Great lyrics Keith! I had the tune of AAF running through my head as I read them. We Canucks should try to reply with something comparable.
I'll think on that.
As a Canadian who still thinks the Crown has a place in our Constitution (now that we have had one foisted on us, to spawn no end of absurd charter challenges, etc), I have no problems with God Save The Queen - but that really is an attractive idea to consider I Vow To Thee My Country for a British anthem (I love Charlotte Church's version). The tune came before Jupiter though - Holst has had a bit of stick from musicological purists for importing it into Jupiter, thought to be a bit kitschy. I was in Chichester Cathedral, looking about for Holst's marker, consulted the warden's guide, and looked at my feet to discover I had trod on it.
