This team has walked through several storms and seen golden skies
In the kop we've sang together and sometimes we've cried
But always there is unity, a strength we have together
And the hope will always keep us going, no matter what the weather
My Escape
When times are hard and money's scarce
And things don't go my way
As long as Liverpool is playing
My cares all fade away
LFC - History
On the fifteenth day in March, in eighteen ninety-two
John Houlding made a team and he called it Liverpool
His pal, John McKenna, signed up twelve Scottish lads
And brought them down to Anfield, the team of the 'All Macs'
Tom Watson signed up Reisback, a player who proved vital
And in the year 1901, they won their first league title
Relegated two years later, they fought their way back up
Next year they were promoted and they won their second cup
Many local Liverpool men had died on the Spion Kop
In Northern Natal, South Africa, a 'look-out' mountain top
To reward the fans of Liverpool and in remembrance of those gone
The Committee built a Kop in Anfield where their memory could live on
Another war soon followed after the 'war to end all war'
Then Liverpool were relegated in nineteen fifty-four
Anfield was old and crumbling, the training ground was poor
The players' morale was low and their future was unsure
Liverpool needed a miracle if they were to come unstuck
Then in '59 the miracle came from Scotland's own Glenbuck
Bill Shankly was appointed to turn the team around
And the impact of this Scottish man was to be profound
He loved the Liverpool people and he made Anfield his home
And the Liverpool people loved him back, he was one of their own
He worked hard for promotion which came in '61
He gave us pride and passion and he taught us to walk on
We won another league title but the toffees wound us up
Because despite our efforts we didn't have the FA Cup
Then in '65 at Wembley, the FA Cup we got
With a little help from Ian St. John, another Anfield Scot
When Shanks retired as manager Bob Paisley was given the reins
The most successful manager, to this day he remains
He took the lads to Italy on a European campaign
We won the Euro champions cup and next year did the same
We won a third against real madrid in Paris in '81
He helped us win the league six times while Everton looked on
Joe Fagan replaced Paisley and it wasn't long before
The lads were off to Italy to win a cup once more
Another Euro final which should have been exciting
Playing against Juventus but the fans they started fighting
The Heysel Stadium, Belgium was old and in decay
A wall collapsed and took the lives of 39 fans that day
The following year King Kenny led the Liverpool team
The FA Cup against Everton and Rushie was a dream
Another two league titles, everything was going great
Another FA Semi-final and the fans they couldn't wait
Many fans were late that day so police opened the gate
No ushers though to guide them, so they just kept going straight
But a crush ensued inside the pens in which 94 fans died
Then two more, 96 in total, the whole of Liverpool cried
Things were very bleak at Anfield, the team was not the same
Then in 1998, Frenchman, Gerard Houllier came
He brought in players like Owen and helped Gerrard's career
And we became the first English team to win five cups in one year
In 2004 when Houllier left, Rafa Benitez came
Next year we went to Istanbul and made ourselves a name
The half time whistle sounded and we were three goals down
Not ones to give up easily though we turned the game around.
Now the future's looking brighter, Gilette and Hicks have us intrigued
And maybe in a year or two we'll win the premiership league
