West Ham United Football Club are an English professional football club based in Upton Park, Newham, London. They will play in the Barclays Premier League in 2012-13. The club was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks FC and reformed in 1900 as West Ham United. In 1904 the club relocated to their current Boleyn Ground stadium. They initially competed in the Southern League and Western League before eventually joining the full Football League in 1919 and subsequently enjoyed promotion to the top flight for the 1923 season. 1923 also saw the club feature in the first FA Cup Final to be held at Wembley against Bolton Wanderers.
In 1940 the team won the inaugural Football League War Cup. The club have won the FA Cup three times: in 1964, 1975 and 1980 as well as being runners-up twice, in 1923 and 2006. In 1965, they won the European Cup Winners Cup, and in 1999 they won the Intertoto Cup. They are one of eight[citation needed] clubs existing today to never compete below the second tier of English football; however, unlike the other seven, West Ham has never won the league title. The club's best final league position is third place in the 1985–86 (old) First Division.
This is me, I write the songs
I try to be right more than I'm wrong
I play the game, albeit not that well
I've done some things of which I'll never tell
When things are good, I stay the same
When things get bad, I don't complain
I may not be all that you hoped I will be
But I am just me
I come up short all over town
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
When I give back I take a little for myself
I am just like anybody else
I play the fool have but one vice
I am not always very nice
I live my life on stage, on queue
I do the things I have to do
Of this I am sure, life can be shit
I wouldn't change one day a bit
I may not be all that you hoped I will be
I know I am not the best you'll ever see
I may not be all that you hoped I would be
