A very unusual opening post - a dream for Blue Action! 20:30 - Aug 20 with 699 views

After the recent death of Bonnie Tyler I was reminded of her sensational performance on Norwegian television earlier in the week.

As a regular lurker here, somehow the song - which of course shares the name of this very site, somehow combined in my mind last night resulting in a dream. That of being at Old Trafford, Town going 2-0 up late on and the whole away end singing this after the usual limbs.

Only a few of the words stuck in my head. So I’ve had to try and re-write / write the rest as best as I can. I can but hope this gains some traction as - and it may be because it’s a fresh dream and I’m biased - but it seemed to work incredibly well in dream format. Have become slightly obsessed with this today given the fitting nature of the song name, the premise of it and the excitement of us being ‘back’.

Feel free to update the words as needed. I’m sure they can be bettered and apologies I can’t remember them all, assuming any other words even existed!

(sang slowly)

Once upon a time the mighty Towen
Were regulars upon the Europe scene
Sir Bobby’s heroes conquered all before them
We really were the finest football team

(faster)

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We beat them all
We never lost at home
We’ll see the like again
And I’ll be right there when
The Town are back
Right back where we belong

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La
La La La La La La

This time we won’t go down
We’re Ipswich f***ing Town
And Town are back
These are the days again

At best this will catch on with some revision and that dream comes true. I suspect it’s more likely I’ll be laughed at.

And no. This wasn’t straight after eating my favorite cheese (Wensleydale and Cranberry).
