Give Us A Goal

UK, 24th February, 1978
Barn Records - 2014 121

The band's fourth Barn single, a football-themed anthem and another non-album track, failed to chart in the UK Singles Charts, despite radio airplay, which "Burning In The Heat Of Love" didn't seem to get?

UK / French Picture Cover of "Give Us A Goal".




Despite the song's not charting, Polydor did deem the disc a strong enough contender to be included on the "Slade Smashes" Compilation Album in 1980, though!



"SOCCER SONG" Acetate!

My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star

Give Us A Goal
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)

Let's go
Let's go
Let's just call a whip off
A drink before the kick off
Get in the mood for Saturday's game
Five to three they zip on
The lads have got their strip on
We're gonna thrash you ain't that a shame

We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Stop your fancy fooling 'round and give us a goal
We'll chase ya then race ya
You can't catch a cold
Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal

Give it to the winger
All the crowd's a singer
We're gonna take the top off the stands
Rattling these rattles
Then powerful in their tackles
Get together clapping your hands

We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Get the ball into the net and give us a goal
A blaster right past ya
You're losing control
You're playing now with two left feet and they've got a goal
Let's go

Hear the crowds a howling
Did ya see the fouling
The ref needs specs he's deaf dumb and blind
Shoot you silly f-fool
OK now show 'em we rule
The goalie's sat down on his behind

We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Come on the lad now no mistakes just give us a goal

We'll skin ya we'll win ya
'Cos we're back in control
Come on the lads you got it made now give us a goal

We'll chase ya and we'll race ya
'Cos they can't catch a cold
More more shoot score give us a goal

Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal


Daddio
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)

Daddio do the nasty
Daddio don't come home
Daddio's working on a 7 year itch
Daddio's ready to roam

Daddio plays the horses
Daddio's out of luck
Mama mama mama it's a sure fire shot
Daddio he'd better run

Two timer once two timer twice
Two timer Daddio's holding up the dice
He make a buck, he make a deal
He makes a living on the spinning of a wheel

Daddio's doing the mambo
Daddio wanna swing
Daddio's always been a gambling man
Daddio's doing  his thing

Two time in love two time in hate
Two timer Daddio's making a mistake
Sometimes you lose sometimes you win
Two timer Daddio's take it on the chin

'Cos he
He's nothing but a doggone viewer
Trying to bet on the TV with his beer
Makes him feel how he wants to feel
Dadadada, [etc....]

Daddio do the nasty
Daddio don't he ain't comin' home no more
Daddio's working on a 7 year itch
Daddio's ready to roam

Two timer once two timer twice
Two timer Daddio's holding up the dice
Sometimes he hits
Sometimes he get'cha
Two timing Daddio take it he wants to bet ya

Daddio's a bingo [×4]
