Three Lions lyrics

[Alan Hansen]:

I think it's bad news for the English game

[Trevor Brooking]:

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

[Jimmy Hill]:

We'll go on getting bad results, getting bad results, 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

'Cos 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 a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

[John Motson]:

England have done it in the last minute of extra time!

[David Coleman]:

What a save! Gordon Banks!

Good old England, England that couldn't play football!

England has 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

[John Motson]:

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)
