We need a longer anthem. Or to sing the missing verses. Other countries anthems are a proper effort but ours seems to be over in a flash.

What are Satanic mills? often wondered, Quite a complicated tune for an anthem. I think the second verse maybe it is would be a good anthem. The one re chariots of gold etc.

Quick edit: Satanic Mills 'believed' to be reference to the industrial revolution. (Happy for someone else to expand or refute this)

I've been saying for years that they should just make the national anthem World In Motion* and have done with it. *in its entirety, complete with house piano riff and John Barnes rap

I like the Grange Hill theme. Would be easy to fit patriotic words to it. Perhaps Ro-Land could pen it

I would be proud to sing Jerusalem before England games. I genuinely struggle with God Save the Queen - a) it's absolutely awful, b) I'm a republican and fundamentally don't want her "long to reign over us", and c) it's a pretty miserable sentiment as a national anthem, even if you're a monarchist. There's more to England than simply having a queen, that we think God should save for as long as possible, isn't there?

(Happy for someone else to expand or refute this) Yes tbe Satanic Mills were a reference to the grime of the industrial revolution compared to the idealised vision of the pre industrial green and pleasant land. Definitely should be the national anthem.

In the current climate I'd be careful what you wish for. Would probably be a humourless ditty about inclusivity, colonialism and electric cars sung in 8 different languages and played on steel calypso drums..
Still be more upbeat than god save the Queen I guess...
Personally 100,000 people singing: I speaka da lingo or el vino collapso by black lace would work. The thought of it brings a tear to my eye.
