Selhurst Anthem

A good football anthem always works as a folk song — simple, melodic and made to be sung together. FC Köln are a perfect example. That was the idea behind this one: strip away the stadium production and see if the song still stands up.

Lyrics.

First time at Selhurst, walking hand in hand

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Red and blue forever — now I understand

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Selhurst under the lights — that’s our church!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Through every joy, every heartbreak, every hurt

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Every bloody high and every desperate low

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Side by side, wherever the Eagles go

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Freedman at Stockport — kept the dream alive!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Administration — twice we nearly died!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Ambrose at Wednesday — what a bloody strike!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Gayle sealed Crystanbul — Suárez cried!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Zaha — oh yes! — at the Amex... goodbye.

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Speroni — the legend that we got for free!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Then Wembley roared — F.A. Cup victory!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

We lifted the Shield — another memory!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Then Europe came — the Eagles made history!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

From all those years of dreaming — look what we’ve achieved.

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

South London together — we come one.

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

For the ones who brought us here when we were young
For the players and the fans whose final songs are sung
The faces we have lost are never far away
Always in our hearts, forever there they’ll stay

And when we sing together, somehow they’re still near

Old and young together — one family!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Through the good, the bad and sheer insanity!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

South London forever — wherever we may be!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

Win, lose or draw — you’re everything to me!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

FEELS LIKE THE PALACE TO ME!

The pride of South London
South London’s number one
You know it’s true
We’re red and blue

C.P.F.C you are in me.

Johnny Todd was a traditional English folk song - as Z cars was supposedly set in Liverpool it used the tin whistle music as it's theme tune - The lyrics were reference to Liverpool and heritage as a port and merchant navy / sailors who sailed from there.

Johnny Todd, he took a notion
For to cross the ocean wide
And he's left his own true love behind him
Walking by the Liverpool tide

For a week, she wept with sorrow
Tore her hair and wrung her hands
Till she met another handsome sailor
Walking by the Liverpool sands

Fair young maid are you a weeping
For your Johnny gone to sea
If you'll wed with me tomorrow
I will kind and constant be

I will buy you sheets and blankets
I'll buy you a wedding ring
You shall have a silver cradle
For to rock the baby in

Johnny Todd came home from sailing
Sailing on the ocean wide
And he's found his fair and false one
Was another sailor's bride

All young men who go a sailing
For to fight the foreign foe
Do not leave your own true love like johnny
Marry her before you go

For Palace - 'Glad all over' for the team coming out but for the huddle 'Seven nation army' to get the crowd going.
