Spoken: Alan HansenI think it's bad news for the English game
Trevor BrookingWe're not creative enough, and we're not positive enough
ChorusIt's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
Jimmy Hill: We'll go on getting bad results, getting bad results, getting bad results, 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
Verse 1Everyone 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
ChorusThree lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
Verse 2So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh-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
ChorusThree lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
spokenJohn Motson: England have done it in the last minute of extra time!
David Coleman: 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
spokenJohn Motson: 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)
Three lions on a shirt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Three lions on a shirt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Three lions on a shirt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Jules Rimet still gleaming (Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
Thirty years of hurt (It's coming home)
(It's coming)
Never stopped me dreaming (Football's coming home)
