I also love some parts of the God Save the Queen lyrics. Like this subtle dig:

QuoteMay she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen

I do love Jerusalem. They should go with the ELP version.  :D

Sometimes I wonder what exactly we all missed out on when Jimi Hendrix died before he could join ELP and make it HELP. I bet it would have been epic.

I don't give a toss about it and am somewhat suspicious of the motives of those who're moving this 'idea'.  :bowler:

Jerusalem is beautiful but as grumbler said absolutely not suitable for an anthem.

Obviously, it should be:

Aces High?

Paschendale?

There might be half a dozen Maiden songs that would work.  :P

It has to be Jerusalem if it is not God Save the Queen. It was pretty much used as such during the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony IIRC.

England feels left out of the nationalist douchebaggery antics the smaller countries in the UK indulge in.

Shouldn't be one. Seeing England as a monolithic united entry is something that needs tearing down.
I don't think the separatists should have a veto over the anthem, even when their grounds are not strawman arguments.

:huh:
What on earth are you talking about?

You know, when I was playing soccer in high school, I decided to be a Tottenham fan.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.  :lol:

Walk street shuffle by 10cc and change it to The City Shuffle. Reflects the powers that be in England very well I think
