The Fletcher Memorial Home  

Lyrics below for clarification


"The Fletcher Memorial Home" by Pink Floyd

take all your overrated duds away somewhere
and build them a home a little place of their own
the simon fletcher memorial
home for incurable kicks and hacks
and they can appear to themselves every day
on ch 7 footy replay t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel
"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome hudson and houlihan
mr. banik and friend mrs. cleve and jon
mr. biddiscombe and party
the ghost of mcmahon
the memories of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous 80s
wooden spoon packing glitterati"
did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish their ressie medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing Coburg games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the simon fletcher memorial home for richmond
wasters of money and time
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the dimma solution can be applied

Very appropriate song tiga  

from the final cut

"When the Tigers broke free from" Pink Floyd.
Slight alteration. From the same era of Roger Waters
written songs of the early 80's post "The Wall" album.

Don't want to belittle anyone who lost family in WW2
but here is my version of When the Tigers broke free
to But the Tigers will break free.






Twas is season 2009
One miserable morning the day after our game in round 4
When our current CEO asked us to sit tight
Despite the start of our year being so poor
And the fans all cried loud
No longer proud
At their footy team for a while
As the recruitment of Cuz no longer had buzz
for the price of a few thousand extra members

Kind old Greg Miller
send us all notes
When we got flogged two years before
It was I recall in the form of a joke
With crocodile tears and all
When it came to that day
I thought oh no not again
and threw it away

and my eyes still grow damp
to remember previous regimes failures
signed by the RFC rubber stamp

It was dark all around
There is pain at the grounds
But the Tigers will break free
and we'll all survive
from the abyss of supporting the RFC
One day we'll leave that all behind
Most teams dead
The rest of them dying
and that's how Damian Hardwick instilled the pride back for me.

Very clever there Tucky   

[tiga]

Nice effort indeed Tucker!

Whenever I hear that song I always think of the RFC breaking free of those self imposed shackles.

Fan of Queen Tucky?  

I want to break free
I want the RFC to break free
I want to break free from your lies
Terry you're so self satisfied we don't need you
I want the RFC to break free
God knows, God knows I want to the RFC break free

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the new dawn
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way I love the RFC like you do
But I have to be sure
When Terry walks out that door
Oh how I want the RFC to be free, baby
Oh how I want the RFC to break free,
Oh how I want the RFC to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without wins by my side
I don't want to lose alone, hey
God knows, I could recruit better on my own
So Beck and Miller can't you see
God knows, gods know, gods know
I've want the RFC to break free




Or something more modern from Youth Group.....


Let's cheer in style let's cheer for a while,
Flags have to wait we're only praying to the skies,
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop JON or not?

Let us win often and let us win forever,
Don't have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in the 'G life is a short trip,
Watching RFC is for the sad man

Can you imagine when this race is run,
Turn our yellow & black faces into the sun,
Bagging our leaders drafting another buffoon,
RFC recruiting is played by the mad man

Forever crap, I don't wanna be forever crap,
Do you really wanna be crap forever?
Forever forever
Forever crap, I don't wanna be forever crap,
Do you really wanna be crap forever?
Forever forever

Some are soft as water some can't handle the heat,
Some are just duds that always get beat,
Sooner or later they'll all be gone,
Why don't they stay gone?
It's hard to get old without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading voice,
RFC is like diamonds in the sun,
And the RFC is forever,
So many adventures couldn't happened today,
So many duds that got to play,
So many dreams swinging out in the blue,
Will they ever come true

Forever crap I don't wanna be forever crap,
Do you really wanna watch Jordie forever?
Forever, forever
Forever crap, I don't wanna be forever crap,
Do you really wanna watch Hislop forever?
Forever, forever
Forever crap, I don't wanna be forever crap,
Do you really wanna watch Miller forever?
Forever, forever
Forever crap, I don't wanna to be forever crap
Do you really wanna be crap forever?
Forever, forever...

Big fan of Queen MT.

Was thinking of Another Bites the Dust for all our awful coaching appointments, or Bohemian Rhapsody.

Fantastic stuff MT.
