Title: UK is GOLD
Post by: IPAndrews on February 13, 2007, 08:23:49 am
I heard this mentioned on the news and I think it's a fantastic idea. Please add your name to the petition and make "Gold" by Spandau Ballet the UK's new national anthem.

Thank you for your co-operation.

I have a better idea.

Bon Jovi - Lie To Me
Quote
Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there's a stronger standing in these shoes
But, I know I can't lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you

I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I ain't too proud of all the struggles
And the hard times we've been through
When this cold world comes between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me

Pour another cup of coffee
Babe I got something to say to you
I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
No one said that it'd be easy
Let your old man take you home
But know that if you walk out on me that darling
I'd be gone

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me
Baby, I can take it

It's a *****, but life's a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
It's hard believing that the thrill is gone
But we got to go around again, so let's hold on

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us
If that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me
Lie to me
Baby, I can take it
C'mon lie to me

Another fantastic suggestion. Excepting for the fact that this other track is completely uninspiring, contains the word "*****", and is sung be a bunch of frickin' Americans!. Welcome to the UK of A. Spandau Ballet FTW I think ;).

I'm with Billy Connolly in that the new national anthem should be the theme from The Archers.  ;7

Who are you?  by The Who.

Just because it'd be brilliant to watch Prince Charles step off the plane in some Caribbean country to the lyrics of
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, Who the **** are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

You guys can have "The Star Spangled Banner" if you want. Really, please take it. You don't have to use it, just take it.

youre more likely to rally that kind of support on ytmnd or something.

that being said, i really want to change the US's national anthem
seriously, its a bad poem set to the tune of an english drinking song.  how ****ing dignified.

Which is why I can't support IP Andrews proposal unless Gold is modified to include a line about keeping those rowdy Scots in line too :p

Poppycock. If you're indestructable you can beat anyone by default. Always believe.

True but it's the British anthem which means the Scots are indestructible too!

Which means that a draw is on the cards at best unless we say that the Scots only mostly indestructible.

Blair, Brown, McConnel and Reid would be suitable exceptions.
