Copied this from the music forum which would appear to be a tad slow and I need to know ...

Evenin all.

I've got the lines of a song running through my head and it really is drivin me nuts!

It starts something like this..

'Everyone where you go everyone you see..... something something something ..it's a tragedy.
Find a new place, but you can't play here. Don't want any lip so there.
You know it's gon'a be alright if we stick together...

It was the intro song from a programme about a kids football team (that had a Govan(?) 'Manager' who was an ex-footballer at the time)

Any ideas what the song is and who the band are (or come to that, the name of the TV prog itself)

I'm sure it's Sham69 but I have to know for sure.

Somewhere out here in PH land there must be someone who knows!

Cheers.

"EVERYWHERE YOU go, everything you see/Someone's saying no - it's a tragedy!" Yobbish roustabout for pre-teatime school nights depicting the fortunes and (many) failings of Dunmore United FC's Junoir Supporter's Club. A familiar mix of football, snogging, mild swearing and crappy violence ensued over four series, presided over by an equally familiar mix of "larger-than-life" characters: Mac Murphy the downtrodden manager, "Rasputin" Jones the president, and your titular Mob including Boxer, copper's son 'Wurzel' Glossop, Charlotte 'Charlie' Masters, The Hulk, Pacman, Mugsy Moran, etc. LYNDA BELLINGHAM and TEGAN OFF DR WHO shouted from the touchlines. Best thing was the Sham 69-stylings of the signature tune, bemoaning the lot of being young and everyone hating you: "Find another place, 'cos you can't play 'ere/Don't want any lip, so there!/Y'know it's gonna be alright if we stick together/We're gonna have a fine, fine time if we stick together/No more mindless empty days..."

Empty Days by MURPHY'S MOB

Everywhere you go, everything you see,
Someone's saying no, it's a tragedy,
Find another place, cos you can't play here,
Don't want any lip, so now!

You know it's gonna be alright
if we stick together
We're gonna have a fine, fine time
if we stick together

No more mindless empty days ...

Everything you do, everything you say,
There's always someone getting in your way,
Find another pub, cos you can't drink here,
Don't want any lip, so now!

HTH
