Aston Villa Songs Greatest Hits Vol.1: The Classics

1. They say that saint andrews is a wonderful place
   To tell you the truth, it’s a f*ckin disgrace
   They say they’ve got showers but we know the truth
   There’s a hole in the roof where the rain p*sses through
   Singing we hate oh we hate the city
   We hate oh we hate the blues
   We hate oh we hate the city
   And we love it when those b*stards lose

2. Just shows what I thought were original words….quite a few of the songs here have different lines to what I used to sing. A bit more feedback from the old ‘uns might confirm how the songs were originally sung….

3. a very old song which went on for ages, and i can’t remember the words…..
   my eyes have seen the glory of the villa win the cup, 7 times we won it no one else can catch us up. we are the boys in claret and blue we are the champions,and the villa keep marching on and on…..glory glory aston villa….

4. north stand, give us a song, north stand north stand give us a song…..
    
    
   still waiting…

5. trinity, give us a song, trinity trinity give us a song….
   wait for it…..
    
   slow foot-stomp followed by applause from the holte…

6. he’s here! he’s there! he’s every-fuckin-where he’s andy gray, andy gray!!

7. if i had the wings of a sparrow, if i had the arse of a crow, i’d fly over birmingham city, and shit on the bastards below, below! and shit on the bastards below…..shit on, shit on, shit on the bastards below, below!

8. oooh aaaah paul mcgrath, say ohh ahh paul mcgrath…..

9. Andy, Andy Lockhead, Andy Lockhead in the aiiirr!!

10. you’ll never take the holte end! you’ll never take the holte end!…sang on a couple of occasions when the scum tried their luck, back in the days of site hard-hats and donkey jackets…..
    one time i remember it wasn’t sung was when rangers came down for a pre-season “freindly”. remember my older brother taking me in through the trinity rd tunstiles and looking up the stairs of the holte to see a mass of pissed up jocks singing gers songs. not one of villa park’s best days….

11. This song was sung to get the Holte-End warmed up when it was cold on the terraces, around the 70’s and 80’s (and probably earlier?)
     
    Knees up mother Brown, knees up mother Brown,
    Under the table you must go, e-i e-i-e-i-oh,
    If we catch you wanking, we’ll saw your legs right off,
    So knees up, knees up, gotta get a breeze up, knees up mother Brown

12. Chim Chimeny, Chim Chimeny, Chim Chim Cheroo,, we are the bastards in Claret and Blue

13. Might have a few more later, but as you can see, I was singing in the Holte-End and away, during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, a bit more violent in those days, but oh so much more fun singing and STANDING in the Holte!

    • @littlevillan Outstanding contributions! It’s important to collect all the old songs – even from the ‘good old days’. No history should be censored.

14. Jump up turn around, kick him in the bollocks,
    Jump up turn around, kick him in the head,
    Jump up turn around, kick him in the bollocks,
    Jump up turn around, kick him in the head,
    Ohhh lordy, kick him in the bollocks,
    Ohhh lordy, kick him in the head,
    Ohhh lordy kick him in the bollocks,
    Ohhh lordy kick him in the head….

21. This is the Holt-Enders in the Sky song as I remembered it…..
     
    As I was walking down the street one dark and stormy day, I came across a City fan, and he got in my way
    I said you are a City fan, and City fans must die,
    and then forevever more we sang Holte-Enders in the Sky,
    Yippie I yay, yippie I yohhh,
    Holte-Enders in the Sky…..
     
    Also, the longer version……
     
    As I was walked up to the steps of the Holte-End, as I walked up to the Holte-End one day,
    I spied a poor blues fan all cut up in ribbons, all cut up in ribbons and shit on they say.
    I said to that poor blues fan, what have they done to you, and why have they treated you in such a way?
    He said all I did was to go up the Holte-End, and say Aston Villa were old men of clay.
    The Holte-End daint like it, they rose up to fight it, they kicked in his bollocks and kicked in his head,
    And now that poor blues fan, is pushing up daisies, he’s pushing up daisies, he’s stone fuckin dead.
    So let that be a lesson to all of yous blues fans, who come up the Holte-End to sing and to sway,
     If you say one word against our Aston Villa, then that will be the last word that you’ll ever say,
    Yippie I yayyyyy, yippie I Yohhhhh, Holte-End-ers in the sky……

22. We hate oh we hate the city, we hate oh we hate the blues! We hate oh we hate the city & we love it when the bastards lose!!

23. Can`t belive you haven`t got this one in ………..Villa ..Villa Villa Villa ..Villa Villa V i l l aaaa…………

27. 1982 to Ipswich

    It’s Ron Atkinson and his mob, selling Deehan for a bon, cos he don’t score anymore!

    Sang to Albion after John Deehan was transferred aa he hardly scored…..

42. OH i DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE
    OH I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEA

    When we get to wembley,
    So score,
    Villa score.

44. how about “The bells are ringing…??”

46. As I walked down to Villa Park one dark
    and dusty day,
    I spied a poor old City fan running
    far away,
    I said to that poor City fan, it looks
    like you must die,
    ‘Cuz you have seen the glory of …

    Holte Enders in the sky
    Yippeeeiiiaaa, yippeeeiiiooo
    Holte Enders in the sky

    We chased him through the terraces, we
    chased him down the streets,
    But little did that City fan know that
    death must be his fate,
    ‘Cuz Villa fans rule Birmingham and
    city fans know why,
    ‘Cuz they have seen the glory of….

    Holte Enders in the sky
    Yippeeeiiiaaa, yippeeeiiiooo
    Holte Enders in the sky

    Complete Lyrics for Holte Enders. Great song when sung properly.

47. Good point. We’ll be looking at origins and original songs too. All contributions welcome. UTV.

48. holte enders in the sky is actually the chorus of a much longer song which an older fan once sang for us on the train,believe it dates back to the days in division 3
