Bowler song - She’s Electric

[Mike_BFC]

Heard this on Saturday but didn’t pick up the words, anyone know it?

 

[Tango1953]

Can't help but I haven't been able to catch the words of our twist on the "Allez, Allez" chant, can anyone help with that too?

 

[poolseasider]

I can't keep up there seems to be a new chant every game only just learned the Garbutt one and he wasn't playing Saturday.

You mean this one ….

We follow Blackpool FC
We come from the seaside
The only team in football
In Tangerine and White
The boycott years were hard
We carried heavy loads
And now you'll hear us singing
From the stands of Bloomfield Road

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I can't keep up with these, I'm pushing 50 and had a 'heavy' lifestyle for a long time, I can barely remember the day of the week.

They are ace though.

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

Heeeee's electric,
His long hair and white boots eccentric,
He does things I never expected,
And he scores for the Pool,

When I saaaaw Josh Bowler,
I went home to the wife and I told her,
He did a left and a right step over,
And he scores for the Pool.

Thank you, love it

I thought everyone was singing “Preston are bastards wherever they go, Preston are bastards everywhere they go” only in 2nd half did I realise it was “battered” - my version still works though!

I would argue your version is probably better

 

[Tangerine10]

Blimey Victors that takes me back to the late 60s and early 70s.
One bloke used to shout "zigga" and the crowd replied with "oi".
Then the same bloke shouted "zagga" ...
You can probably guess the rest.
Great memories from being a toddler

The wife's been signing the Jerry Yates song all weekend.....

But Instead of singing......and when I die and they lay me to rest, I'm going to go on the pitch with Jerry Yates
She's singing...... and when I die and they lay me to rest, I'm going to go on the piss with Jerry Yates

One of us has got it wrong.......but which one?

 

[JJpool]

I thought he has the old Feeney chant.

Star man playing down the right.

This thread one is good but quite long.

I’m afraid your wife is correct, well almost.
“When I die and I’m at heaven’s gates, I’m going to go on the piss with Jerry Yates”

 

[Mike_BFC]

“When I die and I’m at heaven’s gates, I’m going to go on the piss with Jerry Yates”

I sing “before I die and I’m at heavens gates” makes sense as he’s not in heaven.

 

[ForeverTangerine]

Yeah you’re right. I used to sing ‘before I die’ but then I found the majority around me were singing ‘when I die’.

Yes, can we get Tony Parr to announce the next song number please.

 

[melodican]

Plays in tangerine
For the mighty pool
He's got wand of a right
And his name is Josh Bowler
J-O-S-H Bowler

Takes on defenders
Makes your keepers drool
I heard that he hates Preston too
Bowler
J-O-S-H Bowler
J-O-S-H Bowler

 

[poolseasider]

You'd be lucky not heard a word he's said all season in the North.

 

[Stranny1870]

I'm hoping for song sheets as I'm still trying to learn the words to 'ooh andy garner'.

I was trying to remember the correct words for Josh Bowler's song and found this thread

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Can we introduce a new re-worked version that incorporates a line similar to 'I fookin hate PNE' in it, for added impetus!

 

[hertfordseasider]

and I was singing MickJagger oi oi oi all the time..wonder what they were singing..

Hey Dave, do you remember back in the day when they used to shout out "Wally!" at gigs? Apparently it was to do with someone losing their dog at a festival and was shouting his name "Wally" and everyone joined in. Always used to shout it out back then, don't know when it stopped.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

The most important aspect of Bowler signing is to have a new chant back. We were beginning to struggle on the terraces.

Nah, couldn't afford them during the great depression...

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

When I first started going around 74/75 fans would sing a constant note like: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I quite liked it but wtf was all that about
