[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 791763, member: 70552"] Agreed that GSTQ should not be England's national anthem anymore because England's national identity and what she stands for and hopes should not be wrapped up in this undemocratic institution. Does anyone actually know or have read all the verses to GSTQ apart from the first verse: God save our gracious Queen Long live our noble Queen God save the Queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the Queen O Lord our God arise Scatter her enemies And make them fall Confound their politics Frustrate their knavish tricks On Thee our hopes we fix God save us all Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour Long may she reign May she defend our laws And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen Not in this land alone But be God's mercies known From shore to shore Lord make the nations see That men should brothers be And form one family The wide world over From every latent foe From the assassins blow God save the Queen O'er her thine arm extend For Britain's sake defend Our mother, prince, and friend God save the Queen Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring May he sedition hush And like a torrent rush Rebellious Scots to crush God save the King It's just not relevant to England anymore. I'm all for a brand new national anthem to reflect the real England. By all means keep GSTQ for certain events when the Queen or future King are rolled out. [/QUOTE]
