Three Lions: England Euro 96 song lyrics, meaning & 'Football's Coming Home' anthem

The song that was first popularised in the mid-to-late nineties is now the anthem of choice for a new generation of England fans

'It's Coming Home' has become a slogan and call to arms for England fans.

The line was born over 20 years ago and has somehow managed to endure the ravages of numerous failed campaigns to come forth once more and give hope to a new generation of English football supporters.

The song from which it is derived is called 'Three Lions', which was resurrected for World Cup 2018 and continues to be sung with gusto by England fans across the world.
