Singing for England Lyrics

It's the time of the year, it's the time of our lives

And the nation is gripped in it's heart and it's mind

To commemorate this there's new songs to be sung

And we'll all sing along at the top of our lungs

Some hazy positivity, some boisterous shouting

A bit of jingoism and a lot of carousing

Always supporting hookline and sinker

Cos nothing says we love you like a top 40 single

Come on! Sing when we're winning

We'll always be singing for England

The passion and pride you feel supporting a team

Is quite tricky to evoke with such a strict rhyming scheme

So match a non-specific lyric urging “go all way”

To some power chords that they can use on Match Of The Day

Appealing to fanatics is a difficult job

It's not thermodynamics but it's hard to pull off

Just keep it panoramic, optimistic, don't bore us

Even the disaffected love a singalong chorus

Or something

We can reach for the top if we just pull it through

And dream to believe that the goal is in you, now you

Realise that's nonsense and you know it's a lie but for

Just a fleeting moment brings the country to life...

We're singing for England

We're singing for England

We're singing for England

And any other sports team

Yes, your generic sports team

We're singing for your sports team

Just play the instrumental

And insert the name of your team

We'll inspire the team to victory

With a very simple melody

We will take the team to victory

And the melody will ring ring ring in your ears

It's E For England
