An ode to Seagulls Fans around the World

A ode to my Seagulls Brothers and Sisters across the world!!

I may be oh so far away From my be-love-ed-Brighton But the California coast right now’s Not too bad a consolation.

Each Saturday, at the early dawn Serves as a reminder That my childhood years, when school was out Were so often that much kinder.

Down Woodland Drive and across Hove Park Was the path I trod with Adam To the Shoreham Road and the Goldstone Ground Where our hearts would surely gladden.

As the sun goes down on Friday eve I’m focused on getting ready For the 4am alarm call

For which I must be ready.

Cos I gotta be awake for the pre-match

With anticipation and glee

To see the boys emerge from the tunnel

Singing Sussex by the Sea.

It’s early here across the pond

When they kick off down in Falmer

Not too high a price I have to pay

For living in California. 

Not long ago we were down and out 

No ground or team to speak of

But in stepped Dick and Uncle Tony

To ensure that we had lift off.

Thanks to Johnny, Warren and the BBC

I get my fix of Brighton 

And let’s give thanks to NBC

Whose TV coverage is just “right on.”

To the seagulls fans across the world

We all know who you are

Part of an Albion family

Now committed from afar.

We’ve all spent great years in Sussex 

A place we all call home 

Yes, we’re abroad but we’re really

Just as Brighton as the Dome!

How great was that win against the mighty Spurs? 

How awesome that feeling of joy

You can take the boy out of Brighton

But not Brighton out of the boy!!
