Subject: RE: Delilah 'Banned' by WRU
Come on you Welsh, show a bit of imagination! Do what the Liverpool kopites did, take the song by the scruff and change the words! Here's The Fields of Athenry, as sung on the Kop:
Outside the Shankly Gates I heard a Kopite calling: Shankly they have taken you away But you left a great eleven Before you went to heaven Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road Outside the Paisley Gates I heard a Kopite calling Paisley they have taken you away. You led the great 11 Back in Rome in 77 And the redmen they are still playing the same way All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. Outside the Hillsborough flames I heard Kopite mourning What so many taken on that day Justice has never been done But theirs memory will carry on And it's the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. All round the Fields of Anfield Road Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play) Stevie Heighway on the wing We had dreams and songs to sing Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road. Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road.
