Holy Grail

[saint1974]

From the lyrics of The Hunters and Collectors

Woke up this mornin from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world had ever seen
We were marchin as one on the road to the Holy grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory
Its a short season but a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands on the Holy Grail

You know I, I been searching for an easy way,
To escape the cold light of day
I been high and I been low but Ive got nowhere else to go


GO SAINTS STRENGHTH THROUGH LOYALTY BRING ON THAT LAST DAY IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
ITS US VERSUS THEM!
BAKES WILL BE BACK HE HAS BEEN TREATED BADLY BUT HE IS A TOUGH NUGGET HE WILL COME BACK STRONGER ADVERSITY MAKES US ALL STRONGER!
UNITE ALL SAINTS FAN LETS MOVE ON!!!!!!!!

[Saints43]

From the lyrics of Vinicius De Moraes; N Gimbel; Antonio Jobim

Tall and tan and lovely,
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
And when she passes,
Each one she passes goes "ahh!"

When she walks she's like a samba
That swing so cool and sways so gentle,
That when she passes,
Each one she passes goes "ahh!"

Oh, but I watch her so sadly,
How can I tell her I love Her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly.
But each day when she walks to sea,
She looks straight ahead not at me.

Tall and tan and young and lovely,
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see.

She just doesn't see.
No she doesn't see.


Go Saints

All Nightmare Long:



One, two

Luck. Runs. Out.

Crawl from the wreckage one more time
Horrific memory twists the mind
Dark, rugged, cold and hard to turn
Path of destruction, feel it burn

Still life, incarnation
Still life, infamy
Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, whats to come?
Whats to be?

Cause we hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck runs out
You crawl back in
But your luck runs out

One, two

Luck. Runs. Out.

The light that is not light is here
To flush you out with your own fear
You hide, you hide, but will be found
Release your grip without a sound

Still life, immolation
Still life, infamy
Hallucination
Heresy
Still you run, whats to come?
Whats to be?

Cause we hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
Luck runs out
You crawl back in
But your luck runs out

Lives in the Balance. Jackson Browne

"I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance"

[markp]

Seven Nation Army... White Stripes

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I'm gonna work this job
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
tell me "go back home"



Performed resplendently in the red, white and black...

THE SAINTS ARE COMING.....

[bigred]

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy.

'Coz I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand.


(Never gonna) give you up, (never gonna) let you down
(Never gonna) run around and desert you
(Never gonna) make you cry, (never gonna) say goodbye
(Never gonna) tell a lie and hurt you.

Hoo, hah haa
Hoo, hah haa

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it, baby
Inside we both know what's been going on
You know the game and we're gonna play it.

[Dis Believer]

A penny for the thoughts of those in the tower
Those who walk in the halls of power
As their eyes turn to the lands laid waste
To those entrusted but so betrayed

Chorus
Set the world alight
Set your soul on fire
Rise above the greed
It’s time to aim higher
Repeat

Is it all a game when you reach the top?
Standing on bodies to drink from the cup
Morals sold cheap at a fire sale
Another repeat of the same old tale

True Believer - lyrics extract from unfinished work "Rat Race"

"Baby One More Time"

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh baby, baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby
I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Young Georgie]

Bob Dylan
Graham Bonnet

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the Saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

THE SAINTS ARE COMING.....

The SAINTS have ARRIVED!.................. and the Footy World can't handle it.

[noob]

how about we make a song or chant (other than go marchin in) and get the whole saints fans to yell out during the game like soccer games. It would be an amazing atmosphere if you could hear it all around the ground.

[I Love Peter Kiel]

How about this for relevance especially the opening lines:


Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess.
They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy,
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.

People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act
Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts.
Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at,
I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that
Sweet lady.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike
I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like.
There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door,
You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars
After losin' every battle.

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle.

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb,
Blowing through the curtains in your room.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart.
Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,
What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top
You're on the bottom.

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes don't look into mine.
The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building burned.
I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned slowly into autumn.

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read
Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else instead.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory
And all your ragin' glory.

I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free,
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me.
You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above,
And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love,
And it makes me feel so sorry.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.


(Idiot Wind/Bob Dylan)

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance...

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

[Sainternist]

I think are H&C are quite good, but for some reason I can't stand that song.

I think it's because I always associate it to channel 10 flogging it to death and it being playing before last year's and '97's GF.

The song jinxed us! Arghhhhh
