Wings of a Sparrow

[Stranny1870]

With all the current nobber uproar I'm surprised we haven't heard a few chants of one of my favourites about the young sparrow relieving itself.

[Pollenca]

remind us of the lyrics , we need this chant and ideally another one about them crying like babies about the tickets

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

I thought it was
If I had the wings of an angel
The dirty black arse of a crow
I would fly over Creepdale tomorrow
And shit on the bar stewards below.

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

I thought it was
If I had the wings of an angel
The dirty black arse of a crow
I would fly over Creepdale tomorrow
And shit on the bar stewards below.

Angel (not of the Martinez type), BB is right!

 

[Gary]

I thought it was wings of a sparrow not angel.

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

I thought it was wings of a sparrow not angel.

No defo Angel I have known that song since I was 5

 

[Stranny1870]

Definitely Sparrow in my time.

 

[Stranny1870]

I have it as
If I had the wings of a Sparrow
And the arse of a dirty black Crow
I'd fly over !!!!dale tomorrow
And sh!t on the b@stards below below

Sh!t on, sh!t on
Sh!t on the b@stards below

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

I think we need @20togo or @Wizaard to adjudicate .

 

[Stranny1870]

Well this is quite crucial I feel, there is much at stake a judge's decision could be useful.

 

[BFCAleman]

It was definetly sparrow ….

 

[Stranny1870]

Plus whilst we have them surrounded in the ground at Bloomfield maybe a nice friendly rendition of "and we all carry hatchets to bury in your head" will help them feel welcome

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

I always thought it was;

"If I had the wings of a sparrow,
The dirty black arse of a crow,
I'd fly over Deepd#le tomorrow
And shit on the bastards below.
Below, shit on, shit on, shit on the bastards below."

 

[20togo]

I think we need @20togo or @Wizaard to adjudicate .

bifty is right. It was angel and the dirty black arse of a crow.

 

[20togo]

It was definetly sparrow ….

nope it was angel.

 

[dodgy_surname]

We don’t carry knives we don’t carry lead Etc ️

 

[20togo]

The original version going back to the sixties and early seventies was angel. I don't recall it changing later to sparrow but it may well have done.

 

[Stranny1870]

Maybe lyric changes are due to age differences?

 

[dodgy_surname]

We don’t carry knives. We don’t carry lead etc️

 

[20togo]

We don’t carry knives. We don’t carry lead etc️

Hammers not knives, we don't carry lead
We only carry hatchets to bury in your head

 

[Stranny1870]

I'm referring to 80s I suppose

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Maybe lyric changes are due to age differences?

Aye you young uns

 

[Sooty59]

I'd go with Angel, as they can carry a much bigger payload than a little sparrow.

 

[tangysider]

Think there is some confusion

He is only a poor little sparrow
His wings are all tattered and torn

Not sure of all the rest but think hit with a brick and don''t sing anymore featured

different tune/song

 

[SirHarryThomson]

All I want is a walking stick
A hand grenade and a building brick
A Preston fan to punch and kick
Oh wouldn't it be lovely

 

[bleach51]

Angel...

 

[FY4MIKEH]

I'm sure we sang wings of an Eagle in the early 90s

 

[Wizaard]

I think we need @20togo or @Wizaard to adjudicate .

I'm with you. Sparrow. It sort of rhymes with tomorrow and crow

 

[ThereisonlyoneChrisMalkin]

Sparrow

 

[look.its.luke]

All I want is a walking stick
A hand grenade and a building brick
A Preston fan to punch and kick
Oh wouldn't it be lovely

To what tune?

 

[Loco]

Angel. Sparrow wings are a bit puny.

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

I always thought it was;

"If I had the wings of a sparrow,
The dirty black arse of a crow,
I'd fly over Deepd#le tomorrow
And shit on the bastards below.
Below, shit on, shit on, shit on the bastards below."

That’s what I’ve always sung.

 

[Levi501]

Definitely “Wings of an angel” sang it often enough in the late 60’s.

 

[seasidestevo]

I always sang it as

If I had the wings of a sparrow
If I had the arse of a crow
I’d fly over preston tomorrow
And shit on the b@stards below… below

Last remembered singing on the coach at Coventry away night match when Dion Dublin came on and scored a couple to beat us

 

[dodgy_surname]

Seagull shit ** nightmare

 

[20togo]

Angel. Sparrow wings are a bit puny.

of course the original is angel. Why would anyone want the wings of a tiny sparrow?

 

[ThereisonlyoneChrisMalkin]

Why would anyone want the dirty black arse of a crow?

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Why would anyone want the dirty black arse of a crow?

To shit on the bastards below.

 

[SirHarryThomson]

To what tune?

Wouldn't it be lovely

 

[Seasider3610]

20’s has it right

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Angel and dirty great arse of a Cow in my day.

Cows shxt far more than crows
