Football's coming home Lyrics

von 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,
Getting bad results?)

(3x)
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?

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
Wear you down
Through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Linker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing

Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

(England have done it,
In the last minute of extra time)
(What a save, good old England
England who 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

(fading out)
It's coming home it's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

(fading out)
Three Lions on a shirt
Jules rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
