Terrace Songs

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

There's few on here that could be adapted:

Something truly unique to our club and to our fans.
Do we have any traditional anthems though? I hate to admit it too but 'Bubbles' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' are both great songs. I wish we had something similar...

If American showtunes pass as "traditional scouse" then I think we've got quite a large scope for picking our own "tradition".
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Aye, and Irish potato famines haven't much to do with Fields of Anfield Road either.

Surely somebody could put some modern lyrics to this, the fifties Bolton anthem, THE HAPPY WANDERER:

Well now then Robinson
Petrov's in trouble again, ain't he?
I thought as much.
Cos you stood over there
Pointing at people, screaming, before kicking at thin air.

And you don't
laugh or joke around
When Martin don't track back or merely lays down on the ground
You always
Have to have your say
Because you'd probably maim everyone just to get your own way

Your always
argumentative
when you've got Petrov on.
Ha, like it, nicely done.
Everything but the game: Because it's not just a game, it's a way of life.

Think we should refrain from any Munich comments. It is beneath us. It's o.k. to hate a team, and Man U are as good a team to hate as any but a tragedy is not something to ridicule. Also you might end up not being able to go to the final as a result.

Put words to (K)Nights in White Satin and keep it as our anthem. Could be powerful.

The thought of trying to get 27,000 Bolton fans to sing anything much, other than stuff we already sing(!?) is silly. It isn't going to happen, unless maybe you've already arranged choir practice for them all in Bolton Town Square tonight.

Move over Hammerstein.
