about

Unofficial World Cup 2018 Anthem!

lyrics

Summer's coming round again
in one of those years where football never ends
the cross of George is hanging from the window
and 10 cans later this could be our year

Patriotic fever for a week and then it's back to watching Spain
...because we like the way they play

We're England all the way (scrape through the group stage)
We're backing England all the way (to the quarter finals)
And we'll be watching through our hands
As wemiss the final chance
It's penalties - there'll be no Psycho scream or Nobby's dance

Well obviously I want England to win
but come on, it isn't very likely
and even if Belgium get banged by Jamie Vardy
the group H runners up look pretty tough

The lionesses made us proud but they set the bar too high
...oh well, at least the boys can try

Ince, Batty, Pearce (tried)
Lampard, Gerrard, Becks (survived)
Southgate, Vassell, Waddle (why?)
Cole, Young, Carra (never mind)

Becks and Simeone
Rooney and Carvalho
Neville and Moldavan
Steve McClaren - he's our man!

We're England all the way
We're backing England all the way

And if Giggsy's on his game
I'm sure we'll see Wales again
and though it might be hard to sell
I'd like to see Scotland as well

(and also Ireland)
