Lyrics that remind you of Latics.


Recommended Posts

I'm having a morning dedicated to listening to music. A song jumped out at me which I can equate to being a Latics fan for nearly 30 years. There must be loads of songs out there with lyrics that remind you of being a Latics fan. C'mon, give me yours.

 

I'll set it rolling, from The Desperate Things You Made Me Do by The Magnetic Fields.

 

Time provides the rope

But love will tie the slipknot

And I will be the chair you kick away

You don't even like anything you like

Or the people you know

And all of your reasons to stay alive died

 

(Chorus): I dedicate this song to you

For all the desperate things you made me do

I'd like to beat you black and blue

For all the agony you have put me through

Spent some times in stormy weather

Under clouds of my dilemma

Now there's nothing much to do

But sit and rot in front of televisions

Staring back at me

I'm just waiting for the microwaves

To wash me into the sea

 

You know they don't give a f**k about anybody else!

 

SFA!

Slightly changed to fit but here is a bit of The Smiths

 

I was looking for a club and then I found a club

and heaven knows I'm misserable now

Something Iis Squeezing My Skull - Morrissey

Especially 1st and last verse!

 

I'm doing very well

I can blackout the present and the past now

I know by now you think I should have straightened myself out

Thank you good day

 

Oh, something is squeezing my skull

Something I just cannot describe

There is no love in modern life

 

I'm doing very well

It's a miracle I've made it even this far

The motion of taxi's excite me

Feel it, but not rightly

 

Oh, something is squeezing my skull

Something I just cannot describe

There is no love in modern life

 

Oh, something is squeezing my skull

Something I cant fight

There are no friends in modern life

 

Diazapam...valium...tarmazpam...lithium

ECT...HRT...How long must I stay on this stuff?

 

Please don't give me more...(repeat)

Or... to the people who constantly put the club we love down to their friends, family and fellow fans - both stayaways and waiverers.

 

ONE DAY GOODBYE WILL BE FAIRWELL

 

Always be careful when you abuse the one you love

the hour or the day no one can tell

but one day "goodbye" will be "farewell"

and you will never see the one you love again

you will never see the one you love again

I have been thinking

("What with?")

my final brain-cell

how Time grips you slyly in its spell

and, before you know, goodbye will be farewell

and you will never see the one you love again

and the smiling children tell you that you smell

well, just look at me - a savage beast -

I've got nothing to sell

and when I die I want to go to hell

and that's when goodbye should be farewell

Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta

Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta

Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta

Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta-ta

One day "goodbye" will be "farewell"

so grab me while we still have the time

 

Morrissey

Artist: The Beatles Lyrics

 

 

 

Help, I need somebody,

Help, not just anybody,

Help, you know I need someone, help.

 

When I was younger, so much younger than today,

I never needed anybody's help in any way.

But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,

Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

 

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.

Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

Won't you please, please help me?

 

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,

My independence seems to vanish in the haze.

But every now and then I feel so insecure,

I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

 

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.

Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

Won't you please, please help me.

 

When I was younger, so much younger than today,

I never needed anybody's help in any way.

But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,

Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

 

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.

Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

Morrissey

 

Ace. I could think of tons of Morrissey/Smiths lyrics which transfers over to being a Latics fan.

 

All men have secrets and here is mine

So let it be known

For we have been through hell and high tide

I think I can rely on you ...

And yet you start to recoil

Heavy words are so lightly thrown

But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

Could be a Message from TTA and Oldham Athletic FC

 

ALL YOU NEED IS ME - MORRISSEY

 

You hiss and groan and you constantly moan

but you don't ever go away

and that's because all you need is me

you roll your eyes up to the skies

mock horrified - but you're still here

because all you need is me

 

there's so much destruction

all over the world

and all you can do is

complain about me

 

you bang your head against the wall and say you're sick of it all

yet you remain 1

'cause all you need is me

and then you offer your one-and-only

joke and you ask me what will I be

when I grow up to be a man

me? nothing...

 

there's a soft voice singing in your head

who can this be? 2

I do believe it's me

there's a naked man standing laughing in your dreams

you know who it is

but you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction

all over the world

and all you can do is 3

complain about me

 

You don't like me but you love me

either way, you're wrong

you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You don't like me but you love me

either way, you're wrong

you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

LAST ONE NOW - FOR A WHILE....

 

Life Is A Pigsty - Morrissey

 

It's the same old S.O.S.

But with brand new broken fortunes

And once again I turn to you

Once again I do I turn to you

 

It's the same old S.O.S.

But with brand new broken fortunes

I'm the same underneath

But this you, you surely knew

 

Life is a pigsty

Life is a pigsty

Life is a pigsty

Life is a pigsty

Life, life is a pigsty

Life, life is a pigsty

Life, life is a pigsty

Life is a pigsty

 

And if you don't know this

Then what do you know?

Every second of my life I only live for you

And you can shoot me

And you can throw me off a train

I still maintain

I still maintain

 

Life, life is a pigsty

Life is a pigsty

And I'd been shifting gears all along my life

But I'm still the same underneath

This you surely knew

 

I can't reach you

I can't reach you

I can't reach you anymore

Can you please stop time?

Can you stop the pain?

I feel too cold

And now I feel too warm again

 

Can you stop this pain?

Can you stop this pain?

Even now in the final hour of my life

I'm falling in love again

Again

 

Even now in the final hour of my life

I'm falling in love again

Again

Again

Again

 

I'm falling in love again

Again

Again

Again

 

Over to Takemeanywhere for your thoughts...

Life goes on by the Damned. A song that sounds that has a thoroughly depressing feel (thats the latics bit), but is still inspiring and motivating (like latics used to be). Captain Sensible at his absolute finest. As Nirvana proved with Come as you are (same riff), the Damned were often ripped off, but never improved upon.

Life goes on and on and on

If you think it's all gone wrong

Go on and on and on

 

Life's a con a con a con

If you think you can't go on

Go on and on and on

 

But always remember

This is the happiest day of your life

 

Life goes on and on and on

If you think it's al gone wrong

Go on and on and on

 

Life's a con a con a con

If you think you can't go on

Go on and on and on

 

And as the years they move along

I see it now, there's something wrong

'Cos life is for always

Take your time

Who cares what fools say

I don't mind

'Cos this is my day

I'll live it my way

Today, there's just today

 

Life goes on and on and on

If you think it's al gone wrong

Go on and on and on

 

Life's a con a con a con

If you think you can't go on

Go on and on and on

Here's another Magnetic Fields lyric (seeing I'm listening to them all morning). Yeah, Oh Yeah!.

 

Are you out of love with me?

Are you longing to be free?

Do I drive you up a tree?

Yeah! Oh, yeah!

 

Never really listened to Magnetic Fields MrShankly, name an album for me to listen to first. I'm always up for new (to me) bands.. Cheers

Try "Get Lost" first, a 1996 album which I think is pretty much fantastic from start to finish. Brilliant hooks, electronic beats and ace lyrics. Then once you're happy with that most certainly get Stephin Merritt's (he is the Magnetic Fields) opus; "69 Love Songs"; a 3 CD collection of songs about all facets of love released in 1999. You're best going for this second as there's a bit of filler on there, but 40-odd brilliant songs at least.

 

Here's some You Tube links too (Could a mod embed these please?)

 

 

 

I Think I Need A New Heart (Taken From 69 Love Songs)

 

 

 

Stephin Merritt has made about ten albums so far, plus stuff under different names. Have a read up on him, he's a pretty fascinating character. Oh, and if you do like the Magnetic Fields, I implore you to try and get a ticket for their Manchester Cathedral concert in March. Very rare when they play the UK, and the sublime setting of a cathedral for their songs is going to be mindblowing.

 

Sorry, I went on a bit didn't I?

On Penney Lane there is a manager showing photographs

Of every Town reject he's had the pleasure to sign

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say ‘Oh no’

 

Between the sticks is a Keeper with a friendly boss

The little children laugh at him behind his back

And the keeper never comes for a cross

Hides behind his wall...

Another goal

 

Penney Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue Athletic skies

I sit, and meanwhile back

 

In Penney Lane there is a striker with bright white teeth

And in his pocket is a portrait of Jade Goody.

He likes to keep his dentures clean

He’s a one on one machine

 

Trumpet Solo

 

Penney Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

Four of chicken balti pies

In summer, meanwhile back

 

Behind the strikers in the middle of the field

A bunch of players battle for position

And though they give the ball to the opposition

He stick with them

 

In Penny Lane the Manager praises another draw

We see the keeper picking the ball from his net

Then the striker doesn’t look at all interested

What a bore...

No score

 

Penney Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue Athletic skies

I sit, and meanwhile back

Penney Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the blue Athletic skies...

Penney Lane.

 

 

I think the pentameter might be a little out.

+1 (well sort of, I'd only take a bullet for my kids really)
