Three Lions

Baddiel Skinner and The Lightning Seeds

(i think it's bad news for the English game)


(we're not creative enough)


(we're not positive enough)


It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,


footballs coming home (we'll go on getting bad)


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


It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,


footballs 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,


'cus i remember





three lions on a shirt


Jules Remet still gleaming


thirty years of hurt


never stopped me dreaming





so many jokes, so many snears


but all those 'oh so near's


when your down, through the years


but i still see that tackle by Moore


and when Linaker scored, Bobby belting the ball


and nobby dancing





three lions on a shirt


Jules Remet still gleaming


thirty years of hurt


never stopped me dreaming





(England have done it, in the last minute of extra time)


(what a save, what now)


(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 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 *REPEATED IN BACKGROUND*
