Apart from any Welsh rugby stadia, this has been the club song at Stoke City (my local team) for over forty years.
OK, they sing a slightly (ahem!) amended version, but I can honestly say I have never thought of it as advocating violence of any kind.
Banning it will simply mean that Hughes's Barmy Army will sing it even louder (if possible, they are recorded as the loudest supporters in the country already!) so really, I think this MP is on a total loser here.
You can look for hidden meanings in anything if you want - is saying 'Send Her Victorious ...' in the National Anthem war-mongering?
Where do you stop?

Where the wild Roses Grow, Kylie Minogue feat. Nick Cave
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
andy, here's verse 6 of God Save the Queen
Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!
People do sometimes find it inadvisable to sing things that sounded all right when first written.
