Great thread this, but that one seems to have been worked on for some time, Harry!
'We all dream of a team of Gary Breens'
Despite singing it, I have never actually had a dream where all of our players from 1 - 11 were Gary Breen. And I've had many bizarre, and lucid dreams in my life, and sometimes about the City too, but never about this G. Breen line up scenario.
I mean, a couple in defence would have been pretty useful, even a couple more as back up for when we have our usual defensive injury crisis would be handy too...but a Gary Breen on each wing, or as a false 9 would actually be pretty undesirable, and far from dreamlike.
I'm the opposite for some reason, these make me chuckle. Little bit of harmless piss taking, like singing "You're just a small town in Scotland" to Newcastle.I'm always amused at how thick some of our fans are. Chants that stick out:
"You're just a small town in Wales..." - To Shrewsbury fans.
Yeah, that then would have only worked if he had very poor eyesight and his dad was called Ronald.
'6ft 1, dad's called Ron,
Big Jim Holton's eyes have gone,
La, la, la, la, la la, la, la.'
Fuck! Is that what kids are in to these days? I love it.Now then......as an old skool Raver & a parent of kids who love "Hey Duggee", I reckon the SBA could absolutely own this......
Just change "stick" for "Squeak" & LETS HAVE IT.......LARGE !!
Happy Friday folks !!!
squeak squeak squeak squeak squeaky squeaky squeak squeak
Or minus 45 in this part of the worldI used to like
"minus 10
who gives a fuck
we're Coventry city and we're going up"
From the Sixfields season I think where Wilson and Clarke we're banging them in and we were shooting up the table.
But soooo trueCity Till I Die is often ironic.

Gary breen song also sang by ROIThis is one of the best City songs of all time, I remember us singing it for the whole of the second half away at Swindon in the cup one season. It was also sung in the concourse at Brighton in the cup.
I also like the Big Mo song, got a feeling it might be sung at tomorrow's game
Gary breen song also sang by ROI
so who sang it first?
We were singing it at Wycombe for agesI want to hear this loud and proud from you boys in the naughty corner tomorrow when we're beating Lincoln please!
Not sure I agree.Team of Gary Breens.

My favourite of all the music!
I sang this to my kids as a nursery rhyme.
In fact most of our chants/songs have made it into the ‘dactyl household hit parade’...’in our coventry homes’, ‘shit on the villa’ etc etc. Thats normal right?
On this point I have to say, I’m not sure our accent is exceedingly rare.
Our accent is exceedingly rare IMO, It’s not like any other I know, distinct from the south and also distinct from the Midlands.
I've always sung that line (therefore always finishing one line after everybody else.)Virtually all of our songs are inaccurate and some are embarrassing but it’s hardly new.
We nicked “In our Coventry homes” from the Scousers but omitted the only fkin line that’s more appropriate for Coventry than Liverpool “we meet under a statue exceedingly bare”.
But that’s nothing compared to the cringefest that was “What’s that coming over the hill, is it a Mifsud?”
Listen to yourself back on a tape recording and it's surprising.My City does not make me happy when skies are grey, statistically they’re far more likely to make me miserable when skies are blue.
As for realistic chants:
“You are my City, my only City
so I am stuck here
Watching this shite
We might do OK
Until Christmas
Then get sucked into
a relegation fight. “
O
Listen to yourself back on a tape recording and it's surprising.
I did grow up in the borderlands though.
Edit :- sorry that was in response to Terry dactyl.
When I as on holiday down Cornwall once I got asked where I was from I said 'Coventry' and they responded in the poshest, snobbiest, RP English with 'Oh, Coventry!!'I have hated listening to myself on recordings previously.
My parents, who are from Northern Ireland and Portsmouth, insist we (my siblings and I) sound like brummies. When I’ve been on holidays I’ve been identified as a brummie, my work mates - London, Portsmouth, Cardiff (I’ve moved around a bit) - have detected a “brummie” twang and have therefore taken the piss - yes, even the welsh colleagues!
While most of us right thinking people are able to discern the difference I don’t think others (from outside of cov, or as I like to call them, idiots) can...allroight!
