Lirik Lagu Three Lions
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.
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 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 Lineker 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.
I know that was then, but it could be again...
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.
It's coming home,
It's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home.
Three lions on a shirt!
Jules Rimet still gleaming,
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming.
Three lions on a shirt!
Jules Rimet still gleaming,
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming.
Three lions on a shirt!
Jules Rimet still gleaming,
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming.
