Outside of the town of Macroom
The Brits in their big Crossley tenders
Went hurtling away to their doom
For the lads of the Column were waiting
With hand grenades primed on the spot
And the Irish Republican Army
Made shit of the whole fucking lot"
and thats from the 1920s, beat that
thunderbolts pfft

I like the scottish one. I dont know how manly it is but it sounds shit hot when theres 1000's of men in kilts pissed and singing it for a team that rarely ever wins. bless them.

Flower of scotland?? the welsh are the bestest national anthem singers ever, they put everyone else to shame
that reminds me, there was these scottish twats on a train once pissed and singing nothing but crap so my mate told them shut up if they didnt know any good songs. the scottish guy got all shirty and said he'd sing him any song he could name, so my mate said: do your national anthem...god save the queen

I like Flower of Scotland thank you very much. Then again most Scottish people treat Loch Lomond like their national anthem.

"A lovely land is ours
orig. lyrics by Adam Oehlenschläger
translated from the Danish by
Peter Ravn Rasmussen
A lovely land is ours
With beeches green about her
Encircled by the sea
Her hills and vales are manifold
Her name, of old, is Denmark
And she is Freya's home
In days of long-ago
This land was home to heroes
From war they rested here
Then forth they went, to smite the foe
Now to their graves they've gone
Among the barrow-stones
This land is yet so fair
Her waters yet so blue
And green are still her leaves
And noble ladies, maidens fair,
And men and able lads
Still dwell on Danish soil
Hail Sovereign, hail Home!
Hail every Dane who labours
To do his very best
Our ancient Denmark shall abide,
While yet the waves reflect
The beeches in their blue"
Second verse rocks now that I think about it
