| (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)
|
| 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 near's"
|
| 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, Gordon Banks!)
|
| (Good old England,
|
| England that could 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 home, it's coming,
|
| Footballs coming home
|
| It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
|
| Footballs coming home
|
| (England have done it)
|
| It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
|
| Footballs coming home
|
| It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
|
| Footballs coming home
|
| Three lions on a shirt
|
| Jules Rimet still gleaming,
|
| Thirty years of hurt
|
| Never stopped me dreaming |
