The songs of Leeds United --> Track 16

We are Leeds, We are Proud

The chorus from this song is taken from a song that is very often sung by the crowd, "We're Leeds, and we're proud of it" (sung to the melody "Go West" of The Pet Shop Boys). It is repeated over and over again...

But let's go back to the song below. "We are Leeds, We are Proud" was presented as the Official Leeds United Anthem. It was released before the 1997/98 season, and it was played a lot at Elland Road. The CD-single may still be available from the Leeds United Collection. The first song on the CD-single is a full version of the song.

Melodies are difficult to describe, but this is a "pop-ish" song. If you talk to the oldest supporters in the Revie Stand, they will probably tell you that they don't like this song very much. Their anthem is the older song "Marching on Together" - we will let you judge for yourself. But we think it's fair to say that "We are Leeds, we are proud" has not achieved the position among the supporters that the club wished for when it was released. However, it is a good Leeds United song and we recommend that you buy the CD-single if you ever get the opportunity.

The 2nd song of the CD-single, is a version of the same song for those people hanging on to karaoke - i.e. there are no verses sung (though the chorus is sung on this version as well).

We are Leeds, We are Proud

(The Official Leeds United Anthem)
Randall & Britton - BBME Records - 1997
We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

Play with passion, play to win
The Leeds United spirit (spirit)
Is building from within
For the North (for the North)
We shine the light

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

When we score a goal
Hear the crowd at Elland Road
It's the place, where all our dreams are born
Victory, is in our sights (is in our sights)

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue

(solo)
For the North, For the North
For the North, For the North
(solo)

We are Leeds, we are proud
Standing up, singing loud
And there's nothing you can do
Against the yellow, white and blue
