This is about England struggles to win any major competition since the 1966 World Cup, so this song is about believing they can win the 1996’s Euros in which they were only knocked out in the Semi Finals
[Spoken]
"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
[Spoken]
"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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
[Spoken]
"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"
[Bridge]
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
[Spoken]
"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
[Chorus]
(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)
