In 1927, an advertising campaign appeared for soap. It featured a curly haired child blowing soap bubbles, who was likened to one of the West Ham players.This young gifted player was called Billy J. "Bubbles" Murray, so called because of his distinct and almost uncanny resemblance to the boy in the famous painting by Millais entitled "Bubbles". The song stuck with the fans when "Bubbles" made it to, and stayed in the first team for many years.
This unlikely imagery provided the Hammers with their club anthem, which is roared by supporters several times during the course of a game.
The lyrics are as follows:
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
And like my dreams, they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding
I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air!
As a tribute to West Ham, the punk rock band the Cockney Rejects covered the song in 1980.

No idea, but I have my own version...
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high
Nearly reach the sky
Then like West Ham they fade and die
Fortune always finds us
When we're playing there
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
Sorry... I got carried away. :-) Oooops!

They're forever blowing 3 pts so they may as well go the whole hog and blow some bubbles.

extraordinarily bubbles contained in the air, They fly so intense they contact the sky compared to Coker(regrettably.) they fade and die. nicely perhaps not something that drastic, yet will be satisfied to confirm the decrease back of him and his associates, they did this to us and that i desire they pay for it down the line. nicely all i will say is " it´s very last season come previous due. "i became searching ahead to at least something like this our first season up, it really is what makes it so galling. To have performed so nicely the previous season and to get nowhere close to it this.And lets have yet for a particular few. .
