Sweet Caroline

The world of musical theatre may seem a million miles from the stands of Liverpool's Anfield Stadium. So how did a big ballad from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel end up as a symbol of The Reds?

You’ll Never Walk Alone began life on Broadway as part of the Rodgers and Hammersteinshow, Carousel, which was premiered in 1945.

The song was an instant hit – perhaps because the song’s message of triumph in times of adversity spoke to the wartime crowds of April 1945 – less than a month before the end of World War Two.

It remained popular throughout the ’50s, with artists including Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley releasing covers. Then in 1963, a recording by Merseybeat band Gerry And The Pacemakers brought the song to the doorstep of Liverpool FC.

Sweet Caroline is fantastic ..on say Poole Quay after a Queens Jubilee safari when you've eaten half a pig in 'Spoons and dropped 6 real ales and a quart of single malt south to your todger.. but at an English Football ground..it just don't cut it Popeye!
 
God save the Queen
A fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming
Don't be told about what you want
Don't be told about what you need
No future, no future, no future for you
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
Tourists are money
But our figurehead
Is not what she seems
God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord, have mercy!
All crimes are paid
When there's no future, how can there be sin?
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in the human machine
We're the future, we're the future
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future, no future
No future for you
 
When Sweet Caroline was played I felt it brought a feel good factor to the game , ahead of Red Army, and people of all generations sang alone. The new so called song is just background noise and there is little evidence of any one joining in.
