    "Can't be Sure" by The Sundays. Just for the following lyrics that sum the country up:

    "Aah
    England my country the home of the free
    Such miserable weather
    But England's as happy as England can be
    Why cry"

    Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem are both better than God Save the Queen.

    Jerusalem first, Land of hope and glory second.
    Watching the D-day thingy today, when they played God save the queen it was like a dirge alongside the French Marseillaise.
    Jerusalem always brings a lump to my throat and a tiny tear to my eye.... big softie me.

    This is England by the Clash

    Just replace the words "Sheffield Steel" with "Yorkshire Pudding" or something.

    Jerusalem

    God Save the King/queen was introduced when the Hanoverian kings came over for some reason.

    Get rid of it and let's have something that speaks of the country, not the monarch

    Re: Jerusalem

    Suppose you could leave God Save the Queen as a British anthem and have a specific one for England, like the other British nations do.

    Jerusalem is the obvious choice, I doubt they'd ever consider anything more modern.

    Re: Jerusalem

    A Horrible and Disgusting song with racial lyrics.

    Little wonder we want out.

    Verse 6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
    May by thy mighty aid
    Victory bring.
    May he sedition hush,
    And like a torrent rush,
    Rebellious Scots to crush.

    Singing about the Highland clearances and the slaughtering of the Jacobites.

    Re: Jerusalem

    National anthems are ******, especially at sporting occasions. Would like competitions to have their own anthems, i.e. Champions League.

    We have a winner. But only if it's the full four and a half minutes.

    I think it'd be rather fitting if they only played it when Smalling and Jones had the ball.
