Oh so you don't want a trade agreement? Oh well... "...Over the hills and far away" *INTENSIFIES

if you want to sing along lads here you go the lyrics Hark now the drums beat up again For all true soldiers gentlemen, Then let us list and march, I say, Over the Hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. All gentlemen who have a mind, To serve the queen both good and kind, Come list and enter into pay, Then over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. No more from sound of drum retreat, While Marlborough and Galway beat, The French and Spaniards every day, When over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. 40 shillings on the drum, for those who volunteer to come, with shirts and clothes and pleasant pay, when over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. Our 'prentice Tom may now refuse To wipe his angry Master's Shoes, For now he's free to sing and play, (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. We then shall lead more happy lives, By getting rid of brats and wives, That scold and bawl both night and day - over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. For if we go 'tis one to ten, But we return all gentlemen All gentlemen as well as they, Over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away.

In the late 19th century Portugal wanted the land of Zimbabwe and Rhodesia to connect their colonies of Angola and Mozambique and expected support from Britain since they were allies for centuries. They just stabbed them in the back, even threatened Portugal with war if they didn't immediately drop their claim. Britain only "respects" alliances when it suits them.

Northern Marches The lyrics actually date from the early 1700s and relate to the War of the Spanish Succession, 1701-1714. The references to Marlborough and Rudd were to frequently victorious British generals of that war. By the Napoleonic era, the tune was a traditional marching song, like “Yankee Doodle” is to modern Americans. I think that the tune may be newer than the lyrics. It is not typical of Napoleonic era tuned, I think.

Hark now the drums beat up again For all true soldiers gentlemen, Then let us list and march, I say, Over the Hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. All gentlemen who have a mind, To serve the queen both good and kind, Come list and enter into pay, Then over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. No more from sound of drum retreat, While Marlborough and Galway beat, The French and Spaniards every day, When over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. 40 shillings on the drum, For those who volunteer to come, With shirts and clothes and pleasant pay, When over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. Our 'prentice Tom may now refuse To wipe his angry Master's Shoes, For now he's free to sing and play, Over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. We then shall lead more happy lives, By getting rid of brats and wives, That scold and bawl both night and day - over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away. For if we go 'tis one to ten, But we return all gentlemen All gentlemen as well as they, Over the hills and far away. (Chorus) Over the hills and o'er the main To Flanders, Portugal and Spain, Queen Anne commands and we'll obey, Over the hills and far away

Originally composed in the early 1700s when Anne was queen, and John Churchill, Lord Marlborough, led Britain ( along with Prince Eugene of Savoy) led a British- HolyRoman Empire allief force against the French (Minden, Malplaquet, Turin, etc. Modified during Napoleonic Wars, a hundred years later, to King George ( III). EXAMPLE of 18th and early 19th Century British Recruiting ( shillings on the drum) " Taking the King's shilling "( Enlistment Pay). Very enlightening song

Minden was much later (1759). Think BROM - Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, although Malplaquet was very much a Pyrrhic victory.

You know what I have learned from my experience of being alive? Rules: 1. Never Piss off Anglos, Slavs, Muslims and Israelis. 2. Never underestimate an Island nation like UK and Japan 3. Guys in red uniforms always scary and powerful (Soviets, Chinese, Red Coats, Romans) 4. Goose-stepping is not going away any time soon. 5. If you're starting a war you better have apex level of world economy cause if you don't you will lose fast. And you better finish it fast or your economy will suffer along with the people. 6. Russians and Americans are like twins when it comes to being crazy and having violent pasts. 7. Every Empire collapses Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Actually, the British were in Portugal to support the pro-British Portugeuse force the pro-French Spanish out, therefore defeating the French at the same time. Of course this song actually dates for about 100 years before Sharpe, celebrating the British support of the Dutch in Flanders in the early 18th Century, again against the Spanish, hence the line "Queen Anne commands and we obey..."
