Bruce Springsteen is THE BOSS. Nobody writes songs better than him.

"I won't be insulted, I won't be wronged, and I won't be laid a hand on. I dont do these things to other people, and I expect the same from them." - John Wayne.



It was cup final night in Istanbul,
And the ref had just blown half time,
All the Reds around the world,
Looked to heaven for a sign,

...God was drinking his co-co,
And reading a good book,
When Shankly hammered on his door,
Screaming "Boss ya gotta look!",

Together they turned the TV on,
And watched the unholy score,
"This must be the work of the Devil" said God,
"Get Bob in here and shut the door",

Together they made a plan,
To turn the game around,
"It's gonna take more than holy intervention" said Shanks,
"It needs a heavenly sound".

"But there is no choir of angels
That could lift those players hearts",
As Liverpool sat in the dressing room,
Waiting for the pain of the 2nd half to start,

"Listen" said Bob with a knowing smile,
"We don't have to worry",
"Grab your coat and get Emlyn",
"Quick Lad, we have to hurry"!

Shanks stood proud in the dressing room,
Telling Raffa what to say,
While Bob listened in on Milan's plans,
For information he could relay,

Emlyn sat in between the Kop,
To cheer the supporters up,
Not one person in the world,
Thought that the Reds would lift that cup,

Then somewhere in the distance,
A shout--"WE CAN TAKE OLD BIG EARS HOME!",
Then we got engulfed in the heavenly sound,
Of "You'll Never Walk Alone".

The song lit up the dressing room,
Bill smiled "Our work is done",
Bill Shankly, Bob and Emlyn,
They knew the cup was won.

For there is no choir of angels,
That can out sing the Kop,
No golden harps or trumpets,
Can knock us off the top,

God had a word with Paisley,
He asked "Are you sure, there's lots more to play?"
"The cups going home to Anfield" said Bob,
"I know, it's the Liverpool way."

Shanks nodded his head with delight,
"He is correct sir, isn't he Hughes?"
Emlyn sagely answered,
"We've lit the glowing red fuse",

"And woken up the world's best player",
"The famous Liverpool Red twelfth man",
"Just sit back and watch how the Kop play",
"The shouting will kill off Milan".

So as a Red never disrespect,
The players in our team,
With us all shouting for them,
We will all realize our dreams.
