Title: A Tiga Parody - Halleluja
Post by: tiga on January 11, 2007, 03:13:42 PM: Well I have finally gotten off my bruised backside (after Ox gave my last effort a kicking ;)) and decided to write another parody.

Hope you all enjoy it. :D

Halleluja (sung to the tune of Halleluja by Lenoard Cohen and also performed by Jeff Buckley)

Well a message came down from the board
The way we play doesn’t please the Horde
But you don't really care for losing, do ya?
Well we know we need mindset shift:
One week we fail and the next we lift
The banner makers are praying Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well our faith is strong but we need the proof
A shining light through the phone box roof
A player with class and skill that will thrill ya
Well Richo’s finally kicking straight
And Brownie’s leg is feeling great
And Cogs and Newy are running Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

(Yeah but) Baby We've been here before
A promising team that has hit the floor, (You know)
But there’s something different this time I tell ya
Well we’ve strengthened up from front to back
and gained some more skill in attack
And all the fans are screaming Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when we were so low
When Danny Frawley ran the show
Tears filled our beers and depression that would kill ya
Then Wallace came and cleaned the slate
The ferals love and no longer hate
And finals are in sight now Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

[Instrumental]

Maybe there's a God above
And at last we give the eight a shove
And no inconsistent form… that would fool ya
Now there’s no more tears on Sunday night
Cause the players have finally seen the light
Now Tigerland is singing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
