Right,
we know the season is just about over and perhaps we should have
done this earlier but the time has come for Mags to make a solemn
confession - our songs are shite. Every now and again we come up
with a belter (the hokey-cokey-Shola and Sunday, Monday, Habib Beye
job which alas doesn't get sung at all at home)
but more often than not we're knocking out some of the same tunes we
did in the 70s or chuntering along to the lamentable "Toon, Toon,
Black & White Army!" or shamefully singing the wrong words to the
Blaydon Races, for crying out
loud. We can't rely on the Mackems going down next season to give us
some new songs
to take the piss either.
We
have to get our act together. The likes of Man Utd are taking the
piss out of our repertoire and whilst we all know the buzz of a good
side kick-starts the creative juices we are Newcastle United for
God's sake - the club with a solid working class identity and a
responsibility to offer something to football culture than what we
are currently. Lads and lasses, what we're doing currently is a poor
show.
Just consider it, players like Shearer and now Michael Owen don't
have unique songs sung in their honour. Its piss poor.
So what are you, we - going to do about it?
What we'd like you to do is get your thinking caps on and get your
new songs for the match to us - I don't think SJP could cope with
concept album type match somgs so we think they shoild be short,
punchy and a bit funny. Is there any chance we could song along to
something which isn't Go West by the Pet Shop boys as well.
Get all your new stuff to us at
editor@true-faith.co.uk and we'll get them all online with
the best 'uns progressing into the first issue of true faith next
season (whhoo big deal eh?)
Keep On, Keepin' On ...
