Three Lions 96 (Remastered) Songtext
von Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds

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
30 years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming


So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those all 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
30 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, it's coming home, it′s coming (three lions on a shirt)
Football's coming home (Jules Rimet still gleaming)
It's coming home, it′s coming home, it′s coming (30 years of hurt)
Football's coming home (never stopped me dreaming)

It′s coming home, it's coming home, it′s coming (three lions on a shirt)
Football's coming home (Jules Rimet still gleaming)
It′s coming home, it's coming home, it's coming (30 years of hurt)
Football′s coming home (never stopped me dreaming)

It′s coming home, it's coming home, it′s coming (three lions on a shirt)
Football's coming home (Jules Rimet still gleaming)
It′s coming home, it's coming home, it′s coming (30 years of hurt)
Football's coming home (never stopped me dreaming)
