Adapting lyrics for Neon Knights, in my defence I have a sheltered life, and now I'll probably get sued for copyright issues:

Oh yes, here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things may just last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again, again and again, again

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the league
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light

Circles and rings, lions and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the whistle of the ref

Bloodied players fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever-bright

Villa knights
Villa knights
Alright

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the league
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light
Again and again, again and again and again

Villa knights
Villa knights
Villa knights
Alright

I've just realised it should be this.

Yep.

To the tune of Ghost Riders in the sky

Was walking down the Witton Lane one dark & dusty day
I spied a poor City fan a-running far away
I said to that poor City fan it’s time for you to die
He said ‘yes I know sir
Holte Enders in the sky

He ran down the terraces and fell towards the gate
Little did he know that death was sure to be his fate
He had one more short hour to live & then he’d hear the cry
That every city fan does fear
Holte Enders in the sky

Their fists felt just like granite & their pockets lined with lead
& if they catch a city fan he’s sure to wind up dead
Cuz Villa fans rule Birmingham & City fans know why
Cuz they have seen the glory of…
Holte Enders in the sky

Yippee-aye-ehh
Yippee-aye-oo-oh
Holte Enders in the sky.

Summer in Summer Lane has less words:

You can see the palm trees swaying
Way down Summer Lane
Evry Satdee night there is a celebration
See em chuckin bottles in the Salutation
There ain’t no snow in Snow ‘ill
No need to catch a train
To your southern home
Where the weather’s warm
It’s always summer in Summer Lane

The thing is, it 2024 not 1974.
To be perfectly honest, regardless of how much we hate them, that’s fucking disgusting.

It’s only a song. Too many words for today’s attention deficit fans anyway.

Ah the good old days when anything and everything wasn't jumped upon at the first whiff of anything a little controversial or upsetting to the snowflakes.

Thanks for doing Percy,it's hardly Munich or Hillsborough esque.

Maybe we could take out the nasty scary words for a modern version

Or just use the original lyrics.

But that's the one.

I think.

A timely reminder today that some times it's better not to have an anthem.
