Sing For England or For Losing Your Virginity

Michael Owen might not be able to play in the World Cup, but the even bigger news is that the world no longer has to wait for the lyrics of the official England fight song. A somewhat careful reading has left us wondering if this song, penned and performed by Embrace, is about football or if it is about teens getting busy in the backseat of a car. Funny how lyrics always come off as being goofy without the music. You can listen to it here.

World At Your Feet
(Die Welt zu deinen Füssen)

You’re the first in my life
To make me think
That we might just go all the way
And I, want you to know that we’re all hanging on
They’ll come and yes they’ll try
To break us down
But we know that we’ll never lose
If we keep moving forward and don’t look back

(Chorus)

With the world at your feet
There’s no one you can’t beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There’s no height you can’t reach
This could be the one
It’s calling, it’s calling you now
You know it’s going to be our time
’Cause the world is at your feet, yes the world is at your feet
Like stars in the sky burning bright
Seen by a billion eyes know I
Want you to know we’re all turned your way

(Repeat chorus)

You’ll lift it up
With one proud kiss
There’s nothing else
That feels like this
So lift your arms
And everyone sing

(Repeat chorus)

It’s calling, it’s calling you now
You know it’s going to be our time
’Cause the world is at your feet, yes the world is at your feet
