England Rugby Supporters Official Songs  - Part Two!

 

The England Rugby Supporters Club (ERSC), have produced a special Songbook of the main songs for England fans to sing along to, whilst watching England play. 

The book called 'Songs of Praise' was distributed free to all supporters at the last England match at Twickenham and they gave special thanks to the Barmy Army who provided some of the ideas and words.  

They also thanked  Harlequins Diamond Geezers for the lyrics to Robin Hood  www.diamondgeezers.org.uk.  Here are some of the songs to get us all going. So lets crack open the beers and get singing:-  

 

Jerusalem           

                           And did those feet in ancient times                           

                   Walk upon England's mountains green                     

                    And was the holy lamb of god                           

     On England's pleasant pastures seen       

 

And did the countenance divine

                        Shine forth upon those clouded hills                        

And was Jerusalem builded here

Amongst those dark satanic mills

              

Bring me my bow of burning gold

Bring me my arrows of desire

Bring me my spear o-clouds unfold

Bring me my Chariot of Fire

 

I shall not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Til we have built Jerusalem

In England's green and pleasant land

 

You are My England (Tune: "You are my Sunshine")

You are my England

My only England

You make me happy

The way you play

You are the best team

We love to watch you

       You can take the World Cup away.   

   

Wilkinson (Tune: "Robin Hood")   

Wilkinson, Wilkinson

He's England's number 10

Wilkinson, Wilkinson

He scores all the pens

He spins it down the line

Scores drop goals all the time

Wilkinson, Wilkinson, Wilkinson.

 

Wilkinson, Wilkinson

Playing for the Rose

Wilkinson, Wilkinson

Fast upon his toes

He plays for the best

Is feared by the rest

Wilkinson, Wilkinson, Wilkinson

 

Wonder wall    

Today is gonna be the day

That they're gonna throw it back to you

By now you should've somehow

Realised what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

 

Backbeat the word is on the street

That the fire in your hear is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before

But you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody

Feels the way I do

About you now

 

And all the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

But I don't know how

 

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my Wonderwall
