When Wor Jackie wore the shirt with pride, When all the lads sang at Wembley Abide When we lifted the cup for the sixth time in fifty five, I was not born until one year later, But, me Dad told me of when there was no team greater My first recollection of a trophy, Second division Champions Nineteen Sixty Five, Black and White stripes, Geordie Pride, Inter Cities Fairs Cup final Sixty nine, Lifting the trophy in Budapest, Geordie Pride, puff out the chest Since then we have won nowt, Won nothing No silverware, It did not matter, As long as you were there, We were boisterous and loud, No room for the meek Geordies, totally unique Manchester, Liverpool, all there for the glory, Not for us, a different story, So proud of where we belong, Everyone knew where we came from, A memory here of Hillsborough anniversary ten, If you were at Anfield that day, you will remember when, Paul Wardle and young Fiddes laid the wreath on the spot, Total respect, from and to, the Liverpool Kop As we stood and sang behind the Anfield road goal, For twenty minutes Youll Never Walk Alone The Kop sang back Newcastle, Newcastle Hand shakes all around, No hassle, You see they knew, football intellect, Geordies, total respect A small example to describe, That wonderful feeling we had on Tyneside, When we travelled in our thousands, And drank the Broon, Our hearts bursting to tell Were from the Toon, For us it was never ever about the winning, Cos Winnings for Losers We went to support, And to fill up the boozers, Geordie pride was the motivation, Representing the Geordie Nation Time has moved on to the present day, so different now, its sad to say, Its so very hard to be proud of Newcastle United, Our history and tradition has been blighted, We no longer represent what we did before, Since billionaire Ashley walked through the door, Red and blue signage now scars the ground, His only interest, taking your pound He doesnt know or care about the ten minute flag, Or the old West stand where I sat with me Dad, About Supermac, Terry Hibbit or Jinkys fast feet, He only cares for the balance sheet, What he has done is beyond belief, Geordie hearts, filled with grief Commercial profit, the money from Sky, He does not understand Newcastle United, The reason why.....
