Fat Les - Jerusalem (Official HD Video)

You are watching the official HD video for Fat Les - Jerusalem.

Fat Les followed up their England anthem Vindaloo with this stirring rendition of William Blake and Hubert Parry's 19th century patriotic masterpiece, Jerusalem. This UK Top 10 single features Keith Allen, Damien Hirst , Alex James and The London Community Gospel Choir. Look out for cameos from a young Alfie Allen (Keith's now famous actor son - in goal), Danny Dyer (in West Ham away shirt), David Walliams and Lily Allen (Keith's now popstar daughter - blink and you'll miss her!)

Lyrics:

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Hearing our Scottish brothers singing with pride Flower of Scotland makes you hope William make this our national anthem....

[maryfarrell]

Am in floods of tears. Jerusalem was my school song and this was sung at the end of each term so it always meant HOLIDAYS. More importantly we had this at my Mum's funeral and I know that she will be cheering along tomorrow night from above.

[mitchellminer]

A beautiful song, a marvelous rendition. Go, England.

God bless Fat LES And GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY. ENGLAND LIVES

[wofutokerati]

Cry like a baby every time I hear it. Every time.

[warbird]

This one always sends a shiver down everyone's spine. . We should kick out the archaic and unsuited national anthem and have this for every ENGLAND game or appearance in every sport. The Scots have theirs, the Irish theirs, the Welsh theirs. The national anthem is British not English. GIVE US JERUSALEM !!!

[raijinenel]

Best country to have existed. Long may it continue.

[Andrewjg_]

How a football pop song with classical influence became such a hit. And is so delightful.

[steveallen]

What a great version of a classic hymn, this should be England's anthem not God save the Queen, a country's anthem is about the people not one person

[gaynorreid]

Awww love it just love it and extremely proud to be English❤️

[peterobbo]

One day this will be our national anthem.

[bradleywright]

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon england's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On england's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from metal fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built jerusalem
In england's green and pleasant land

"Watch out for Michael Barrymore." A warning commonly seen with other warnings such as "No Diving, No Running, No Dunking & No Horse Play"

[rorymcinally]

On word describes this song, powerful

[lordhoot]

RIP William Blake you'd have loved Keith Allen and his cheeky antics

[lukedowns]

I only found this tonight. Should be the national anthem for sure! Great arrangement.
