Three Lions 1996/1998/2022

 Three Lions 1996

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 because I remember 
Three lions on the shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years for hurt no more need for dreaming

So many jokes, so many sneers but all those so nears
When you're down through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore and when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball and Nobby dancing
Three lions on the shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt no more need for dreaming

Three Lions 1998

We still believe, we still believe
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 us ready for war
Gassa good as before Sheara certain to score and I come screaming
Three lions on a shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming
30 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

I know that was then but it could happen again
It's coming home it's coming home 
It's coming football's coming home
Three lions the shirts Jules Rimet still gleaming
30 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

Three Lions 2022

It's coming home it's coming home
It's coming football's coming home

Loving that Lionesses win but thoughts of last year's final kick-in
And Moscow, and Turin the bloke seems cursed whatever they try
And I think I know why they're just jinxed in July but it's December
Three lions on a sleigh with She-Lions inspiration
Santa says let's play The Christmas tree formation

When they decidеd on Qatar should have checked VAR it's too hot, and too far
So wе'll be snowflakes watching it here this is our time of year we'll be having a beer
Three lions on a sleigh Yule Rimet still gleaming
A football Christmas song not at all demeaning

Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
56 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
Twenty weeks of hurt  never stopped me dreaming
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming several years of hurt
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
Quite a lot of years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

Three Lions (England Women's Team)

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 because I remember
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming 
All those years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming.

So many jokes, so many sneers, but all those so-nears wear you down, through the years.
Now I see Ellen White standing tall, Russo’s ready to score, 
Stanway kicking the ball, and Wembley screaming
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming 
All those years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming.

Now is the time, the Lionesses can shine it’s coming home, it’s coming home 
It’s coming football’s coming home Lionesses roar, a squad we can believe in. 
This England team has soared, no more need for dreaming.
It's coming home it's coming home it's coming football's coming home
