West Ham United · England · 1920s
I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles
A music-hall song from 1918 that West Ham fans have sung since the 1920s. It is one of the oldest continuous club songs in England.
I’m forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air.
When it is sung
Before kick-off, with the bubbles machine running. The song is slow, and the whole stand sways rather than jumps.
A club song is not entertainment. It sets the stadium’s tempo, signals to players that the crowd still believes, and in a silent match it can be the only pressure the away team feels.
