried together out of the Eight

Chorus: Ten, twenty, thirty, years fifty or more
Fifteen teams died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Brisbane Lions at the MCG

In the nick of time, a ***ker arose
A media mogul with a big bank roll
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Lions shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"

Chorus: Ten, twenty, thirty, years fifty or more
Fifteen teams died tryin' to even the score
Of the Brisbane Lions heading for four

Now, Mr Ed swore that he'd get that Cup
So he asked the Great Greek for a new battle plan
He challenged Lethal Leigh to a real dog fight
While the Lions were playing, he got them in his sight.

The Brisbane Lions were in a fix
They tried everything, but Eddie had a bigger bag of tricks
Eddie fired once, and he fired twice
But the Brisbane Lions spun out of sight

Chorus: Ten, twenty, thirty, years fifty or more
Fifteen teams died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Brisbane Lions at the MCG

Chorus: Ten, twenty, thirty, years fifty or more
Fifteen teams died tryin' to even the score
Of the Brisbane Lions heading for four

'Michael B Voss'

So Michael has the same middle name as that comedian, Kevin Wilson?

Almost, I didn't put it in full because it's revolting (Bruce!!!!) I think Bloody would be better. Ah well someone that good has to have a downside and now we know what it is - it's not his knee at all!!! lol

Chimp chick. Your record collection must be worse than the 1995 Grand Final LOL.

regards,

REB

Now REB I think my record collection is superb! It's diverse, eclectic, wide ranging and unique!
