Yes I know, but if the answer to the 4th question is YES then the second verse is redundant. The whole metaphor is extremely mixed up.
The words are by William Blake. A visionary outsider, a rebel and a heretic. Up there with Shakespeare and John Milton, Keats and Shelley, as a true iconoclast, and eccentric genius.
Personally, I think, a national anthem that talks about the country, not just one person is better than what we have
Not if you place intuition and imagination before logic, and surrender to the current of Blake's visionary power. In other words, it's poetry, not a Haynes Manual.
Would be **** tbh imo God save our Manchester, Liverpool, Huddersfield, Rochdale…blah blah Rains a lot in North Sunnier in South Quite green here n there Full of ****s cant see it catching on tbh
Where have all the clever people gone hey........ .......all we get now is people who hide in fridges and women who's proudest moment is the fact we got a factory that packs tea from a tea leaf that comes from abroad.....you gotta question the quality of these public schools hey....all they produce is a criminal or imbeciles
Dunno man, what tune you got in mind? Still prefer William Blake's, but yours is better than the current ****ing dirge...
I already like.it more.than the old one. "There'll always be an England" manages to capture spirit of England without talking about it raining a. Lot. A few parts of it, like talking about the empire doesn't hold up today... But the rest does. Avoids all the awkward religious references too which shouldn't be in a modern anthem.
Something from The Pogues might work or get Shane to write a new song,I'm sure it would appeal to everyone.
Anyway who told the trigger happy totem pole chopping sister marrying hillbilly Yank that he has any say in our national anthem? don’t listen to him
