SWORDS OF A THOUSAND MEN










We had to meet the enemy a mile away
there was thunder in the air and the sky turned grey
Jacko's on the ball and Yann is looking sharp
there was hope in our Charlton hearts

Hear us shout, hear us roar
we're gonna beat the Spanners and much much more
hoorah hoorah hoorah yea
into The Valley with the swords of a thousand men.

CLASSIC ADDICKS











Valley Floyd Road, oh mist rolling in from the Thames
my desire is always to be found at Valley Floyd Road
many miles have i travelled, many games have i seen
following Charlton my favourite team
many hours have i spent in the Covered End Choir
singing Valley Floyd Road my only desire
Valley Floyd Road, oh mist rolling in from the Thames
my desire is always to be found at Valley Floyd Road
from Selhurst to West Ham many years did we roam
forever dreaming of returning home
to follow our team every year we aspired
singing Valley Floyd Road in the Covered End Choir
Valley Floyd Road, oh mist rolling in from the Thames
my desire is always to be found at Valley Floyd Road
the fifth of December nineteen ninety two
the exile is over our dream has come true
Charlton at home there's no more i require
singing Valley Floyd Road my only desire
Valley Floyd Road, oh mist rolling in from the Thames
my desire is always to be found at Valley Floyd Road.

 





when the Red Red Robin goes bob bob bobbing along, along
there'll be no more sobbing
when he starts throbbing his old sweet song
wake up, wake up you sleepy head
get up, get up get out of bed
cheer up, cheer up the sun is red
live, love, laugh and be happy
what if i've been blue now i'm walking through fields of flowers
rain may glisten but still i listen for hours and hours
i'm just a kid again doing what i did again, singing a song
when the Red Red Robin goes bob bob bobbing along.

PALARSE AND MILLWALL STUFF











It's a grand old team to play for
it's a grand old team to see
and if you know your history
it's enough to make your heart go whoa oh oh oh
we don't care what the Palace say
what the hell do we care
cos we only know that there's gonna be a show
and the Charlton Athletic will be there.

number one, number one
number one in South London
number one in South London.

hark now hear the Charlton sing
listen to what we say
those Palace scum will pay the price
because of Sydenham Day.

you go to the pub and you drink one pint
get absolutely plastered
then you jump on a train and you beat up some kids
you're a dirty Palace bastard.

super Charlton Ath-er-letic, Palace are atrocious
stupid ultra wannabees who try to sound ferocious
all they do is talk old bollocks and they sound precocious
super Charlton Ath-er-letic, Palace are atrocious.
um diddle iddle iddle um diddle i
um diddle iddle iddle um diddle i.

Palace Palace who the fuck are Palace.

your sister is your mother
your father is your brother
you're fucking one another
the Millwall family.

hello hello we are the Charlton boys
hello hello we are the Charlton boys
and if you are a Palace fan surrender or you'll die
we all follow the Charlton.

we are the pride of all London, the kings of the south
and we hate the Palace 'cos they are all mouth
the Addicks will rise and the Eagles will fall
we are Charlton the greatest of all.

oh (Selhurst Park) is full of shit
oh (Selhurst Park) is full of shit
it's full of shit, shit and more shit
oh (Selhurst Park) is full of shit.

if i had the wings of a sparrow
if i had the arse of a crow
i'd fly over Palace tomorrow
and shit on the bastards below.

chim chimanee chim chimanee chim chim charoo
we hate the Palace in their red and blue
and we hate Millwall in their blue and white
'cos we're super Charlton and they're fucking shite.

hear us shout, hear us roar
we're gonna beat the (Palace) and much much more
hoo-rah hoo-rah hoo-rah yeah
in to The Valley with the swords of a thousand men.

build a bonfire, build a bonfire
put the Palace on the top
put the Millwall in the middle
and burn the fucking lot.

fuck em all, fuck em all
Crystal Pal-arse and Millwall
'cos we are the Charlton and we are the best
we're South London's Finest so fuck all the rest.

if you want to go to heaven when you die
you should always keep the red flag flying high
and you should always wear a bonnet
with fuck the Palace on it
if you want to go to heaven when you die.

if you all hate Palace clap your hands
if you all hate Palace clap your hands
if you all hate Palace all hate Palace
all hate Palace clap your hands
if you really really hate them clap your hands........

stand up if you hate Palace............

can you hear the Palace sing no-oh no-oh

E-I-E-I-E-I-O up the Football League we'll go
when we get promotion this is what we'll sing
we are Charlton we are Charlton
Chrissy is our king.

we're Charlton Athletic, we're top of the league.

we shall not, we shall not be moved
we shall not, we shall not be moved
just like a team that's going up the Football League
we shall not be moved.

we are going up, say we are going up.

the reds are going up, the reds are going up
and now you're gonna believe us
and now you're gonna believe us
and now you're gonna believe us
the reds are going up.

MORE FROM THE HYMN BOOK






 






who's that team from South East London
who's the best there's ever been
we are Charlton and we know
that wherever you may go
you will never see a greater football team.

you are my Charlton, my only Charlton
you make me happy when skies are grey
you'll never know just how much i love you
please don't take my Charlton away.

we all follow the Charlton
over land and sea (and Leicester)
we all follow the Charlton
on to victory.

if you want to go to heaven when you die
you should always keep the red flag flying high
and you should always wear a bonnet
with fuck the Palace on it
if you want to go to heaven when you die.

we are Charlton Athletic, Charlton Athletic FC
we're by far the best team, the world has ever seen.

SOME NEW STUFF














"The Flintstones"
Charlton super Charlton
we were great with Alan Curbishley
now with Chrissy Powell
we're the best team in the Football League.

Flying high up in the sky
we'll keep the red flag flying high
from Selhurst Park and years of pain
to Upton Park then home again
above The Valley in the sky
we'll keep the red flag flying high.

swing low sweet Valiant, coming for to carry me home
swing low sweet Valiant, home to The Valley, Floyd Road.

my old man's an Addick, he wears a Charlton hat
he sits up in the North Stand and gives it lots of 'that'
he's got no time for Palace or Millwall 'cos they're shite
and he hates the scum from Gillingham
and we all know that he's right.

NICKED WHILE ON THE ROAD















Olivia Newton-John hit borrowed by ManUre fans
take me home down Floyd Road
to the place i belong
at The Valley watching Charlton
take me home down Floyd Road.


The Geordie classic
all the lads and lasses with their happy smiling faces
standing in the Covered End to see the Charlton aces.


well, everyone's nicked this one
oh when the reds go marching in
oh when the reds go marching in
i want to be in that number
oh when the reds go marching in.

Chelsea "hit" from the 70's
red is the colour, football is the game
and down at The Valley where winning is our aim
we'll cheer them on through the sun and rain
'cos Charlton, Charlton is our name.

not sure about where this started, so no apologies......
said Matt Busby to Bill Shankly
have you heard of the North Bank Highbury
Shanks said no i don't think so
but i've heard of the Covered End Charlton.

CHARLTON FANS ON VIDEO

Just a few video selections from our relegation season which show the Addickted in fine form, no more so than the night we actually went down, courtesy of the Spuds.

A memorable night (despite the result), captured perfectly on two videos by Andy the Addick. Also featured is a compilation by Mike CAFC showing other terrace highlights from the season. I hope you don't mind fellas.
