Three Lions '96 Lyrics

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

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
Cos I remember

(chorus)
Three Lions on a 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
When your down, through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing

(chorus)

I know that was then
But it could be again

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

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

(repeat chorus to fade)

The best football song ever written, bar none.

It says everything about what it means to be a football supporter. Having faith in your team, while everyone else is 'sneering' at you, even your fellow supporters. Those near misses, like the penalty shoot out in the semi final of the 1990 world cup (Although the actual penalties weren't near misses! lol)

The press and a lot of pessimistic England fans gave us no chance prior to Euro 96 and this is Broudie, Baddiel and Skinner saying 'for gods sake, stop moaning and get behind the team' and it worked!.

We all might knock this song, and say they can't sing (which they can't) but when it comes to the World Cup or Euro Championships, we al fucking wheel this out and put it on at full blast and piss the neighbours off. Come on! Admit it! It was you, wasn't it?

I think this song is about promiscious sex. The references to "blow," "coming," and "hurt," give it away really
