This is the one I meant, it was an old club song

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea.
And down at the junction there's a football ground
And there St Kilda can be found.

So let's give a cheer for old St Kilda,
For next year's premiers they will be;
Though it's not yet in the bag there's a chance of winning the flag
Beside the seaside, beside the sea

Lyrics on the site are slightly different on the Footscray site above. (not that I want to start a 26 page 600 post slanging match :))

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside Oh I do like to be beside the sea
And down at the Junction there’s the football ground
And that’s where the Saints all hang around
So lets give three cheers for old St Kilda,
For this year the premiers they may be
Though it’s not yet in the bag, We’ve got hopes of winning the flag
Beside the seaside, beside the sea
Though it’s not yet in the bag, We’ve got hopes of winning the flag
Beside the seaside, beside the sea

We used to sing

Though it's not quite in the bag,
St.Kilda's gonna win the flag.

We were positive, loud, confident and WRONG every year.

This year is different, though it's not quite in the bag.

GO YOU SAINTERS!!!

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea.
Oh when the saints go marching in...
(then milney's call and traditional beat)...
OHHH, when the saints,
go marchin in,
oh when the saints go marching in..
how i love to be besides the seaside
when the saints go marching in!"

The brass solo in the middle of the "Parade" song is awsome.


"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

I have never played this record and have sworn only to play it when we win a flag. So I don't know what version of the song it is little the Football Song which could be gold!

I've been waiting so long to hear "The Fable Singers"?

Can someone spoil it for me!
