Song lyrics that suit our current predicament

[Jezza]

[didick]

Well I wasn't sure this epic could be satirised to our situation. But here's the best I can do. I may have to take some time off now.

Queen
Collingwood Rhaphsody

Is this the real life?
Collingwood misery?
Caught in a landslide,
Stuck in mediocrity

Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
He's just a poor coach, He needs no sympathy,
Because we're easy come, easy go,
No real highs, lots of lows
Every week our team blows, coast to coast goals for free, for free.

Eddie, had his succession plan,
Black and white old Mick he bled,
When Bucks took over then he fled
Eddie, our dynasty had just begun,
But now you've gone and thrown it all away.

Eddie, ooh,
Leading Teams made our boys cry,
If Trevor Hendy's back here again this time tomorrow,
Move him on, move him on as if nothing really happened

Nathan, your time has come,
Our defence it has no spine,
Leaking inside 50s all the time.
Goodbye, poor Nathan, you've got to go,
Gotta leave your zones behind and face the truth.

Nathan, ooh,
You gave coaching a try,
I sometimes wish you'd never been hired at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Sack the coach, sack the coach, make a man of Fasolo?
Buckley, Harvey, Tarkyn
Very, very frightening me.
(Bucks hates Robbo) Bucks hates Robbo
(Bucks hates Robbo) Bucks hates Robbo
Bucks hates Robbo, Demertriou
Alex Fasolo

Please save our poor boys, from Nathan Buckley,
We're losing each week and losing our dignity,
Spare them a life from this monstrosity.

Easy come, easy go, will you let Nathan go?
Bismillah! No, I will not let him go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! I will not let him go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! I will not let Nathan go. (Let him go!)
Will not let him go. (Let him go!)
Never, never let him go
Never let him go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let him go.)
Beelzebub has a wooden spoon aside for me, for me, for me.

So you think you can bone us and spit in our eye?
So you think you can keep him and leave us to slide?
Oh, Eddie, can't do this to us, Eddie
Just gotta get him out, just gotta get him right outta here.

(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)

The Clubs what really matters,
Can't you bloody see,
Our Club's what really matters,
That's what really matters to me.

[CarringbushCigar]

Well that's gotta take the cake.
Have a well earned rest.

Sums it up in a nut shell.

Did u help make up some of the songs at the Ponsford end back in 2011/12?

[didick]

^nah mate, back then i was going every week but had only been in Melbourne a couple of years and didn't know too many people.

Good work posters. Lots of fun singing along. Collingwood Rhapsody is my number 1. I thought I'd better throw the song below into the mix. I think Mick and Nathan sang it the night of the infamous Footy Show appearance. Remember when our coach went against one of the great maxims in football; "The club is bigger than the individual"? Poor old Bucks has been on a hiding to nothing ever since...

Don't You Want Me Nathan

You were playing as the captain of a wooden spoon team
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now twelve years later on you've got the world at your feet
No need to ask me how good you are
But don't forget it's me who put us where we are now
And I can put us back down too.

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will all be sorry

Don't you want me, Nathan?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, Eddie?
Don't you want me? Oh!

I was playing as the captain of a wooden spoon team
That much is true
But even then I knew we'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The twelve years we have had have seen us get to the top
I still love you
But now I think it's time I coached the side on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

It's much too late find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will all be sorry

Don't you want me, Buckley?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, Magpies?
Don't you want me? Oh!

"Space Oddity"

Nick's BB to Major Bucks
Nick's BB to Major Bucks
Take your game plan
and put it in the bin

Nick's BB to Major Bucks
Commencing meltdown,
server's blown
start a sack the coach thread
and take Eddie with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Nick's BB
to Major Buck's
You've really made us mad
And the players are either injured or in despair
Now it's time to leave the coaches box
if you dare

This is Major Bucks to Nicks BB
Our structures are really poor
And I'm screwing up
in a most spectacular way
And the team look very different today

For here
I don't have a game plan
or a plan B
The MCG is green
And this is the worst we've ever been

Though I'm closing on 100 games
I still haven't got a clue
And I'm not sure if my players know how to zone
Tell Ed I love him very much
He knows

Nick's BB to Major Buck's
Your game plan's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Bucks?
Can you hear me, Major Bucks?
Can you hear me, Major Bucks?
Can you....

Here am I fluffing up our game plan
Far above the Moon
The MCG is green
And we're the worst we've ever been

[HAL]

I think I can, don't you?

[Collingwood Crackerjack]

FEL say it best

[HAL]

By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?

[WarrenerraW]

"Angie by the Rolling Stones"

Buckley, Buckley, when will your zone disappear?
Buckley, Buckley, where will you lead us from here?
With division on our board from "perceptive fellow" and nasty trolls
You can't say we're satisfied

But Buckley, Buckley, you know we're all one-eyed Pies
Buckley, you're woeful, ain't it time we said good-bye?
Buckley, Ed still loves you, remember all those nights you cried?
All the dreams you held so close, premiership glory up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:

Buckley, Buckley, where will you lead us from here?
Oh, Buckley, don't you think, that you're gameplan really stinks
I hate that we're now in decline

But Buckley, Buckley, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our board, lollipops and nasty trolls
You can't say we're satisfied

But Buckley, we still love you, Buckley
But ev'rywhere I look I see your demise
There ain't a player that comes close to you
Come on Buckley, you know what to do

But Buckley, Buckley, ain't it good to be alive?
Buckley, Buckley, they can't say you never tried

[Juggernaught]

How about Cry me a river by Justin Timberlake ?

For the "perceptive fellow".

Side by Side.

"White Wedding by Billy Idol"

Hey little buckley what have you done?
Hey little buckley who's the only one?
Hey little buckley what's your gameplan?
Hey little buckley who's the one you want?
Hey little buckley you're done!

It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a coach sacking.
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little buckley who is it you're with?
Hey little buckley your assistants are shit
Hey little buckley you're done (oh yeah)
Hey little buckley what's your gameplan?
Hey little buckley you're done!

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a coach sacking
It's a nice day to start again.

(Pick it up)

Take me back home

Hey little buckley what have you done?
Hey little buckley who's the only one?
you've been coach for so long (so long)
you've been the coach for so long (so long)
Five years is so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a coach sacking
It's a nice day to start again.

There is nothin' fair in this world
But at least you're not james hird
And robbo's an obnoxious turd
And Mick wasn't true to his word
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It's a nice day for a coach sacking
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again
