My mother thinks it's some song they sing at schools, or that it's got the words England the Great/Green in it. I think might be some sort of patriotic 'Englandy' type song.
Ideas?

I don't know about "Top Gear", but I think you might mean the song "Jerusalem":

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
Amongst 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.

Words: William Blake
Music: Hubert Parry

Python fans will recognize this; it's also been done by Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Billy Bragg, among others -- it even turned up in a DS9 episode, "Explorers", sung by a completely-sloshed Bashir and O'Brien. :mrgreen:
