Football Anthems

The anthems of English football fans are often absurdly jingoistic, and regarded as a national embarrassment. That said they are part of our culture, no more and no less than the other more refined anthems.

Here are a selection of the more popular chants to give us an idea of what we are not looking for.

Inger-land

Inger-land, Inger-land, Inger-land
Inger-land, Inger-land, Inger-land
Inger-land, Inger-land, Inger-land
Inger-land
INGER LAND

The Great Escape

Da-da, da-da da Da-da, da-da da Da-da, da-da da-da da-darrr ENGLAND

No Surrender

Give me St George in my heart, keep me English
Give me St George in my heart, I say
Give me St George in my heart, keep me English Keep me English to my dying day
No surrender No surrender No surrender to the IRA (scum)

If it wasn't for.....

If it wasn't for the English you'd be Krauts
If it wasn't for the English you'd be Krauts
If it wasn't for the English
Wasn't for the English
If it wasn't for the English you'd be Krauts

Three Lions

Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
