'Onwards The Few' by The Reclaimers

Every World Cup is a jingoistic and emotive subject for the majority of the british public every 4 years, and what better way to unite the masses, than by song.

Everyone remembers 'Three Lions' and 'World in Motion' as the ultimate football songs of our generation. However, the official England song has always gone to an already established and signed band, and this year its no different, as the FA have declared The New Radicals song as the offical tune in this years bid.

PRO MUSIC UK LTD - Onwards The Few by The Reclaimers

However, we at Pro Music have decided to back a different song in the face of the FA. Song by our own Gavin Jones, a Director of the company, The song, with his original band 'The Reclaimers', is called 'Onwards The Few' and we would appreciate your support in trying to oust the the FA's offical choice.

We don't have anything against The New Radicals at all, its just we think that a song for the fans, should come from the fans, and that is the background to our bid.

You can visit the songs' website on www.onwardsthefew.com and please email the link to as many of your friends as possible, as momentum for the song has already started. It was played on Talk Sport as their top recommendation on 11th April, featured on Soccernights in the Yorkshire region and will hopefully soon be on Sky Sports News. We appreciate your support and hope you see us on 'Top of the Pops' in the near future!

Lyrics for 'Onwards The Few' by the The Reclaimers

CHORUS

Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
England's football glory is flying again,
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
The Cross of St. George is flying again

Verse 1

Dark clouds over, the white cliffs of Dover,
Rolls Royce engines, Fly in any storm
Just as England flew in 1966,
English fans are singing, 'we'll provide the fix'

CHORUS

Verse 2

Frank Lampard, Gary Neville, John Terry, Ashley Cole,
England sings, Providing wings, help Robinson in goal,
As Squadron Leader Beckham, has ordered choc's away,
Our chanting is the magic so The Few will win the day

MIDDLE 8

Owen is the ace, The pride of the English race,
Our man Wayne Rooney, is a one man hurricane!

CHORUS

Verse 3

Never before, on football's field of glory,
Has so much been given to so many by so few,
Now Gerard, Cole and King, Old Englands merry men,
Will fly the world cup home, Over white cliffs once again

CHORUS
