Michael f***ing owen scoring twice in a charity match. Unheard of..ugh...

 

Saw that he was in the team earlier this afternoon... my first thoughts were for his knees and how I hoped they would both implode. Oh well.

:( Hate the triple-post, but what else can I do when everyone else is asleep? I'm ambivalent about this whole joining-in-the-Marseillaise thing on Tuesday. Want us to show solidarity, but the lyrics are the usual warmongering bullshit. Rousing tune, but fuck the sentiments. Some of it fits, but some of it don't. Just :dontknow: tbh. Tide of emotion and all that.

Isn't it all about forming battalions and marching to war?

Yes.

 

Grab your weapons, citizens!

Form your batallions!

Let us march! Let us march!

May impure blood

Water our fields!

 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,

What do they want?

For whom these vile shackles,

These long-prepared irons? (repeat)

Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!

What emotions that must excite!

It is us that they dare to consider

Returning to ancient slavery!

 

What! These foreign troops

Would make laws in our home!

What! These mercenary phalanxes

Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)

Good Lord! By chained hands

Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!

Vile despots would become

The masters of our fate!

 

Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,

The disgrace of all groups,

Tremble! Your parricidal plans

Will finally pay the price! (repeat)

Everyone is a soldier to fight you,

If they fall, our young heros,

France will make more,

Ready to battle you!

 

Frenchmen, as magnanimous war

 

blah blah blah
