Lord unchain my hands
Let me sing inside the crowded trams
Let me dance among the traffic jams
We're going to sleep
On the St Kilda sands
Written by Paul Simon?
haha Joffa, yes I think he was going through a dark phase when he wrote that one
it's very melbourne. especially this year
I love it mate. Absolutely love it,CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Fri 27 Nov 2020 1:50am Across the Bourke St footbridge,
From St.Kilda beach I came,
I marvelled at the Docklands
As I queued to see the game
My mind drifted to Moorabbin
To the windsock and the stand
To the Animal Enclosure
where this boy became a man
And I can still hear all the stories
That me father used to roll
How he waited at the Junction
How he nearly sold his soul
And though I wasn't born in 66
I could feel his sweet refrain
Now I'm waiting at the Docklands
Cause I've got to ease this pain
I did my time at Artic Park
I took the crushing hits
I lined up for my tickets
I'm still owed my 66
The MCG still gives me nightmares
Zip from 3 gives me the s***s
Bloody Adelaide and Collingwood
And those Sleepy Hollow twits
Yes Im waiting at the Docklands boys
So please come marching in
Im waiting at the Docklands lads
I've paid for all my sins
And I'll never give up hoping
Though I may say your name in Vain
Cause Im still waiting at the Docklands
And I've got to ease this pain
Yes Im waiting at the Docklands boys
So please come marching in
Im waiting at the Docklands lads
And my patience wears me thin
But when I finally here that number
I'll be playing in the band
And I'll catch a cab to Linton St
Just to hold the cup in hand
No longer waiting at the Docklands
I could die a happy man
In my old St.Kilda jumper
With a record in my hand.
Not a pregame song but I thought I'd share my poem. Hope you like it.
Very nice poem CQ Saint. Speaks of the angst of following the Saints.CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Fri 27 Nov 2020 1:50am Across the Bourke St footbridge,

Its funny what comes to mind when you are trying to get to sleep after a long day of performance appraisals and quarterly reports.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Fri 27 Nov 2020 8:50amVery nice poem CQ Saint.

The original first line to the pre-game song effort was "St Kilda, you've broken our hearts but we love you". haha
Not sure if it would be a good choice for a pre game anthem but it is a hell of a song & one of my very favourite Paul Kelly tuneslewdogs wrote: ↑Mon 23 Nov 2020 9:53pm What about the second verse of "From St Kilda To Kings Cross".
'I want to see the sun go down
From St Kilda esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction
Where the palm trees have it hard
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour
All that land and all that water
For that one sweet promenade!"
Beautiful song.
Great song, catchy tune but pity Kelly can't sing.bangaulegend wrote: ↑Sat 28 Nov 2020 11:15pmNot sure if it would be a good choice for a pre game anthem but it is a hell of a song & one of my very favourite Paul Kelly tuneslewdogs wrote: ↑Mon 23 Nov 2020 9:53pm What about the second verse of "From St Kilda To Kings Cross".

- Needs to be relatively slow song
- Have meaning on different level and be adaptable to your clubs position
- Well known so every body sings the chorus
- Uplifting
- Timeless and appealing from young to old
For me one song stands out:
Imagine - John Lennon
Can you imagine 30,000 Saints fans in chorus singing this pre game. Could also be the 2021 season theme: Imagine

I find Imagine as a sad song...a gentle lament, rather than uplifting....I don’t know what Ringo was thinking when he wrote it, buts still a good song.
Love the song jaxons, but you’re too late with suggesting this one, already taken. You obviously haven’t been to Optus Stadium in Perth???
If they made that awful drippy song our pre-game song I'd turn in my membership. There's only so much a Saints fan can take.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Sun 29 Nov 2020 9:47am If this is a serious thread for a pre game song I’d say the following from very successful pre-game anthems.
