from ChatGPTLeaburn's Lights"
(To the tune of "Blinding Lights")
[Chorus]
Leaburn's lights, he's running fast,
Chasing dreams that always last,
From the box, he’s breaking through,
Charlton’s hero, that’s Leaburn, it’s true![Verse 1]
He’s got the skill, he’s got the pace,
A deadly strike, you can’t erase,
Charlton’s pride, he’s born to lead,
Leaburn’s here, he’s what we need![Chorus]
Leaburn's lights, he’s running fast,
Chasing dreams that always last,
From the box, he’s breaking through,
Charlton’s hero, that’s Leaburn, it’s true![Outro]
He’s our star, he’s shining bright,
Miles Leaburn, he’s taking flight!4 -
Just walked past some ‘yoof’ at Eltham station singing it.
Looooks like it’s going to stick for a while you bunch of grumpy old bastards.1 -
Don’t think it’s a case of being miserable (though by an amazing coincidence, I’m proper miserable).
Football chants (not songs) should have an element where at least some point of a chant gets sung / shouted louder than other bits. Proper give it full beans and clear the throat. Or if not, it’s at a slower place and simple with few words.This Campbell copy is sung relatively fast in a low pitched tone that doesn’t rise. So it doesn’t really travel round the stands and from a distance sounds like a mumble. If he scored tonight they’ll be a couple of hundred around the drummer flogging it to death for five mins, but outside that, they’ll be no proper post goal celebration chants going round the ground. That’s why We’re on the way, and ole ole ole, Amazing Grace Charlton are always the loudest because they have higher shout moments that draw everyone else in,
plus it sounds shit, he’s not Brazilian or Latin American, we’re in Saff London where it’s pretty devoid of swaying samba rhythms and dancing fans.
Told you I was proper miserable:-(9 -

I love it when a new song/chant pops up and everyone starts c*nting it off! Sweet jesus, let the kids do their thing and get behind the team. Every song is stolen and always has been. Good to have an atmosphere, surely?8

Well it’s a blooming earworm whatever it is - haven’t got rid of it since Saturday!2

Only disappointment tonight is we didn’t sing something for Macaulay Gillesphy to one of Alysha Dixon’s popular rap segways in Mis-Teeq’s classic garage track All I Want.Hopefully Palace will come up with something soon for us to copy

'You'll never make the station'
Short, sweet and train themed. Perfect for us.
As Croydon says, the wordy chants don't improve the atmosphere. Keep it short and simple.2 - Sponsored links:

Totally agree about wordy songs being crap for the atmosphere. The 'Super Clive Mendonca' song was perfect - three words, good tune and everyone can sing it. If you have to go online to ask for the words to a song, it's a shit song.4

Super, super Mac, super Mac Gillesphey?4

Recently someone started ’Give it Up’ by KC &tSB and that’s really caught on.
All you have to do is take an 80s hits compilation and you’d gets loads of similar ideas. For example:
Take on Me - for a 3 syllable name ending with the ’e’ sound
Don’t you want me: for a 4 syllable name ending with the ’e’ sound
Wake me up before you go go - for an 8 syllable name ending with the ’o’ sound
Then you can look at the Motown hits
I’m willing to bet that I could make a chant for every player in a team within a month. Some would just be the name, others would work with the line before or following.
I have to do something similar with whole songs in order to teach pronunciation - this would be easy in comparison. The problem is that I doubt anyone would actually sing my suggestions.

Sat in the east stand last night (normally in the north upper) and the noise from the north upper was louder than i expected - particularly at the end with the ole ole ole song - the 'composition' of that tune is bang on for a football chant and has been around for a number of years now because it works - same with 'since i was young' which is really from the CP era. The test of a truly great football song is if it sticks around and although i don't have a problem with it, i suspect the sway song will be a one season wonder. The one i'd like to see consigned to the dump is 'cafc, we hate millwall, cafc we hate millwall' - don't disagree with the sentiment but what an absolute bender of a shit song. 'Stand up if you love...' is also cringe. There's a few other shockers but can't think of them right now.0

Would like to see an attempt to get the east and the west stand involved in a bit of a 'we are the H block, we are the L block and so on type thing - nothing wrong with a bit of a monotonous one that builds - could start in the north and go to a couple of blocks in the west and east - for a bit of 'fun' - better than the mexican wave and might just get some singing sections together in other stands2

The speed that VFR was sung last night was mental, it was like there was a race to get it finished.2

Take an old football related song like "Life of Riley" by the Lightening seeds that everyone knows the tune to and change the words...
Trouble is the words bit is where I don't have a clue...! The actual lyrics are...
"So here's your life (here's your life)We'll find our wayWe're sailing blindBut it's certain nothing's certainI don't mindI get the feelingYou'll be fineI still believe thatIn this worldWe've got to find the timeFor the life of Riley"3 -

At last! We're finally at that glorious stage where there's so little to moan about on the pitch we start moaning about useless stuff like songs. Get in there5

I still can't figure out our version of the Everywhere we go" song. Are the last two lines "Let's show our boys, Let's show our boys" That's what I hear and if it's that, it's a bit naff.2
