Football Is Coming Home

(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 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

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming
