Not sure about all the words but I think I know the first verse.
Land of hope and glory,mother of the free
How shall we extol thee,who are born of thee
Wider still and wider,shall the bound be set
God who made thee mighty,make thee mightier yet.
I have no doubt you will prove me wrong Barry. |

'thy bounds', iirc
ie let's go and conquer some more of the world.
Like I said, jingoistic nonsense. |

Yeah it is a bit out of date but do you not think it's an uplifting anthem. |

I think Pomp and Circumstance March No5 is a brilliant bit of music. Like Elgar, I think putting those words to it ruined it.

I've always thought the theme tune for the Radio 4 soap The Archers would make a good anthem for England. Its extremely English, doesn't have any religious or political connotations and imagine how fun it would be to sing;
LA LALA LALA LA LARR
LA LALA LALARR LARR!!
Plus, as Baz points out, this is what we sing anyway.

(Without wanting to have a protracted discussion regarding the authorship and intentions of the music...)
I have no problem with LOHAG, GSTQ and Jerusalem being used at big rugby league matches. It is not like you couldn't fit them all around a game in some context.
The 2nd Test at OT 1990 is a perfect example of using two of them.
The team walked out to LOHAG, which again as per Wembley visibly lifted the side, and sung the anthem GSTQ in a very stirring manner immediately before kickoff.
Winners all round.

GSTQ is the anthem of the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And was written as such.
What's the anthem of England?'"
For me its the same one you mention GSTQ. Last time i looked Wakefield seems to be in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so i guess thats my Anthem, i suppose you could break it down if you so wished but i see no need. |
