We tip our hats to "Jonniesta" of Charlton Life for this superb piece of writing:
Fairytale of Floyd Road
It was Christmas Eve babe,
In the North Stand.
My old man said to me:
"Won't see another win."
And then he sang a song,
The Addams Family one!
I turned my face away
And dreamed of Wembley.
Another owner's gone,
Taken that bloody song.
I got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So Happy Christmas!
I love you Lifers,
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true.
We've good beer in the bar
And we've got Valley Gold,
But we've got a defence
That is peppered with holes.
When you first brought me here
On a cold Tuesday eve
You promised we'd get to the Premier League.
What a game!
Did a golfie!
Even Brownie weren't sulky,
Miles Leaburn was playing,
We felt we could score.
Corey Blackett on fire
(Though the ref was still dire),
We scored from a corner
And danced through the night.
The boys of the Valley faithful choir were seeing us
Win away
And the crowd were singing out for Alfie May!
You can't play!
You've no pace!
You complete waste of space!
You're a terrible team and your boss is a meme.
Your midfield is stale,
Lost at home to Port Vale!
Merry Christmas indeed
As we're stuck in this league
The boys of the Valley faithful choir were seeing us
Win away
And the crowd were singing out for Alfie May!
We could've been someone
Supported anyone
Not had to base our dreams
On injured cast-offs
But now it's Christmastime
Your dreams still match my own
We'll get some decent loans
And scrape into the play-offs
The boys of the Valley faithful choir still seeing us
Win away
And the crowd was singing out for Alfie May!
