And suddenly I feel better

[berminhs]

For those of you that hadn't already guessed it - I'm a biiiiig football fan. The whole 'Death' thing for days may have given away my feelings about the France match too.

Well NO MORE death! As of today Eddie is officialy a *happy* person.

In translation - 3-0.

I'm over the moon. And I'm now in love with Wayne Rooney. I know he's younger than I am (and straight which is a MINOR issue) but still.... if it was legal to do so in this country I would marry him. Disturbingly I think I may have some competition from the straight male population of England too after his performance tonight. One to watch, lads, one to watch.

So, yeah. All is right with the world again. *grins*

(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..)
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.

(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
It's coming home,
It's coming home,
It's coming,
Football's coming home
(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,
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 98 vs BADDIEL & SKINNER - 20/06/1998
3 weeks at #1 - 13 weeks on chart

(The crosses of St George are flying all around me)
(Gareth Southgate the whole of England is with you)
(Oh it's saved, saved, saved)
We still believe
We still believe
We still believe

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

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 Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before
Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

(Beautiful football by England, Gazza oh that is majestic, Alan Shearer, Italy nil England nil and we're there in France 1998)
We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France

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
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming..
