Some people believe in astrology

Others believe in technology

Some people believe in all those "ologies"

But I believe in swordfish

He believes in swordfish

I believe in Happy Days

I believe in Joanie Loves Crotchie

I believe in all that TV crap

And I believe in swordfish

He believes in swordfish

Came up from the ghetto with the help of my stiletto

Every day I hear the people groan:

Why should we buy postage stamps?

We can make our own

We maybe doing something wrong

We could be running a little too long

I guess we better end this song

I say I believe in swordfish

He believes in swordfish

Taken from RAWK.

 

'It's not necessarily about winning',

Said Thomas O. Hicks, a businessman grinning,

A phrase lost in amongst all the mud that's been slinging,

And the lies that this weasel is constantly spinning.

 

Sports business success is about those loyal sheep,

Who'll walk through the turnstiles even if it's not cheap,

He can talk openly about the great profits he'll reap,

While they can't walk away because their love is too deep.

 

So while these true fans remain hopelessly loyal,

The team that they love goes a bit off the boil,

Losing one of the few joys for which they must toil.

Is there anything money and greed cannot spoil?

 

These recent events have caused a great split,

And our beliefs and traditions have taken a hit.

But can we really stand by and just take all this shit?

While Hicks counts his dollars. The smug, greedy git.

 

I feel for those who think protests aren't our way,

And simply want to watch our eleven men play.

But only our full voice will make this man sway,

It's our club to protect at the end of the day.

 

We need to stand up and we must stand together,

Apathy cannot win, it's now or it's never.

It's not about this way or that way is better,

It's showing these Yanks that stealing our club is not clever.

 

Our strength is in numbers, we've got more than the mob,

They've stolen our club and Hicks won't shut his gob,

And they say it's scousers who are the ones who are out on the rob?

It's our club to fight for. That is our job.

Tom Hicks, co-owner of Kop Football (Holdings) Limited and, through it, of Liverpool Football Club, today issued the following statement:

"Based on a meeting held earlier today in Dubai between my representatives and officials of Dubai International Capital LLC, as well as other recent contacts between us and them, I have decided to terminate any further discussions with DIC regarding their possible purchase of a minority stake in Kop and, in turn, in the Club.

 

"DIC made it clear that if they invested in the Club, they would want it to be managed by committee. Based on my thirteen years of successful experience as an owner of professional sports teams, and based in particular on the situation at Liverpool Football Club over the past year, it is clear to me that such a committee approach would not be in the best interest of Kop, of the Club or of the Club's loyal and passionate supporters.

 

"Accordingly, I have decided to exercise my right under the Kop Football (Holdings) Limited partnership agreement to veto any sale of any portion of Kop and the Club to DIC.

 

"I and my colleagues and representatives will continue to explore a number of other options with regard to the ownership of Kop and the Club aimed at achieving an appropriate ownership, financial and organizational structure for Kop and the Club over the long term."

 

ah well, there goes our chance of beibng rich, AGAIN
