Fuck me you're boringTamworth, Solihull, Rugby, Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington, Bedworth Nuneaton.....I won't live or die in any of these places. Shit song.
It's Leith not LeighTheir cup final rendition would be hard to beat as a club anthem - spine tingling indeed, though I'm not sure the sun ever shines on Leigh.
You are in Essex, your opinion means nothing.Fuck me you're boring
Really?It's Leith not Leigh
Fuck me you're boring

The song was inspired by lyrics written on a toilet door in the Colly.
This explanation sums it up:
The chorus, "We'll live and die in these towns, don't let it drag you down now," reflects a determination to persevere despite the limitations and drawbacks of their environment. It serves as a rallying cry to not allow the negativity and hardships of their circumstances to weigh them down.
It's as Coventry as it gets.
People as in @Greggs on the wind up again, we never learnExactly. That's the sentiment behind it. It's about this country's forgotten places and those who overcome the challenges those environments create. People taking the 'town' reference so literally is weird. It's a great anthem that fits Coventry perfectly. Love that we have adopted it.

A bit too much analysis for the average footy fan tbh. It's either a decent song to sing with a catchy tune or it's not. Seems to me most people sing " We'll live and die....we"ll live and die in these towns " ........Exactly. That's the sentiment behind it.

How's about this. I've changed the words a bit:Apologies if they've been printed elsewhere on here:
You spend your time in smoky rooms
Where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
"It never happens for people like us, you know"
Well, nothing ever happened on its own
And while the toilet smells of desperation
The streets all echo of aggravation
And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
When you've got nothing to do, and you've got nothing to eat
Your life's slipping and sliding right out of view
And there's absolutely nothing that you can do (well)
We'll live and die
We'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down
Don't let it drag you down, now
We'll live and die
We'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down
Don't let it drag you down, now
I thought Coventry was a city not a town when the original was written. Presumably Greggs was deeply offended at the time.How's about this. I've changed the words a bit:
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much wanking on the dance floor.
Nah, I like The Specials, nothing like those spotty little cunts The Enemy. Even though Terry Hall was a Man U fan..... you do you though pal.I thought Coventry was a city not a town when the original was written. Presumably Greggs was deeply offended at the time.
It's odd how everyone in Cov ( me included) says " going up the town" when we go into broadgate . Well we used to in the 1970s when I lived there.I thought Coventry was a city not a town when the original was written. Presumably Greggs was deeply offended at the time.
But when we go to the football we say 'going to watch the City'.......It's odd how everyone in Cov ( me included) says " going up the town" when we go into broadgate . Well we used to in the 1970s when I lived there.

I'm right. People think I'm offended, but really it's them that are offended because I don't agree with the majority constantly. I win.
Hope the Town win tomorrow night. Up the Town.
Dressed as one of the blokes from the Village people?It was always 'Going Down Town' and 'Up The City' for me
Might be hard driving my Sprinter through all those pesky villages and hamlets though.Should be easy getting back to city with no road closures.
Yes, I only ever leave CV1 to attend the football. How about you?Are you a born and bred Coventrian , Greggs ?
Still got my cowboy outfit, chaps are a bit tight now thoughDressed as one of the blokes from the Village people?

It’s normal. People in every city in england call the city centre ‘town’It's odd how everyone in Cov ( me included) says " going up the town" when we go into broadgate . Well we used to in the 1970s when I lived there.
