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 spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

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

Here's my poor effort -

And did those fans in ancient time
Walk upon Brightons's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On Brightons's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was our stadium builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring us our stone of burning gold
Bring us our player’s of desire
Bring us the cup’s our hands to hold
Bring us the passion and the fire
We will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall our sword’s sleep in our hand’s
Now we have built our stadium
In Brighton's green and pleasant land
Now we have built our stadium
In Brighton's green and pleasant land

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

"there's no-one there"

 

[Mendoza]

Someone has already done a Falmer version of this a while back

 

[Titanic]

...Bring us our stone of burning gold
Bring us our player’s of desire

..Now we have built our stadium
In Brighton's green and pleasant land

I like these lines.
