Baddiel, Skinner And The Lightning Seeds and The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions '96

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

It's coming home (we'll go on getting bad results)
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 the 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 the 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 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)
Three lions on a shirt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Three lions on a shirt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Three lions on a shirt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)

(It's coming home)
Three lions on a shirt (it's coming home)
