Marvellous Nakamba, listen to the radio...
Don't you remember...

Dean Smith built this Villa.
He built this Villa...
for Emery to control.

I don’t always agree with your thoughts about Villa related stuff, but you may have something here.

Dean Smith is replacing a very short “we”.

I often have to get up during the night to do that.

Amen brother

Returning to the song, and not to put the proverbial boot in on Ivo, the reference to City in the original , is unfortunate. Maybe sell the song to our less illustrious neighbours

I think it should be ‘Deano’ and ‘Unai’ rather than ‘Dean Smith’ and ‘Emery’.
