Three Lions '98 Songtext
von Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds

The crosses of St George are flying all around me
Gareth Southgate, the whole of England is with you
Oh, it′s saved, saved, saved!

We still believe
We still believe
We still believe (we still believe)

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

Tears for heroes dressed in grey
No plans for final day
Stay in bed, drift away
It could have been all songs in the street
It was nearly complete, it was nearly so sweet
And now I'm singing


Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before, Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Beautiful football by England
Gazza, oh, that is majestic
Alan Shearer, Italy nil
England nil, and we′re there in France 1998

We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France!


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 (three lions on a shirt)
It′s coming, football's coming home (Jules Rimet still gleaming)
It's coming home, it′s coming home (no more years of hurt)
It′s coming, football's coming home (no more need for dreaming)

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
