It works as a stand alone song if just singing the chorus.

 

But also, I've thought long and hard about the lyrics and I think I've come up with an Oldham version. Took a while, hopefully it's not so complicated it puts people off. As doggy suggested, to the tune of Air that I breathe by the hollies...

 

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe

And the Oldham

All I need is the air that I breathe

Yes The Oldham

All I need is the air that I breathe

Perfect. Simple, catchy and you can hurl your lungs into it. Also no-one else sings it, it'd be ours. Come on Athleticos, pull your fingers out.

 

Woof.

In fairness to the Athleticos, as much as I don't like what they do, they've taken the initiative to step up to the plate.

 

That song is better than anything new from the past year but it won't get sung without yourself or others doing it...

Can't believe no one has suggested the re recording of boys in blue.

 

Everything else would just feel fake and adopted. This is our anthem. Problem is it sound a little dated now. Someone needs to do a cover version. I'm sure there is a local band or group yet to be discovered by the masses who who would do it for next to nowt

Other Oldham/manc based acts with relevant songs to amend:

 

M people - sIght for sore eyes or moving on up

 

D:Ream (coxy) - things can only get better

 

Lisa stansfield - change

 

Simply Red - money's too tight to mention / fairground

 

N trance - set you free

 

The day we start adjusting the words to this :censored:e is the day I lose it and go on a GTA style killing rampage.

I was going to suggest James brown... " I feel good", but wasn't he arrested for perving on women in his club?

 

How about a bit of Barry white, " your my first, my last, my everything...."

 

Didn't we have a thread on this several months ago?

 

Edit, from another thread from a line...what a difference a manager makes, well I don't know who sings the song a lady but we could adapt it..." What a difference a day (manager) makes, 24 little hours, what a difference a day(manager) makes...and the difference is you (Sheridan)...

In all seriousness, it would be a disgusting display of negligence if we didn't have this as a song, or the adaption of Common People.

 

Somebody, anybody, sing it at Scunthorpe...

Give us some lyrics, I'll give it a go.

 

Also, Ant Gerrard Gerrard, he's big and he's f***king hard

We took him to a supermarket

I don't know why but we had to start it somewhere, so it started there.

We told him that we had no money, he just laughed and said you're so funny.

I don't care. I'll bring Matty Palmer here.

 

I'm blaming it on the tiredness. Anyone else finish it off/start it anew?

Are you sure?

At this stage, I think it should be firmly established that it is Shezurrection rather than Shezerection.

Whilst 5he later is possibly understandable, and a symptom of the former, there is clearly a prominent difference.....

 

 

People mistakenly typing Shezerection in public may was well be wandering around in public such an aroused state....!

Since I saw Shezurrection I find nyself singing the line He makes light if this dull Dull day and then open out to We all need a Shez Resurrection in full glory.

To myself of course.

It even contains a line about [OASIS] barren land!

Probably just me...!
