I think it's bad news for the English game
We're not creative enough, and we're not positive enough
It's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home...

(We'll go on getting bad results, getting bad results..)
It's coming home
It's coming home

It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming

Football's coming home

Everyone seems to know the score

They've seen it all before
They just know
They're so sure

That England's Gonna throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play

'Cause I remember...

Three Lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming


So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those oh-so-nears

Wear you down
Through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore

And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby Dancing


Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming


(England have done it, in the last minute of extra time)
(What a save, good old England, England who couldn't play football, England have got it in the bag )
I know that was then

But it could be again

It's coming home

It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

(England have done it)

It's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming

Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home

It's coming
Football's coming home
Three Lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

(The crosses of St George are flying all around me)

(Gareth Southgate the whole of England is with you)
(Oh it's saved, saved, saved)
We still believe
We still believe
We still believe


It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home


It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home


Tears for heroes dressed in grey
No plans for final day
Stay in bed, drift away

It could have been all

Songs in the street
It was nearly complete
It was nearly so sweet
And now I'm singing

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming

No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see Ince ready for war

Gazza good as before
Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt

No more need for dreaming

(Beautiful football by England, Gazza oh that is majestic, Alan Shearer, Italy nil England nil and we're there in France 1998)
We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France

It's coming home

It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming..
