Jerusalem

Post by N22Gooner »

I saw this song on the official Arsenal Website a while back, it was on the songsheet. And after taking a few secs to read it it didn't seem like a bad song, then hearing the original song it sounds class and if loads of gooners sang it it would be quality. The Barmy Army use it when England are playing and it sounds ace so why don't we use it as our long awaited anthem or if not as a anthem just as one of our songs.

Here's the words

And did those boots, of Wenger's team,
Walk upon Highbury's turf so green?
And did they play, with great esteem,
The best football we've ever seen?
And with a cannon on our chest,
We play with heart, and mind, and zest,
And we are proud to be Arsenal,
In victory through harmony…

And here's the original song

And here's the Barmy Army singing it at the ashes

Trouble is we'll get the 'no English players' boring gits starting up again.......might be worth it just for that :D
