song for the weekend
seeing as it's the start of the world cup this weekend and EN-GER-LAND have their first match tomorrow (while i'm at work:( )
I thought i'd post this as the song for the weekend...it's been going round my head all day!
it's by Bell and Spurling and it was released a couple of years ago for the football then (i;m not a fan of the embrace track which lays claim the the england world cup song this year)

Sven Sven Sven
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's got Jimmy Saville's haircut so how'd he get a lovely girlfriend
He tried so many players for the Holland game
Yeah how'd he forget Collymore, they say he's insane

Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's a lovely geezer but don't forget that he's from Sweden
Up front there's Michael Owen and Heskey that's his pal
We should shave off Seaman's moustache and cut his ponytail

Seaman Seaman Seaman Your hair's in a right old state
All you need is a Mark One Escort and a sovereign ring, mate
What a wally David looks his hair will have to go
'Cos he's a cross between Burt Reynolds
And Peter Stringfellow

Seaman Seaman Seaman Your hair is in a right old state
All you need is a Ford Cortina and some furry dice, mate
You could try Beckham's mohican
Now that's a lovely cut
Or even dye it ginger
Like those scrolls on Nicky's butt

Hey Dave bring on the Germans
Another mighty clash
Have a word with Rudi Völler
See who's got the biggest 'tache

Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Völler
Vorsprung Durch Technik or something or other
Little Michael Owen he put three past Ollie Kahn
He must have cried his eyes out down the autobahn

Ollie Ollie Ollie Oliver Kahn
Eins Zwei Drei Vier Funf that's five in German
Steven Gerrard crossed the German line
Winston Churchill would be proud as he put up the victory sign

Stevie Stevie Stevie Stevie Gerrard
He must be our man because he is well-hard
We could play that Jordan with her jelly bags
When we win the world-cup
She'll get them out for the lads

Sven Sven Sven's got her in his squad
He's even brought back Nobby Styles, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters and Ken Dodd
Ken Dodd?
Yeah well Gordon Banks doesn't exactly rhyme with squad does it
Can't say that it does...
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson
He's a lovely geezer but don't forget that he's from Sweden
Don't forget that he's from Sweden
Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksson...

otpion 2 for the weekend (there's a definate theme building) possibly the best football song in the world ever...very chantable, very catchy

and finally, this has got the be the best one that there is...again with the chanting and singing (i can almost hear the crowds in the stands already)
THREE LIONS 98 by LIGHTNING SEEDS featuring baddiel and skinner
(The crosses of St George are flying all around me)
(Gareth Southgate the whole of England is with you)
(Oh it's saved, saved, saved)
We still believe
We still believe
We still believe
It's coming home
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
Tears for heroes dressed in grey
No plans for final day
Stay in bed, drift away
It could have been all
Songs in the street
It was nearly complete
It was nearly so sweet
And now I'm singing
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming
Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see
Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before
Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming
(Beautiful football by England,
Gazza oh that is majestic,
Alan Shearer,
Italy nil England nil and we're there in France 1998)
We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France
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
It's coming home
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
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming..

and there we have it...my top 3 songs for the world cup and none of them are from this year (unless someone's re-released one on the sly)
EN-GER-LAND
EN-GER-LAND
EN-GER-LAND
laters peeps, and enjoy your weekend
