Side

Verse 1

Oh I believe there’s someone looking up to us,
They play across the river down the way
They think they’ve got a team that’s better than us,
They’ll realise one day

Oh

That the club is always better on the other side
Nottingham Forest always beat the pies
And it doesn’t make a difference how hard you try....
We don’t care how many players you sign
We win the Cup every time
We’re Red and White, Notts are shite
The city only has one side

Verse 2

We try to play our game how its meant to be,
For fear of playing football in the clouds
But they won’t let us do it properly,
Just keep it on the ground

Oh

The team is always better on the other side
They’re better no matter how hard we try
Time is running out, down the league we slide....
We always hear the same old things
We’re not as good as we have been
Score more goals, get more wins
Learn to do the simple things

Verse 3

We haven’t won a single thing in 20 years,
We’re stuck down here in Division One
And though you may feel like shedding tears,
Remember what we’ve won

Oh

At least we once had a Cup Winning side
They won in Europe and gave us pride
Our past history is hard to hide....
We all remember Brian Clough
We did it once and that’s enough
We’ll be back one day, it could be soon
So there’s no need for doom and gloom
