3 Day countdown to the release of We don't live in America by The False Dots - The Hadley FC we love you!

Three days to go unti the launch of The False Dots new single "We don't live in America". Today we are previewing "Hadley FC We love you". Tom Hammond, our Trumpeter and part time singer joined the band after chatting to me at Hadley FC where we are both season ticket holders. We wanted to write the ultimate football song for our fave Non League team. The actual song has had two other versions. I wrote it in 2012. We recorded a version with Allen Ashley, who wrote the original third verse and middle eight. It was a generic football song. Lee Thompson from Madness recorded saxon the song. We recorded it and made some CD's to raise cash for Prostate Cancer charities, in association with Madchat (The Madness Charity). 

When Tom joined the band, we rewrote the lyrics and repurposed the song for the England Euro's campaign. I took the vocal duties. Tom then suggested we do a Hadley version. So when the album is released, you'll be able to compare all three. This song is very Hadley specific and we will be releasing a limited edition vinyl single version. 

Saturday Hadley Version

Verse 1

Saturday is here again, the weekend starts, let the football begin

Breakfast at my favourite café, Brickfield Lane to watch us win,

The sun is high the wind is cold, smell of burgers up my nose

Excitement builds. We’re ready to go, listen to the whistle blow

 

Chorus

It doesn’t matter what you do, Come on Hadley See us through

You know that it’s true, Hadley FC, We Love You

--

Saturday gets us through, in the green, red against blue,

Chris Nash, thread it through, beat them with the old 1-2

From outside, hear the roar, whether we win, lose or draw

Wear the shirt, wave the scarf, tennis balls at the end of the half

--

We don’t care what you do, Come on Hadley See us through

You know that it’s true, Hadley FC, We Love You

 

Middle Eight

Its our purpose its our reason, Brickfield Lane every season

And our faith will never falter, worship at the Hadley alter

-

Saturday, see your mates, 3 o’clock or early or late

San Marino, Leverstock Green, We are Hadley The greatest team

Excitement builds we’re ready to go, the smell of hot dogs up my nose

Steve Gray always believe, take Hadley to the top of the league

--

We don’t care what you do, Come on Hadley See us through

You know that it’s true, Hadley FC, We Love You
