Spray - Singing For England 2010 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 pa**ion 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
