Takin' over France
Taking Dreams to the Pitch: Ireland's Euro Odyssey
Lyrics
Started over in Georgia
Started a new phase in Georgia.
Pulled it out of the bag
Succeeded against the odds.
McGeady off the left
Aiden McGeady's contribution from the left side began the success.
And that's where it began
That moment marked the beginning.
Seven against Gibraltar
Faced Gibraltar with seven players, implying a dominant performance.
And the Germans next in store
Next challenge was against the Germans.
And that's when John O'Shea became a god forever more
John O'Shea's remarkable performance made him legendary.
Slipped up against the Scots
Had a setback against Scotland.
But the lads kept the head
The team stayed composed despite the setback.
With Germany coming over
Gearing up to face a strong German team.
To put our hopes to bed
Expectation of failure against Germany.
Well no one gave us a chance
No one believed they could win.
They said that we'd be bet
Predictions were against their victory.
Till Randolph knocked it up and Shane Long stuck it in the next
A crucial play by Randolph and Long resulted in a goal.
Singing, Stand up for the boys in green
Support for the Irish team.
Ole ole and a chance to dream
Cheering for the team and a chance to hope for success.
We're heading to the euros, we're taking over France
Confident about qualifying for the Euros and dominating France.
We might get hammered but we're going to take the chance
Accepting the possibility of defeat but still taking the opportunity.
Shoes off for the boys in green
Show support for the team by removing shoes.
If there's one thing I know it's that there's going to be scenes
Anticipating celebratory scenes due to success.
Cos we're heading to the euros we're taking over France
Emphasizing the team's intent to dominate in France.
We might get hammered but we'll take the feckin chance
Despite potential defeat, they're willing to take the chance.
We used to dream of teams of Gary Breens
Previously admired less skilled players, now have better ones.
But now we've Johnny Walters and we've still got Robbie Keane
Transition from older players to new ones like Walters and Keane.
And we've got Glenn Whelan to break lads up
Glenn Whelan's role in breaking up opposition plays.
His touch might not be the best but we don't give a f**k
Acceptance of Whelan's limitations but valuing his contribution.
And we've got Robbie Brady to ping it from the left
Praising Robbie Brady's ability to deliver from the left side.
Coleman on the right to put it on Shane Longs chest
Coleman's skill in providing opportunities for Shane Long.
McClean to pick up yellows, and O'Shea leading the back
James McClean's aggressive style and John O'Shea's leadership.
And Wes in the middle, to set up the attack
Wes Hoolahan's role in initiating the team's offensive moves.
The hype is starting to build
Excitement and anticipation building up around the team.
And you can feel a sense of hope
Feeling hopeful about the team's prospects.
And Eamonn John and Liam are preparing all their notes
Mentioning analysts preparing for the tournament.
And Bill will be watching over them to keep the lads in check
Bill keeping a check on the team's strategies and criticisms.
As they give out about long balls, and not keeping it on the deck
Criticisms about the team's playing style.
Well bags are being packed
Preparations being made to travel.
And flags are being made
Fans getting ready and flags being made to support the team.
And every day more and more will join the green brigade
Anticipation of more supporters joining the fanbase.
Thousands will head over
Expecting thousands of supporters to travel for the tournament.
On planes boats and cars
Various modes of transportation used by fans to reach the stadiums.
To pack out all the stadiums and clean out all the bars
Expectation of fans crowding stadiums and socializing in bars.
