Shout for England Feat. Dizzee Rascal & James Corden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on England we need to sort it out,
Put the champs down,
Pull your finger out,
Leave the wags alone,
Set aside your ego,
We're tired of bragging about 40 odd years ago,
We need a victory, quick, fast,
Tired of getting a kick - oi!,
World cup 2010,
Don't wanna see ya slip past,
Think about the future,
Surely it's the right time,
I wanna see you win it in my lifetime,
1966 Bobby Moore and that Geoff Hurst put it to the turf - we applauded that,
There was no ignoring that,
Nobody could stop him,
I gotta myself an England shirt I'm gonna rock it,
Cos there's so much to play for,
But we've got to come together [Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh],
You know we've got to come together now [Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh],
1... 2... 3... Everybody sing

JAMES AND ENGLAND: Shout, Shout, let it all out,
Come on England!!!
These are the things I could do without,
Come on,
I'm talking to you - come on,
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!
Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh
And all the people sing
Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh
Come on England!!!

DIZZEE: Pull your socks up let's get physical,
We need team work - we don't need a miracle,
We need Rooney iin tip top condition,
Aaron Lennon down the wing like he's on a mission,
It ain't no superstition, its not a luck thing,

Rio Ferdinand nobody can !#$% With him!,
Hope we get stuck in, on't get caught out,
And stop trying to hog the ball,
Knock the ball about,
So much to play for
But we've got to come together [Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh],
1... 2... 3... Everybody sing

JAMES AND ENGLAND: Shout, Shout, let it all out,
Come on England!!!
These are the things I could do without,
Come on,
I'm talking to you - come on,
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!

(COMMENTARY: Steven Gerrard with the shot,
It's in the net for England,
Well there's been some doubts,
But those doubts have been swept away now And England are heading for South Africa.)

JAMES: Shout, shout, let it all out,
These are the things I could do without,
Come on,
I'm talking to you - come on [England... England... England... England... ]
Come and have a go if you thing you're hard enough!

JAMES AND ENGLAND: Shout, shout, let it all out,
[Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh]
Come on England!!!
[Ay oh, ay oh, ay oh, ay oh]
These are the things I could do without Come on,
I'm talking to you - come on




Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!
En-ger-land!!! En-ger-land!!! En-ger-land!!!
