Getting a tattoo done, I'm wanting some writing to go with it, do I go with 'rule' the waves or 'rules' the waves, in the song it's 'rule' but from some old pictures and postcards it says 'rules' bit of a headfuck? Cheers

"Rules The Waves" mate .... there was no sea or ocean that we did not have ships sailing on.

RULE taigs and Brit haters always imply the song is about triumphalism where in actual fact the song was imploring Brittania to rule the oceans.

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,

More dreadful, from each foreign stroke;

As the loud blast that tears the skies,

Serves but to root thy native oak.

"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:

"Britons never will be slaves."
