  • A wave for the cameras
    All fur coat and no knickers
    Jayne Mansfield she came down
    To cheer up the town lord Bono and his pals
    They were a bit too busy saving the world
    Well you have to take your
    Hat off to The Edge

    Those were the days my friend
    We took the Stretford End
    Now it's a Theatre of Dreams™
    It's all smiles and handshakes
    There's not a function I can't make
    If the photo opportunity knocks
    (two minutes Mr smith) so long you suckers
    All fur coat and no knickers
    Cos I just sold my funeral to Hell–Oh Oh Oh
    Those were the days my friend

    We took the Stretford End
    Now it's a Theatre of Dream Writer/s: ALLAN WHALLEY, JUDITH ABBOTT, LOUISE WATTS, NEIL FERGUSON
