Watch: Mark E. Smith England World Cup song video
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater June 1st, 2010

So, with the England Squad announcement for this year's World Cup taking an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to come out (this just in...1600 on the FA's official website), what better way to fill the 45 minutes or so between now and then with feasting your eyes on the video for the song that Mark E. Smith is releasing for the World Cup? There is surely no better way, other than watching football journalists struggling beyond belief to understand the concept of a hashtag on Twitter.

Yeah, we told you about it before. The track is under the band name Shuttleworth and features the Fall man on lead-ish vocals. There are some utterly curious lyrics about Boer Ridges - something which Smith manages to rhyme with Stamford Bridge. A nice sentiment, sure. Catchy, no? Inspiring? Even less so.

Watch it below:

'England's Heartbeat' is released June 7, a week yesterday. Still not sure if the below image is the OFFICIAL artwork, but I really, sincerely hope it is.
