Driving in my car this morning and Yazz and the only way is up comes on the radio, this song I always associate with the Albion, the lyrics seem to be fitting back when we were homeless and now even more this season...?!

We've been broken down
To the lowest turn
Bein' on the bottom line
Sure ain't no fun

But if we should be evicted
Huh, from our homes
We'll just move somewhere else
And still carry on

Oh (Hold on) hold on

The only way is up, this season....!!!!!

What's Up by 4 Non Bondes was also fitting in our final years at the Goldstone!
Also a few of the Jam tunes where you'd meet up and they'd be played on the duke box.. happy days!

Anyone else have songs they associate with the football?

3 points tonight please !!

Song association would be Tom Hark by the Piranhas for obvious reasons!

I still find it 100% impossible to hear this without changing the obvious

Whenever I hear Sacrifice by Elton John I think of sitting on the Goldstone North Stand terrace at half-time reading my programme. Happy days......now so long ago.....

Two songs.
Rod Stewart - Killing of Georgie was on the juke box at The Thatched Inn prior to our League Cup away trip to Derby County, 1976.
Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams - Too Much, Too Little, Too Late. Played on BBC Radio Brighton the morning after the 1978 Saints v Spurs stitch up.

Time for 'fessing up..
I "imagined " two songs could become North Stand Anthems with very small tweaks.. Titanium : no idea who sang it, and the classic from Elbow..
"Shoot us down, we're bullet proof, We are the Al-BI-ON" maybe with "Stand or Fall" crow-barred in there..
Elbow :
"Throw your arms out wide, one day like this a year can see us right" Picture the North Stand, with everyone standing, arms out wide as we head to victory!!
I now cannot hear these songs without a glow of embarrassment, but these two are now for me, and only me, associated with the Albion!

Cast - Walk Away.

This reminds me of the last game at the Goldstone. I did think at the time that Brighton wouldn't exist much longer after.
