You are my Phoenix
(to "Doris Day - You Are My Sunshine)

Just can't get enough
(to Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough)
When I see the Phoenix
I go out of my head
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
and all the things you say
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
We slip and slide
As we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

Home and Away
You know we belong together
You and I forever and ever
No matter where you are
Your my guiding star
And from the very first moment I saw you
I never felt such emotion
I'm walking on air
Just to know... (just to know)
You are there... (you are there)
Hold me in your arms
Don't let me go
I want to stay forever
Closer each day...
Home and away
I've got a song
I've got a song,

The referee is shit

Oh Smeltzy
I gave you my heart
but the very next day
you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to Louis Fenton

Mossy you’re a goalkeeper
(To One Direction
- What Makes You Beautiful)
Mossy, you light up my world like nobody else,
The way you dive for the ball, gets me overwhelmed,
And when you punch at the ball, it ain’t hard to tell,
We all know-oh-oh,
Mossy you're our goalkeeper
More misses than hits in there!
I know - why don't we do Stand Up For The Phoenix to the tune of just about any other song ever recorded except Go West by The Village People. That would be just so clever/stupid.

Correct tune for Stand Up for The Phoenix here (not that any of you tuneless fuckers give a fuck but at least I will know that once again I have tried to spare us all the public humiliation of getting one of the most universally appreciated football chants so completely wrong):
From 00:44secs in...
Oh well, at least the Fever Zone looks like The Village People.

As The Village People will be in Wellington at the end of November (so I am told), should we extend an invite to them to come and listen to our rendition of their tune? I'm sure they would be impressed.
I'm slightly disappointed!
Given that it will be a bit sh!t we can say that it is the Pet Shop Boys version.

Steady on, J82. Even the Pet Shop Boys never butchered Go West as bad as the Fever...

Yeah, we've got a unique talent.

Is black and yellow by wiz khalifa too gangsta for the ring of fire? Chorus would be good
Yeah, we've got a unique talent.
that's one way of putting it, has to be said you chaps in the YF zone don't even start the chant anywhere near the real tune, so those of us that follow you have no hope of getting it right.
Queenslander 3x a year.
it's not a difficult tune to get right though, I must admit this is the first time I've actually heard the real thing, I'll do my best to get it right next home game.

Could steal Cambridge United's chant:

Yellow and black army,
Da da da da da daaa,
Yellow and black army...

Is this linked on the website or your facebook & twitter pages?
Edit: I've just noticed that it was on the last Pandemic email a few days ago. Really should read those a bit more...

Could adjust lyrics to Yellow fe-ver army
"Woke up this morning feeling fine,
Phoenix football on my mind
We play football the way, the way that it should, oh yeah
Something tells me I'm into something good"
Credit to Herman's Hermits for the lyrics and FC United for the interpretation.
Do you reckon we could get it together to do just the chorus of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"??
From 3:15 here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgGr1-JA5io
"Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Phoenix people, whoa-oh"
Repeat.
Easy.
And what better way to send a message back to Aussie that a) we ain't done yet, and b) we haven't lost our sense of humour, than via the soft-rock stylings of Journey. It's beautiful man.

Are there any songs from the musical Cats that would work as chants?
