I've been meaning to post this for a while.............
We all know that YNWA is by a distance the greatest football anthem but what's the 2nd best? IMO it's the Hibs fans "Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers"
Seeing as how we've "nicked" a few other teams anthems recently to add to our repertoire I'm thinking this little known (outside of Leith) ditty would be brilliant. Trouble is I can't think of a place name near to Anfield that rhymes with Leith.
"Sunshine On Leith"
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
Sorrow sorrow sorrow sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
You saw it, You claimed it
You touched it, You saved it
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thank you thank you thank you thank you
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I'm worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the Chief, puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him for His work
And your birth and my birth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
Sorrow sorrow sorrow sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
You saw it, You claimed it
You touched it, You saved it
While I'm worth my room on this earth
I will be with you
While the Chief, puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him for His work
And your birth and my birth
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
