    Then in ’94 you had the worst of the lot, ‘Watch your House for Ireland (goodbye Europe Hello USA)’ the official song with lyrics like ‘In Orlando, Magic Wando’ ?????, where do they come up with this tripe……Some people dubbed it ‘Burn your house for Ireland’.


    The next line after that was "apple pie, milk shake".

    There's one song I can't think of but its based on "We didn't start the fire" by Bruice Springsteen. Does anyone know if they are available on CD????
    Thats where you're wrong see,that song was about 2fm,at that time Ray Burke(yes the government minister)had "dealings" with century radio(century being the first independent national radio station) ,ray wanted to turn 2fm into a second radio1 type yoke,1 with no pop music so his "dealings"with century radio would succeed

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 vawns

    Thanks theworm2345 - bringing back cool memories - I can remember most of the lyrics to these now that I here them again - nearly 20 years since "We beat the Brits in Stuttgart" we are all getting old!!!!

    You added this Comment

    I've been looking for the song myself- here are the lyrics anyway
    November 30, 2007
    From Italia 90- sung to the tune of 'We didn't start the fire' by Billy Joel-
    Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand
    Johnny Giles, Ireland
    Mick McCarthy, Stephen Staunton
    Cascarino
    Tony Galvin, Niall Quinn
    Packie doesn't let em in
    North of Ireland
    South of Ireland
    Only one can go

    Paul McGrath, Back Four
    Aldridge got another score
    World Cup
    English Clubs
    Kevin Moran and the Dubs
    European Championship
    How can we forget the trip
    Andy Townsend, Kevin Sheedy
    Stapleton's a supersub


    We’re gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning
    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us

    Butragueño, Hungary
    We scared the Dutch in Germany
    Charlie Hurley, Liam Tuohy
    Opel Invest
    Ray Houghton, Liverpool
    Ronnie Whelan's so cool
    O'Leary in the Sunday World
    Con is in the press

    Stuttgart was no dream
    now we have a winning team
    Billy Bingham, Budapest
    Man of Magic, Georgie Best
    Eamon Dunphy writes it down
    Dalymount to Landsdowne
    English Football in a mess
    Trouble on the Terraces

    Were gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning
    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us


    Dasaev, Sócrates,
    Maradona, Ardiles,
    Puskás, Bessonov,
    René van de Kerkhof,
    Hamilton, Jim Magee,
    Saint And Greavsie on TV,
    Maradona, Hand of God
    Brady should be in the Squad

    Chris Morris, score draw
    Don Givens, Denis Law,
    Eusebio, Junior, Ronnie Whelan Senior
    Pelé #10
    We'll never see his like again
    Goikoetxea is mean[2]
    Champions, Argentina


    Netherlands, Egypt
    England got a free trip
    Pleaded, Seeded
    Because of the supporters
    Ruud Gullit might be out
    Holland wouldn't have a shout
    Hoddle and Waddle
    Have they got the bottle
    We have England in the draw
    And the Dutch like before
    One thing that were grateful for
    We didn't get the Mafia

    Seeded in Sicily
    Off the coast of Italy
    6 hour boat trip
    We can take the hardship
    But the fans couldn't care
    They can travel anywhere
    No one else can match the sound
    Our supporters bring around
    June 11, English Game
    We can do the trick again
    Egypt next and then the Dutch
    Its the second round for us
    When we finally get to Rome
    No one will be left at home
    Aldridge is about to score
    Listen to the Irish Roar

    I transcribed that on Wikipedia and the ***** there took it down claiming it wasn't famous enough

    So what songs are for the next event? I'm a DJ and would love to have some footy songs. Not a fan at all myself but it makes the punters happy!

My volleyball team (all 2nd generation irish from the southside of chicago) decided we want the songs for our warm ups if somebody can do this it would be really really helpful
    thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 444 ✭✭fortuneg


    Any chance anyone could upload these again?

    Please?!

    Nice one man :) Ive spent a few days on *illegal banned from being named here file sharing yokey bob* compiling a tonne of Pogues, Wolfe Tones, Dubliners etc etc to keep my new neighbours in Australia up at night :) when I hopefully go on a working holiday around April time, but the football tunes are few and far between (for some reason when you enter in terms like "ireland 1990 world cup" and "put under pressre" you get 0.2kb results like Ireland 1990 fcuking and put under pressure Ireland whores :confused: Who even makes these fake files? )

    God I can imagine it now, watching qualifiers at 7am over there next September and going on an all day session after it :D
