England's World Cup song

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

'World at your feet', by Embrace...

is utterly tedious, arse-drippy, and as exciting as going out to a penalty shoot-out in the first knockout round.

As you would expect. Now, who would have done it better?

Ha! Six degrees of seperation time. Embrace is managed by Tony Perrin, Perrin managed the m*****n and previously worked with Simon Hinkler in Artery. Hinkler actually called Pete Turner about a vacancy just after Ben Gunn had left the Sisters - but was politiely declined.

Eg-zak-ter-ly :notworthy:, a World Cup song should be a slightly "tongue in cheek" affair, I hope you don't take this the wrong way Em's, but a band like the Darkness would have done a cracker given the chance IMHO.

no, it's a bloody good idea, but they get enough slating for being a 'joke' band as it is, so...it was rumoured.

I think it was actually after Marx left; so rather than being declined, things just more sort of fizzled out (that is, if you believe "...Tombstones, baby")

Perrin of course also managed All About Eve.

Shame he's gotten mixed up in this nonsense now!

AMEN to that, brother!

Hated that band with a passion ever since they came out on the arse-end of "Britpop". Why are they still here?

Nah, it'd end up a draw. All the players would have killed themselves out of sheer boredom and misery. :lol:
