Rave On

This Buddy Holly song gave the name to the Albion fanzine "Rave On" which took over from The Beanos in the early '90s. We owe a great deal of debt for this and many others to local busker Aki who can normally be found outside the Thistle Shopping Centre. Aki arrived on the Albion scene during our latter days at Annfield and often strummed his way through his ad-lib songs with the aid of his trusted guiter and the cowshed choir. He seems to have disappeared recently after a friendly steward confiscated his "best friend". But i'm sure we'll see him again.

It's the way we play and the way we score,

The way we're winning at half past four,

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

We drink beer and we drink shots,

We're Allan Moore's soccer cosmonaut's

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

Come to Forthbank, don't be shy,

You'll get a Bovril and you'll get a pie,

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

We beat you on plastic, we play you on grass,

If you don't like it you can stick it up your @rse,

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

They moan, they groan, the complain like hell,

But Falkirk arnae getting in the SPL,

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

To pay eight quid, it's worth you while,

To see Scott McLean turn on the style,

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,

Rave on Stirling Albion

_____

To get promotion, that's the plan,

Clap your hands if you're an Albion man,

(Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)

Rave on Stirling Albion, Rave on Stirling Albion,
