Hooliganism is disruptive or unlawful behavior such as rioting, bullying, and vandalism.
There are several theories regarding the origin of the word hooliganism, which is a derivative of the word hooligan. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary states that the word may have originated from the surname of a fictional rowdy Irish family in a music hall song of the 1890s. Clarence Rook, in his 1899 book, Hooligan Nights, wrote that the word came from Patrick Hoolihan (or Hooligan), an Irish bouncer and thief who lived in London. In 2015, it was said in the BBC Scotland TV programme The Secret Life of Midges that the English commander-in-chief during the Jacobite rising of 1745, General Wade, misheard the local Scots Gaelic word for midge—meanbh-chuileag—and coined the word hooligan to describe his fury and frustration at the way the tiny biting creatures made the life of his soldiers and himself a misery; this derivation may be apocryphal.
The first use of the term is unknown, but the word first appeared in print in London police-court reports in 1894 referring to the name of a gang of youths in the Lambeth area of London—the Hooligan Boys, and later—the O'Hooligan Boys.
Every moment I've waited
Counting down the hours
Caught in the falling sands of time
I'm feeling frustrated in my ivory tower
Without ever knowing compromise
And now all we can see
Is there for you and me
We're the lucky ones
Waiting for tomorrow
We don't share your sorrow
Cause we're the lucky ones
Taken the pieces
Get it straight in your mind
Given a reason you'll decide
You take it or leave it
You're feeling on the outside
Heaven knows at least you tried
And now all we can see
Is there for you and me
We're the lucky ones
Waiting for tomorrow
We don't share your sorrow
Cause we're the lucky ones
When it's something you've felt for a long time
You gotta leave it or let it go
You say you mean it you say you believe but you don't
And now all we can see
Is there for you and me
We're the lucky ones
Waiting for tomorrow
We don't share your sorrow
