The English National Anthem
« on: 24 April 2012, 14:39:48 »
I've always felt that there should be an official English national anthem, that would be sung/played at English events such as sporting internationals, reserving God Save The Queen exclusively for British events. 

So in the wake of St George's day I thought I'd start a poll to see what the consensus is here.  I've included God Save The Queen for those who like things as they are.  Feel free to vote or comment if you're from another country.  If I havn't included the song you'd like tick other and tell us what you'd like.

 :) :) :)

Sing your hearts out for the lads ................

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.


God save the queen ?

Which version are we talking about here  :-X :-X :-X

There wasn't an option for 'who cares' or 'none' so I voted for God Save the Queen - that way we won't have to spend millions on focus groups, discussion committees and MPs expenses while they have a jolly somewhere to discuss it.. ;D
