1. Jerusalem as the last song of the pre-match build up.
2. Land of Hope & Glory as teams emerge from the tunnel.
3. God Save the Queen National Anthem before kick-off.

Altogether now...

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Chorus


Sometimes I'm up, and sometimes I'm down,
(Coming for to carry me home)
But still my soul feels heavenly bound.
(Coming for to carry me home)

Chorus

The brightest day that I can say,
(Coming for to carry me home)
When Jesus washed my sins away.
(Coming for to carry me home)

Chorus


If I get there before you do,
(Coming for to carry me home)
I'll cut a hole and pull you through.
(Coming for to carry me home)

Chorus

If you get there before I do,
(Coming for to carry me home)
Tell all my friends I'm coming too.
(Coming for to carry me home)

Chorus

Blasphemy. May you rot in the deep fiery depths of Twickenham sipping Pimms for eternity!!

Really?

Think most people recognize 'god save the queen' as our national anthem, UK or not.

Agreed.

Ok - Clearly people do care!

As long as it is something petty, irrelevant, or self-destructive - you will always catch the eye of this forum.

At least it isn't the latter for once.

If only the British National Anthem wasn't such a dirge of a song I'd be happy with it.

Why sing anything at all?
