Wanted Jerusalem at our church wedding 30 years ago but the vicar wouldn't allow it said it had militaristic overtones.
Well that wasn't the intention of William Blake who wrote the words as part of his epic poem! Though I seem to remember the BNP or whatever they were 30 years ago had sort of hijacked the song along with the English Flag . So he probably had a point of sorts ......

You should have just pointed to the pictures of soldiers killing people nailed to crosses on the walls in the church. :lol:

I wanted it at my wedding but got married in a real republican town in Northern Ireland. It wouldn't have gone down too well that one :lol:
 
Tin Hat on but the two best anthems in the World by a country mile are:

2nd place: Deutschland Uber Alles.

1st place: La Marseillaise. This is actually a battle song, and as such is calculated to rouse the spirit.

God Save The Queen is like a funeral march :evil:

Land of Hope and Glory is miles better.

But out national anthem is God Save the King (or Queen when a female monarch reigns).
