I think if my old memory is correct that Paul MaCartney also had a wee hand in the Urban Spaceman as well.
It was, but d'ye remember the B side?It was just the Chorus that was sung 'Rangers are the Champions'
It was Marmalade that had it out as a single
They maybe both sang it mate, it was just about my time lolYes it was.but it was before my time (just) that’s my excuse for getting them mixed up
and gave badfinger a top ten hit with "come and get it"I think if my old memory is correct that Paul MaCartney also had a wee hand in the Urban Spaceman as well.

Late 60’s/early 70’s it was.Don't remember that song at our games , if it was more likely to be late sixties/ early 70s.
Loved this little ditty.Thought Dean Ford was from Coatbridge and Junior Campbell was from Springboig.
Dean Ford died a couple of years ago on NY eve/day and Pat Fairley died in August this year.
That is the version I used to sing. I think my big brother taught me it. There was many a good song mimicked on the terraces. There was another song he used to sing that went “ they were shagging all the nunsI recall my brother singing, and it's stuck with me to this day,
I'd like to teach the world to sing
The sash my father wore
I'd like to hang the pope
From an orange rope
Outside a Chapel door
Couldn't say if these were the words sang on the terraces or just his version

“Just by Bridgeton cross when the Pope fell of his horse and the eagles on his banner flew away.
He was shaging all his nuns when he heard the orange guns and the dirty 19th Century Terrorist bastard ran away”

To us older Bears it is quite astonishing. They were always the huns but I think the Scotland fans were called it at Wembley and somehow it stuck with us. Ridiculously inappropriate!
