Odeon SongsOdes for the Odeon(1.) Tune of Jingle Bells Dashing through the blow The Odeon they'd slay Above our heads they'll go Laughing all the way Changes we must ring With our spirits bright Oh what fun to laugh and sing When the council do what's right 'O-de-on O O-de-on we're with you all the way oh what fun it'll be to see... Who gets kicked out in May (repeat) (2) Tune of While shepherds Yorkshire Forward spends our cash To raise us to the ground They just want to knock us down And leave just holes around Fear us, they said, your town is dead Your views we will not mind Great buildings in your town we'll eat and leave just waste behind To us in Bradford town this day Still stands the Odeon dear We'll fight to keep it standing still And quangos we'll not fear This is our town, we love it still We are not fools or sheep We'll stand and fight for what is left And the O-de-on we'll keep.. (3)Tune of O Little Town of Bethlehem O Odeon stark of Bradford town How sad we see thee stand Amongst the dark, decrepit streets That concrete men have planned And yet our hopes still shineth Our council sees the light Ends Mistakes and tears of all the years And does to you what's right! (4) Tune of We Three Kings We three kings of Wastefield are Flat-ten-ing we traverse afar Town and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star O Star of money, star of might Cash with royal portrait bright Downward leading, still proceeding Guide us into deeper shite (5) Tune of Ding Dong Merrily On High Our leaders p*ss on us from high The Odeon - preserve it leaders p*ss on us from high... .. we really don't deserve it Ooh, o o o o o, oooh o o o o o, ooh o o o o o Odeon Now council lets preserve it Ooh, o o o o o, oooh o o o o o, ooh o o o o o Odeon Now council lets preserve it ============================== Old Man Odeon There's a town called the Bradford City There's a place that I have to be We really do care that the town's got troubles The holes in the ground are for all to see Old man Odeon, that old man Odeon It does mean something But counts for nothing They just keep knocking, they keep on knocking things down We've lost the Swan and we've lost the Kirkgate They want hole in the ground to be the Odeon's sad fat We must stop knocking, we must stop them knocking it down. Bradford council just looks for gain From a city that's broken and racked with pain Watch things fall Eat their tale You don't pay your taxes and you end in jail I get so weary, I'm sick of lying From a council that's lost it in a town that's dying But old man Odeon, we'll keep him standing, just keep him standing, so long The Save Our Odeon facebook group.
