Three lions on the shirt Jules Rimet* still gleamingAll those years of hurt
Never stoppped me dreaming
So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wear you down
Through the years
But I still see that
Tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And nobby dancing...

Personally I love a good footie tune but it has to be 'of the people'. I'm sorry, but unless it has a rousing chorus that sounds better when sung by crowds of drunks celebrating that last second goal in the dying moments of the game than it aint no good by my book.
Here's a couple of fine examples ready for this year's upcoming victory.
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough...
And the best football song ever?
Reworked for 2010
And the three words of the header for this post? Well, WE WILL WIN of course!
* PS: For the last 12 years I had been under the impression that the lyrics of this song read 'jewels remain still gleaming'. What can I say... I'm a girl!
Well, I wonder if anyone else has been inspired with a football song at the lyric challenge of the the Three Muses this week. Last time I did one of these I stuck with the more traditional "I got sunshine on a cloudy day", but hey the World Cup starts this week. England are in it. The radios are full of football anthems. Lads and ladettes shout the words in the streets and dream...

Wonderful interpretation for this song.
ReplyDeleteGreat work as always.
That's what I like. Some unbridled and heartfelt patriotism. I wish England good luck - mainly because, although Australia qualified, they are always among the also-rans. Thanks for the videos which I enjoyed greatly.
ReplyDeleteFootball is my favorite game too! But I can't think of one American football song, so I applaud you! Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool take on the theme, I'm afraid the Robbie Williams song is my pick! New Zealand qualified & we are going to win it!!!! Well, maybe not! Good luck England my second home I well remember the 1966 world cup when they won!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to take a football song! I love football, too, and I'm certainly going to watch the games. Good luck to England (Finland is not really a football country...)!
ReplyDeleteAhhh how awesome is this one Lisa, we'll be hoping for BBQ weather here this weekend for the start of the world cup. Come on England!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I played them and got revved up..I even played them together for awhile.
ReplyDeleteTotally unique!!! Bravo! LynnF

ReplyDeletewonderful work!!!
Good luck to you over there!!! Love the shape and colors! Have fun...
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the worldcup! Well, not too much luck of course, that's for the Duchies, lol!
ReplyDeleteWheee! Go England! I'm not much of a footballer myself, but I'll jump on the bandwagon for England! I might also be interested in a group reading of Women Who Run With Wolves. The title has always fascinated me but when I flipped through it in the bookstore I wasn't sure I was...er...up for it. If you are seriously thinking about it, let me know.l Go England!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece and a very topical song :)) I also live in England, but I'm not a big fan on football. In fact I'm not fan at all :D But my husband is very excited.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard this song before, but it's quite nice.
Rubbish best football song ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd-p8nJeHqw&feature=player_embedded#!
ReplyDeleteLisa, you crack me up! I'm a huge James Corden fan... and I think the song's fan. I feel your untidy pain - you need a dose of the FlyLady to get that under control and... she works! I still hoard, but not like I used to!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme - and a great song. But I am very sorry that I have to inform you that Germany is going to win the worldcup. England is allowed to be second, though :-)
