ABOUT "BLEEDING CLARET & BLUE"
-------------------------------------------------------
JOE HURLEY wrote "BLEEDING CLARET & BLUE"" shortly after our Semi-Final win,,, in celebration of WEST HAM UNITED reaching the 2006 FA CUP FINAL.. Hurley & THE NYC HAMMERS finished recording , mixing , Art, Printing ,just 2 days before the CUP FINAL,!
Hurley was flown to London the day before the final, racing straight from Heathrow to The Fri Night CD Launch bash, at VIC NAYLORS ( Pub in " Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels").
WEST HAM fans had already packed the PUB out by time Hurley & co, arrived .
After signing CDs, a HAMMERS party of singalongs, Knees Ups, chants & mayhem ensued with Lock-in lasting til 3am. ( Courtesy of top mate CHRIS SORENSEN, owner of VIC's)
At 7 am, the long drive to CARDIFF began.. Hungover Hammers blasted the CD on car stereos from LONDON to WALES, West Ham's team coach had ""Bleeding Claret & Blue"" roaring out on the long journey - SKY TV licensed BC&B to be played worldwide at Final whistle, IF WESTHAM won
-------
While the song pays tribute to the 2006 squad, BC&B is primarily a love letter, paying lyrical homage to UPTON PARK, & WEST HAM legends including BILLY BONDS, BOBBY MOORE, TREVOR BROOKING, GEOFF HURST, MARTIN PETERS, CLYDE BEST, JULIAN DICKS,, THE BOYS OF 86 & WHU's greatest managers, JOHN LYALL & RON GREENWOOD.(who had both just passed before the Final)
&
"All Our Captains, Bleeding Claret & Blue'
We'll never see the likes of them again.
Beginning in ballad-form, as a young boy's love affair with UPTON PARK & WEST HAM first stirs in the heart, "BC&B" quickly becomes a rocking, rousing ,EAST END sing-along !

"BLEEDING CLARET & BLUE" (Joe Hurley)
---------------------------------------
When we first fell in love, it was a cold Wednesday night
The floodlights wrapped their arms around me.
On a rented beer crate, with silk scarf and best mate
Ah, It felt just like heaven, not Bromley
There's been some sweet years & a fair share of tears
You can break my heart like an old lover
But it still beats in time with that old District line
Upton Park you're my soul and my brother
I know fortune's always hiding
But sometimes our dreams they come true
Here's to John and Ron and Mooro
All our Captains....Bleeding Claret and blue
Oh,Oh, Oh, The Claret and Blue
We're on our way to the Cup Final
A Hammer Strike, a Harewood smile
The Academy's the place to be for style
I said, we're on our way to the Cup Final
26 years, been quite awhile
So lets all sing a song.. for Johnny Lyall
(Johnny Lyall's Claret & Blue Army
Johnny Lyall's Claret & Blue Army )
We'll all do the Pardew Shuffle
As the gaffer leads us out the tunnel
When Zamora scores, we'll be singing Bubbles
From NYC to Copenhagen
The world's a Cockney... Mr Fagin
There'll be a Knees-Up Mother Brown in every pub and station
-
When The ball hit Trevor on the head
And Wembley sang that Westham led
We did not need a second invitation
When Bonzo climbed the Royal Steps
And William Hill paid out the bets
The Irons' roars were heard across the nation
We're on our way to the Cup Final
26 years, it's been a while
I've been dreaming of this day since I was a child
Then we'll all sing a marching tune
Yossi Yossi Benayoun
and Anton does the jig with Reo-Coker
We're on our way to the Cup Final
We'll turn it on East London style
Thank you Pardew... and here's to Johnny Lyall
You'll have to foul us 'cos you cant play us
We are the great entertainers
Yes, we are the famous..... Claret and Blue
And our fortunes always hiding
But sometimes our dreams they come true
Best, Hurst, Peters, and Dicks and the Boys of 86
All the legends in the Claret and Blue
And our fortune's always hiding
But there's one thing my heart knows is true
Here's to John and Ron and Mooro
Watching over...all us Claret and Blue....

Ext Version Lyrics- 2006 West Ham Squad are named over the repeating choruses- from Shaka Hislop through Kyle Reid.)
And the Boys of 64, 65, ...and 66!
And 1975, and 1980....
