The Lyrics

Stand up all you scousers for Michael and Wayne,
Mancs for Scholesy, Cockneys for Beckham and James;
Come together for you, together like you are.

Geordies joining forces with the South Coast Boys,
Midlands in their masses gonna make some noise,
'Cos we’re coming with you, no matter where you are.

So goodbye little England,
I know you know it hurts.
But when we come home,
They’ll be singing all over the world.

'Cos we Born in England,
The place where dreams are made.
We were Born in England,
The bravest of the brave.
We're singing come on England,
Yeah you knock me off my feet.
When you’re wearing the red, white and blue
I can start to believe.

Stand up all the Mersey, the Thames and the Tyne,
Along the river Severn down the Northern Line,
'Cos we’re crazy for you, crazy like you are.

So goodbye little England,
I know you know it hurts.
When we come home,
They’ll be singing all over the world.

'Cos we Born in England,
The place where dreams are made.
We were Born in England,
The bravest of the brave.
We're singing come on England,
Yeah you knock me off my feet.
When you’re wearing the red, white and blue
I can start to believe.

'Cos we Born in England,
The place where dreams are made.
We were Born in England,
The bravest of the brave.
We're singing come on England,
Yeah you knock me off my feet.
When you’re wearing the red, white and blue
I can start to believe.

We're singing come on England,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
We're singing come on England,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
We're singing come on England,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

We're singing come on England,
(We love you) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Notes

You may well ask 'What on earth were Mark Palios and the rest of those FA suits thinking?' when they decided to give James Nesbitt (he's Irish isn't he?) an England football song.
Don't panic, this ain't the official England Euro 2004 anthem, although it's every bit as contrived as The Farm's official theme. Twisted X is in fact the Xfm team's rather lad-ish unofficial footy single with all proceeds going to Help A Local Child. Penned by an Xfm listener after Christian O'Connell (the UK's Ben Affleck or a modern day Chris Evans?) ran a competition and the result features contributions from indie heroes The Libertines, The Delays, Supergrass, Bernard Butler and Cold Feet's Jimmy Nesbitt.
It's not Fat Les, but we'll still singalong.  - MSN Entertainment
