songs / chants for Wembley

One fur the purists..

 

We fished stormy waters when fish were a-plenty
We ploughed the wild heathland till it bloomed like a rose
We built the great ships that sailed all the oceans
We toiled underground nature's treasures exposed


We've travelled the world, we've known kings, we've known princes
Discoursed with scholars, reasoned with fools
Oh we've served with distinction all down through the ages
But still in our homeland the foreigner rules


Chorus:
O we'll fight for the right and the dawning of the day
When we'll rise again to win our claim for Scottish destiny


We're fierce as the badger when danger is threat'ning
We've the cunning and the guile that the fox calls his own
We've the reason that guides our great streams in their coursing
We're as stubborn as the headland that stands all alone
We can laugh with the devil, no one can laugh louder
Weep with the willow when our heart's sorely pressed
We're as gently and prickly as our own downy thistle
We can work with the hardest and play with the best


Chorus


But our land it is owned by the faceless investor
Our fish and our farming no longer our own
Our industry's ruined, our assets are squandered
Our souls are in hock and our children in pawn
It's no use in thinking it's too late for changing
No use in thinking that it's not up to you
You must teach, you must learn and to change things be willing
For you are your country and your country is you


Chorus


Too long we have blamed the foreign oppressor
Too long we have hoped for our hero's return
We've raised all our banners in poem and in legend
We've rested on laurels that turned into thorns
To dwell on past glories at the cost of invention
Is to squander the gifts that our forefathers gave
So take strength from the past but declare your intention
To change this dear land back to Scotland the Brave...

That'll soon be sorted when Brexit kicks in

To the tune of ole ole ,ole when we're in  possesion 

We've got the ball, we've got the ball, we've got the ball.

Lose possession . ..

We've lost the ball,we've lost the ball , we've lost the ball... repeat as appropriate .  Probably the latter verse will be used more often

"Here we, Here we, Here we F'ing go"

We must be able to use the old famous rave chant somehow? Heard it at the UFC before to "Stevie, Stevie, Stevie F'ing Ray" and the place was bouncing 

How bouts:

"Scotland, Scotland, Bonnie F'ing Scotland" and repeat until we become world beaters again....
