We Will Survive

[OHDFC]

At first we were afraid, we were petrified;
Kept thinkin' we could never live without our beloved side;
And we spent so many nights thinkin' how the Georges did us wrong;
But we grew strong, when Raj Singh came along;
And now we’re back, from outer space;
11 players on the pitch each week although somewhat lacking pace;
At first we couldn’t score a goal, we’re in the relegation hole;
But now that we have put one in, we just need that first elusive win.

Come on Darlo, come to the fore;
Just have a shot now, 'cause if we don’t we’ll never score;
Weren't they the ones that thought we’d finally said goodbye;
We mustn’t crumble we cannot lay down die.
Oh no, not us, we will survive;
For as soon as we learn how to win I know we'll stay alive;
We've got 40 games to play, only half of them away;
And we’ll survive, we will survive.

It took all the strength we had not to fall apart;
George Houghton tried to drive a stake right though our heart;
And we spent oh so many nights;
Just feeling sorry for ourselves, we used to cry;
But now we hold our heads up high;
And you see us reborn anew;
Oh the star names may all be gone, and the skills left be few;
But if you feel like droppin' in, and just expect an easy win;
You’ll be surprised, the Mighty Darlo’s on the rise.

Come on Darlo, come to the fore;
Just put it in now, 'cause we just need a little more;
Weren't they the ones that thought we’d finally said goodbye;
We mustn’t crumble we cannot lay down die;
Oh no not us, we will survive;
For as soon as we learn how to win I know we'll stay alive;
We've got 40 games to play, only half of them away;
And we’ll survive, we will survive.

Come on Darlo, come to the fore;
Just turn it round now, ‘cause we are proud of you once more;
Last summer they all thought that we had finally said goodbye;
We mustn’t crumble we cannot lay down die;
Oh no not us, we will survive;
For as soon as we learn how to win I know we'll stay alive;
We've got 40 games to play, only half of them away;
And we’ll survive, we will survive.

Genius is an over-used superlative in this day & age, but in this instance...

[Makka Pakka]

You've got a talent there.

[knoxy5000]

You should print that out and give it the west stand faithful to sing at the next home game

[Geordie Quaker]

At first we were all mouth, we were filthy rich;
Kept thinkin' we could never live without that Susan bitch;
And we spent so many nights thinkin' how the Poolies were just scum;
But it went wrong, when the Arena came along;
And now we’re back, where we belong;
At the bottom of the League and all our hope has gone;
And every single Darlo fan looks out on 47 seats;
With a Dinosaur in charge all were seeing is defeats….

Go now Go, drop out the League;
Just wrap it up now, before the Admin make it three;
Weren't we the ones to “Never Be Like ‘Artlepool”;
We mustn’t grumble, because it’s not even a lie.
Oh no Darlo, will you survive?;
That stadium you brag about will end in your decline;
You’ve got 40 games to play, losing money all the way;
Will You Survive? Are you alive!?.

It took all the strength you had, just to stage the game;
When the Poolies came to Town and took your pride away;
And Taffy Williams hit the ball into the back of Darlos net;
And Clark Keltie was accosted by some fat and mouthy get;
But now Pools hold our heads up high;
And 3 years on , its looking worse;
All your star names may all be gone, playing in Hartlepools reserves;
Teams come up the 66, and just expect an easy win;
In front of 1800 fans in an empty baked-bean tin….

Go now, go.
Fall out the door,
Play in the Conference,
Can you remember from before?
Weren’t you the ones who sang “We Won’t Play You Again”
Well you were right..it’s turned to shite….Ooooohhhhhh….

Repeat To Fade!!!!
