Chants you wish we would sing more

by urz13 » 07 Mar 2012 15:37

It's a shame that some of our best chants we don't sing very often. What would you like to hear more?
I'll start with this one which I've only heard once:

The fields are green, the sky is blue,
The river Thames goes winding through,
In Berkshire see the spoils,
It's the home town of the Royals,
A fairer town you'll never see,
A fairer town they'll never be,
Big city lights don't bother me,
A Reading boy I'm proud to be.

It's the one really original reading chant I've heard in my life and it's still stuck in my memory. Would love to here it again. But yes, I did remember it.

What's the tune? Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World? Am I wrong? Probably wrong.

I REALLY love this one. It's so unique, and I've never heard anyone else sing it. PLEASE CAN WE SING IT ALL THE TIME?

Have only heard it when playing Cardiff/Swansea tbh, but always thought, being The Royals and all, that we should sing God Save The Queen, everyone knows it, everyone can belt it out, would be easy to start and seems like it would fit with us... to me at least

The thread in AE reminded me of 'I used to work in Newbury etc'.
I haven't heard that since we sang it as we tailed a family with small children walking from the Green Man to Wembley. Have I just missed it this season?

what we have is enough, we just don't sing enough! too many pauses. we're simply too quiet unless provoked, whereas i wish we were more boisterous if you like, and make more of an effort to just not shut up.
