"GLORY, GLORY SPURS" NO LONGER

entry picture

Bill Brown’s body lies a-turning in his grave

For him, Mackay and Blanchflower it’s not Mammon that they’d crave

And other icons of the past all knew how to behave

But the Spurs have sold their soul.

 

We have a proud tradition when the season ends in “1”

We’ve won the Cup, we’ve won the League but now this is all gone

He’s branded with his infamy our Harry Kane and Son

As the Spurs have sold their soul.

 

We will not qualify for Europe inside the top 4

But Levy has devised a plan – he’ll enter the back door

He’s prostituted fans and precious glory evermore

Since the Spurs have sold their soul.

 

"Glory, Glory Spurs" no longer

Levy’s sold our soul for wonga

Opposition can’t be stronger

Now the Spurs have sold their soul.

 

Now Boris says he’ll deal with this with new laws if need be

But, mark my words, the loser will be football, you will see

The only winners lawyers who now rub their hands in glee

Now the Spurs have sold their soul.

 

"Glory, Glory Spurs" no longer

Levy’s sold our soul for wonga

Opposition can’t be stronger

Now the Spurs have sold their soul.

Yes, it’s all turned to ratshit for Daniel Levy and the rest. Despite the tone of my song I can see his strategy. The club are over £800m in debt, the costly new stadium is empty of supporters, so how else might he have dented the debt?
And thanks for the Likes, Stephen, Tom and Kevin.

Yes - the latest online reports seem to confirm that it's got the boot -
so to speak! ?

Thankyou, Aviva. It's been said that I sing like a bird. Unfortunately, a magpie.
I think the rot's begun, MC. It seems Manchester City and Chelsea have now pulled out.
And thanks for the Likes, Stephen, Holden and Zina.

This smacks of a plan put forward by opportunistic greed.
It looks like premier league football has got its foot in its mouth and its hand outstretched for dosh. But I note a YouTube report about
our future King coming out against the plan so that's a heavy kick
in the right direction of certain bosses' backsides. And some
timely legislation to preserve the sporting status quo might get the
thing thrown into the long grass.

I know nothing whatsoever about football, football clubs, football history, politics, finances, etc, etc. But your songs always make me very happy.

Well, apart from the fact that I'm now envious that I don't have a relative as talented as you, I'm sure family gatherings must be a blast. Still, since I can play your songs through WOL audio clips I suppose I shouldn't be too sad.
