Friday the 16th of May 2014

I was originally going to put the congratulations but then I saw who sang it and decided not to bother so I was looking for inspiration and the phrase goodie goodie gum drops came to mind - goodie that glasgow won and thought it was part of the theme tune to the Goodies TV show but it isn't but the song is still quite apt

Goodies, goody googy yum yum...

G- You need a helping hand,
O- You know we understand,
O- We'll be there right to the end,
Everyone needs a friend,
goody-goody-goody...
D- You should definitely,
Y- You should enquire and see,
We, we take any old line,
Anything, anytime,
Hey hey hey,
Goodies, goody goody yum yum,
Goodies, we're coming for you,
Goodies, goody goody yum yum
Here we come into town,
getting up, falling down!

Apt because the first 3 lines I think shows how a home crowd and a full home crowd gives the team a helping hand and are there right to the end and for the tightness of the team of course the last 2 lines are apt for any rugby match.

But I also thought of Tom Petty's

I won't back down which is very appropriate as well

"I Won't Back Down"

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

[Chorus:]
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
....


And then I thought of Chumbawumba's lyrics of I get knocked down but I get up againand so I will leave you with the full lyrics of Tubhumping by Chumbawumba's

"Tubthumping"

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

Oh, Danny Boy
Danny Boy

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

Don't cry for me
Next door neighbor

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

I get knocked down
(We'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
(When we're winning)
I get knocked down
(We'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
