Let Italy Boast of her gay gilded waters....

Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud....



Why can't this be our national anthem, it's far better IMO than FOS,


It's more ancient, it's not like FOS designed to mark a national identity amidst a crisis of national identity that was not actually happening! (mid 60's)

I like FOS, it lifts me, it makes me feel proud of my past but it is concerned with Bruce and Edward, it is 50% concerned with another land.

Fuck that.

STB is praising us, boasting us, making us equal amongst the artisan, high cultures of Europe, it sings us as equals, not subordinates fighting to be equal, it assumes we already are!


STB for National Anthem!

Check those lyrics...who would want FOS after seeing just how concerned with Scotland alone STB is ?

Just finished my tenth time listening to it.

fuckin magic, lyrics unbeatable.

Crikey. Nice tune but I thought you hated the White Heather Club. They sang that regularly. Besides, an anthem can't start by mentioning another country - it's just wrong. Re. those lyrics: who wrote that version?

Proper lyrics

[keasy]

A ken a thought it was quite gid though !

you'd be amazed how accepting I've become of late to any old sound of Scotland....must be gettin saft or the ghost of ma  auld grandfaither is wantin his nerday as the season comes.

BTW no idea who wrote that, I just liked it.

Sounds like a nice proud song to me, but this should be the Scottish anthem

& Englands if you change some of the words.

I f**king hate Scotland the Brave with a passion, so much so that I jump for the remote every time they dredge the piece of shite up before an international sporting fixture.
It's an embarrassment.
-The only time it could be excused being used is prior to Scotland v England at the rugby or football.-

They should bring back Scots Wha Hey
(soz, best vid I could find at the moment)

Burns wrote it, and it only mentions Edward, not the English as a whole.

[keasy]

I think you're confusing Scotland The Brave with Flower Of Scotland.

[Wooster]

 

So I am.
Still the bloody Corries though..the stuff belongs on a musical shortbread tin.

[keasy]

I love it, must be getting really old 

[Wooster]

Maybe..(says the amazing memory man here). 

How about Highland Cathedral?

[Glamdring]

No. It should be Donald, Where's Your Troosers?

[keasy]

No. It should be Donald, Where's Your Troosers?

 

Naw naw naw.

It should be ' The jeely piece song ' .

[Glamdring]

Brilliant. Loved it. 
Definite anthem.
