The Soaring

I get some people poking around here looking for the [tag]West Coast Eagles theme song lyrics[/tag]. Of course, we’re actually talking about the [tag]West Coast Eagles club song lyrics[/tag], but I know what you mean.

The official lyrics are pretty simple, it’s just padded for effect:

Hey Eagles, hey Eagles, hey Eagles, hey Eagles

We’re flying high, we’re flying high
We’re flying high, we’re flying high

We’re the Eagles, the West Coast Eagles
And we’re here to show you why
We’re the big birds, kings of the big game
We’re the Eagles, we’re flying high

We’re flying high, we’re flying high
We’re flying high

We’re the Eagles, the West Coast Eagles
And we’re here to show you why
We’re the big birds, kings of the big game
We’re the Eagles, we’re flying high

We’re the Eagles, the West Coast Eagles
And we’re here to show you why
We’re the big birds, kings of the big game
We’re the Eagles, we’re flying high

We’re the Eagles, we’re flying high

Now, they are the revised lyrics. The old school, original lyrics to the Eagles club song are probably what you are after:

For years they took the best of us
And claimed them for their own
But now we’ve got them back again
Our Eagles have come home

We’re the Eagles - West Coast Eagles
And we’re here to show you why
We’re the big birds, kings of the big game
We’re the Eagles, We’re flying high

For years we learned the lessons
And learned them very well
Now we’ve added West Coast magic
And we’ll give you merry hell

-Chorus-

So watch out all know alls
All you wise men from east
You’ll get more than just a footy game
You’ll get a West Coast feast

-Chorus-

Now tell me, which of those gets you going more? It’s got to be the backs to the wall, underdog stirring, us vs. them old school version! Unfortunately, it’s gone - a victim of political correctness or some sort of Victorian or anti-feasting/magic/merry hell conspiracy.

Note: Some background. The [tag]original West Coast Eagles club song lyrics[/tag] were taken from the book “Soaring” written by the late Geoff Christian, a history of the Eagles first ten years. It is this book that I named this website after.

Incidentally, I recall I was going to name it “merryhell.com” but went for the safer option. Damn, Merry Hell.com would’ve been a cool name.

Wait there’s more: This was sent to me as “best sound ever”. I’m sure you’ll agree (.mp3 new school version).
