As all of you know...I have a secret crush on England...Or maybe not so secret. ANYWAYS
I found songs, a lot of songs, that are nothing but shameless Iggy adoration.
And If I'm allowed to softly sing them while enjoying my earl grey...why shouldn't other England fans!
So here I'll list them and if you got one too, share it please!

This is my personal favorite I think...It's so sad and loving. On top of that I love Kate Bush. But it's an accuired taste.

Lyrics:
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--
My London Bridge in rain again.

Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames--
That old river poet that never, ever ends.
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
And keep the tower from tumbling.

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.

Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard, my English rose,
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.

This one is less romantic, more shameless adoration~! But it sticks in your head!

lyrics:
The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt
In the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country been so great
The stories Britannia coud tell

I never want to live my life
Away from the golden shores
There's never a country in the world
With the scent of an English rose

England, oh England, a country so great
The land of so fair and so true
There'll never be any colours like
The red, the white and the blue

Whenever you go to the far off shores
Ther's something that goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love that comes
From your mother of red, white and blue

You cold never be born under a flag that's like
The one of a Union Jack
St.George's spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back

England, oh England... (5x)

This one is more patriotic for it was made during war times...SO there is a lot of political fights in the comments...I just ignore them. I chose this version because I like the singing voice, but there are many others!

lyrics:
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
Though worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry

There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.

Red, white and blue; what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud,
"Britons, awake!"
The empire too, we can depend on you.
Freedom remains. These are the chains
Nothing can break.

There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

This one is really cute ^-^ even reminded me a bit of Englands character songs. A good dose of English sarcasm makes me wonder if this is an England love, or hate song...BUT it's very english anyways so~!

lyrics:
How can they be tired of England?
They'll never know the England that we know
Never know where the ones with the dreams go, no
Never notice the skies with their eyes down low

We'll never be tired of England
United in rain in the cities
To channel the pain and the pity's woe
To carry them back to the place below

With the blues, the greys, the green, the brown,
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring us down, no

How can they be tired of London?
The sense in the air on a warm day
Generation of hope that sees better days
But moving along in the same old ways

We'll never be tired of London
From Clerkenwell into the city
The state of the roofs is a pity though
Generations all cramped with their kids in tow

With the blues, the greys, the green, the brown,
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring us down, no

While the Queen of England sits on her throne
Off bingo cards and chicken bones

Don't drink yourself to a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth
Don't drink yourself to a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth

So sing your song of Banbury Cross
Don't breathe a word about your loss
Don't trust Old Nick to fall on dawn
Half sized cars and top shelf porn

How can they be tired of England?
How can they be tired of England?
How can they be tired of England?
How can they be tired of England?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T57okypTcvI

Lyrics:
My name is England.
My official name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It will come up in the test later!

Today it rains, yesterday it rained,
And I bet my hat tomorrow, it will rain yet again...
But umbrellas aren't for me, as you can see
I am British gentleman, gentleman, gentleman~

Pub- Pub- Pub and GO!
Fish and chips!
All those that I hate, a curse is sent your way
Ms. Fairy, Ms. Fairy!
Aha-ha-ha-haa~
Here I go again~!

I'm glad that I met you!
I mean, that is, I'm being sarcastic!
A face is floating from that wall over there!
Hard to Starboard! (Hard to Starboard!)

And then my sorcery is white, black (Whooo~!)
Tea is obviously better than coffee
Hot-hot-hot-hot-ho—...!
First of all, pour the milk ahead

You'll die if you sit there~
Busby's chair
Dragged straight down to hell
Busby, Busby
Gather, everyone -- Unicorns, Pixies,
With the Panjandrum, let's go -- to battle (to battle)

Hey you guys, here we go!
Here we go? Let's go!

Pub- Pub- Pub and GO!
Fish and chips!
If you drink you'll understand~!
You'll understand if you drink~!
Ms. Fairy, Ms. Fairy!
A-ha-ha-ha-haa~
So I shall proceed~!

Abracadabra~
I'm gonna curse you with all my might!
Abracadabra~
Long live, the Queen!

Abracadabra~
I'm gonna curse you with all my might!
Abracadabra~
Long live, the Queen!

Pub- Pub- Pub and GO!
Fish and chips!
All those that I hate, a curse is sent your way!

Lol, yeah his own song is Iggy adoration to of course. I like how they sound all brit pop - ish
The police has some songs that REALLY make me think of Iggy... but they aren't exactly about him so I might post them later on.
First, more Iggy Iggy adoration :pervengland:
Next song is a really homesick song. About someone who left England and I can SO relate to it. I've been to England twice now...not really that much but I miss it SO! I really think I should make it my home in the future.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrS26Ltx ... ideo_title

lyrics:

As I was a walking one morning in Spring,
To hear the larks whistle and the gully-birds sing,
I heard a sweet maiden a making a moan,
But alas I'm a stranger a long way from home.

I came from Sweet England with my mother and dad,
And I thought in America all could be had,
Of Gold and of silver and acres galore,
And I'll never need hunger or poverty more.

But alas for Sweet England my father is dead,
And my mother can earn but there's little for bread,
And I dream as I gaze o'er the far distant Main,
For a fine ship to take me to England again.

Now my mother is dead, and I'm left all alone,
But if I were in England no more would I woe,
And the aunt's in the country[?] and she loves me amain,
So won't some ship take me to England again?

[instrumental]

There's a neat little cottage with a rose at the door,
And there with my aunt I would live my life o'er,
I'd nurse her in sickness and tend to her pain,
And thank God I'm back in Sweet England again.

Thank you so much for this one! I hadn't heard it yet~

I love the feeling of pride you instantly get from the chorus! It goes 'Rule Britannia' instant goosebumps~ I decided to upload a full version

Rule Britannia - James Thompson

lyrics:

1

When Britain first, at Heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

2

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

3

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful, from each foreign stroke;
As the loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

4

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

5

To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

6

The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown'd,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."

Land of hope and Glory - Edward Elgar, A. C. Benson, Vera Lynn

Lyrics:

Land of Hope and Glory,
Mother of the free,
How shall we extole thee,
Who are born of thee,

Wider and still wider,
Shall thy bounds be set,
God who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!!,
God who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!
