This song is such an iconic piece of English football culture that the Queens Guard played it the other day and it was broadcast on BBC (I think) 😂
At Prince Charls request haha
Kid should react to the '98 version as well. The video is hilarious (although he will probs have to blur it again)

@Katie You've probably seen it by now, but just in case here is the link to the Queens Guard version: Awesome 😑

Gloucester Cathedral bellringers played three lions, also it was played by the organist 👍
Even the Royal family know it's coming home 🦁🦁🦁
Probably been said already, but alongside "Born in the USA", which is not a patriotic song, and "Every Breathe You Take" which is certainly not a romantic song, this is one of the great misinterpreted songs out there. People think it's about an arrogant belief that England fans are supposed to have, that they always think England are going to win. It's actually a song about defiantly dreaming of success, even if deep down you feel it'll end in tears. It wouldn't resonate with the fans so much if it wasn't true. "Football's coming home" was simply just a reference to the tournament in 1996 (when the song came out) being held in England, the home of football.
Yeah, a bit of an eye opener when you find out what the police are singing about. I do find it funny when I hear ppl sing the line "jewels remaining" and claim their football fans even when you correct the line and they say "what's that"? It's at that point my head is in my hands.
@@tobytaylor2154 Apparently even David Seaman had to ask them what "Jules Rimet still gleaming" meant.
@@RevStickleback he thought it was some bloke called Julian Rimey 😂😂
Spot on!
@@RevStickleback imagine the confusion if they somehow got the pickles saga into the song. Dave seaman doesn't surprise me, just look at the average footballer.
3 lions is the England football team badge. This is one of the best football songs written. We’ve just reached the final of the European championship due the first time ever so this song is everywhere 🏴
Its the frakin symbol of Richard the Lion Heart.
It’s coming home guys!!! Good luck on Sunday everyone. 🏴 🏴
That aged well...
It went to Rome
It went to messi actually :(
Always brings a lump to my throat
"55 years of hurt
Soon it may be over"
58 now 😢 we won't win the euros 😔😟🙁
Gordon Banks save considered to be the best save of all and he died recently .R.I.P.
Thank you Kid!
This song was written and sung by comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel who had a football comedy show in the early 90's called Fantasy Football League. The music was performed by the Lightning Seeds and it was the official song of England team for the European Championships in 1996.
The tournament was held in England which is where the modern game and rules were created, hence the 'It's Coming Home'. The Three Lions is the crest/badge on the England team shirt and is often referred to as a nickname for the team.
In 1996 England went out to Germany in the semi-final with the score at 1-1 after 90 minutes + additional extra time of 30 minutes, the game went to penalties. Each team scored all of their 5 penalties so after that it goes to sudden death (miss and the other team score and you're out) a young Gareth Southgate missed and Andreas Möller scored, England were out.
Redemption often comes in the most unlikely of circumstances. 25 years later Gareth Southgate now manager has lead us to our first Final in 55 years, we will play an extremely good Italy team on Sunday in the European Championship Final... It's Coming Home?
my pleasure!
Great write up. Nails it 👏🏻
Also the ladies england football team are called the lionesses
It was unofficial song. I think the official song was by Mick Hucknall from simplely red.
@@jenniedarling3710 this version was the official England Euro 96 song, they even had the players in the video, Steve Stone was particularly keen to be in it and Terry Venables described it as a 'a real key-tapper'
Three Lions 98 wasn't the official song for France 98, that was Echo and The Bunnymen with the Spice Girls, Space and Simon Fowler. Three Lions 98 and Vindaloo blew them out of the water.
Edit: Simply Red had the official song of the tournament
I always think it’s nearly impossible for a non-Brit to fully get the significance of football over here. It’s like a religion.
So true
IT'S COMMIN HOME🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽🇬🇧⚽
This is a festive song here in England. For the international football tournaments
It's coming home, was the strap line of euro 96, which was held entirely in England. The spiritual and arguable home of football. At the time 30 years since England had won..
It's now been 55 years since England won any major international tournament.
So it's coming home, has just taken on a whole new meaning.
England will score 6 goals. Sterling and Kane each score a hat trick.
Quoto
Very likely
@@harrykilbane Sterling for the golden boot as redemption for diving.
Its coming home🏴🏴
This should be our national anthem it brings us all together and don't pause that shit again lol
Sunday, Wembley, 8pm, ITV and BBC, be there!
I saw a kid on the news, with a football shirt on, that had three Lions on it( three Lion Chocolate bars!)
The *best* kind of Lion lol, chocolate
I've heard groups of people chanting "it's coming home" as they walk down the street outside. Given all the medical issues of the last 18 months, I think a little light relief is called for.
Absolutely!
Best song in Football, ever. IT'S COMING HOME GUYS!!!!
ITS COMIN HOOOOME
No matter what happens in the final, you will never, ever, ever stop me dreaming. Even if we lose this, with the way Southgate has made me love this england team, it's came home to my heart. Never stop dreaming no matter what but CMONN THE BOYS BRING IT HOME I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE
Yes same. No matter what, he has managed a team that have re-gained the love back, that England lost in 2016, after the match against Iceland. They really do deserve to be in the final, and like you said, everyone will be believing in England like the nation used to. If they win the Euros, I believe that'll give them the confidence to take them to the World Cup finals! I knew back in 2018 that England getting to the semis was just the start of all the good to come, especially when everyone doubted that the team at the time, could even get that far, as most of them were still fresh and young, now they've come to the Euros kicking ass!
Euro '96 was held in England, I think. And the modern game of soccer originated in England. Hence, in 1996; "football's coming home".
Jules remet still gleaming is a reference to the name of the actual world cup trophy which we won in 1966, it's still gleaming
That trophy was gifted to the Brazil team in 1970 I think, which is why the trophy we've had since then is different.
I fear it was melted down when it was stolen in Brazil.
Thanks for reacting to this. Been number 1 in UK 4 times since 1996, looking like a fifth time. Sunday, after 55 years. Its coming home. The whole of England are behind the 3 lions.
It's from a band called the lightning seeds totally awesome band from the 90s here in England, glad you enjoyed it from a Englishman, when he says everyone knows the score he means all us English no we won't win basically but we keep on dreaming as the last time we won any major international football tournament was in 1966 so that's why we hurt but we are invthe euros final against Italy so everyone comes back to tjis song its timeless I was a teenager in 1996 when this song come out, C'MON ENGLAND 😀
I'm 51, I dare not say them words until after Sunday I hope, since the Denmark match I'm a bag of nerves and unless England are winning by a big amount in the final it will be agony to watch. If we win, this country will go insane with partying
You're not wrong there, I was home with the wife for the Denmark game and what started out as a few drinks to watch the game turned out to be two adults peeping through fingers and becoming alcohol dependent during extra time😂 Sunday is going to be a rollercoaster but at least my wife will be watching it at home as she is a talisman of fortune,she wasn't that fussed about football until the 2018 world cup and she was home for the penalties against Columbia but was at work for the Croatia game😮 she's off Sunday🤔🍻 ✌️🏴✌️🍻
Yeah I refuse to say or sing it. I'm off Sunday, so by the time 8pm comes round I'll be a bag of nerves. And if we lead I'll be even worse 😳
I'm with you there. I'm 47 and remember the agony of world cup 90 and Euro 96 too well. I will believe it when the final whistle blows and not before. My only regret will be that my old dad won't be there to see it.
@@justonecornetto80 you're lucky then, not remembering 86. I was ready to murder after seeing us go out to a cheat that the whole world saw except the ref lol. 78 was my 1st, even though we weren't there I still remember Holland v argie final
7 dislikes, looks like the Scottish, Welsh and Irish are out in force😂
We Irish didn’t qualify for the Euros so no hate from us probably rest of Europe 😂😂😂
@@celticrebel5229 😂 you're probably right 👍
😂😂😂😂😂
It finally came home.
Well played Lionesses.
The song is about the England national team (also called the 3 lions) and the dream of winning the Football World Cup (or the Euros) again.
England won in 1966 but haven't even made it to the final since. Hence "30 years of hurt" as the song was written in 1996.
With England now due to be in the finals of the Euros tomorrow people are singing this EVERYWHERE....
THE 3 LIONS, WAS THE SYMBOL OF, KING, RICHARD THE LION HEART. IT HAS BEEN A SYMBOL FOR ENGLAND SINCE THE 12TH CENTURY. THE 3 LIONS HAS BEEN ON THE ENGLAND FOOTBALL SHIRT SINCE 1872. THEIR VERY FIRST INTERNATIONAL MATCH.
THAT MATCH WAS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. 👍
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
Actually it goes back further than that, it was the Norman coat of arms when William conquered England in 1066 and has been a part of the English Royal Coat of Arms ever since.
@@Oxley016 Yes you're right, it was the three lions and the fleur-de-lis.
England: Football's Coming Home
Fergie from Still Game: Naw It Isnae!
Lol People say that this song is arrogant, that us English are arrogant for singing. Couldn't be further from the truth LOL. Its about always supporting your team, win - lose- or draw. Always believing, having that hope. The three lions represent England. So not sure the whole song could be sung for another team. And the line " Football's coming home" is because football is said to have originated over here. The final of Euro 2020 is Sunday evening. England vs Italy. Fingers crossed Sunday night football will finally come home!! Hopefully LOL
If they think is arrogant they haven’t listened to it. It is the joy of the game and the not quiet making itzz
People believe what they want to believe. All hatred of another team based on local rivalry is inherently a bit petty and daft, so fans always invent negative traits about the fans/players of that team to make their hatred seem justified.
Frank Skinner used to have a talk show , he interviewed Britney Spears , Back Street Boys and Shania Twain among others...they're on youtube
The Britney Spears interview in incredible, the Gazza one too!
I've been a huge Frank Skinner fan since the days of Fantasy Football. His interview of Ozzy Osbourne is classic stuff!
Avalon uploaded it to CZcams not too long ago too!
@martin shreeve I remember an episode in a later series of Unplanned where Frank said he was sick of the theme song, and hated it. 😂
Football's packed it's bags and it's not coming home for a long damn time 🤣
The Germans tried to rip it off lol
It's coming home 🇫🇴🇫🇴🇫🇴🇫🇴
To the Faroe Islands??? That is the flag you have there
Three Lions is both painful and comforting at the same time, it’s so unlike any other song. I get chills every single time. I feel like I could cry but I also can’t help smiling. Next year, it’s coming home 🏴
I don't care how corny or annoying this song may seem for everyone not English but this is a song that has played since it came out at every tournament, every time England believes they will go on to win it when deep down we know we can't...but this year ITS COMING HOME!
It’s neither corny nor annoying. It’s an amazing anthem. When they played it at FT in the womens final, I nearly cried
the three lions..goes back to the 13th century...it was richard the lionhearts (king of england) battle crest..it was adopted as the emblem of england ever since...thats why the english football team, has the three lions on their shirts..hence the song "three lions on a shirt"...that emblem carries a lot of english history
Weren't they originally 3 leopards? And later they became known as lions. I think during the 100yrs war the French referred to the English as "leopards"
Just to explain the song @bxkid7, without tripping over any minefields or insulting any other team:
The song Three Lions (football’s coming home) takes place 30 years later in 1996, after our first (and only) trophy win in 1966, a time where, after many hollow years of “ever so close” or “so close yet far away”, a new team brought football spirit back to England.
Despite many assumption of arrogance, and it may certainly seem that way if people listen to English hooligans, the song represents a forlorn and scorned hope that England will one day be a top contender like we were in 1966.
It’s been 55 years, hopefully, our long drought will finally be over.
"Whatever your team is, good luck"
There's only 2 teams left lol
Maybe just maybe this was recorded a while ago think about that for a sec.
This is about the national team. The players are picked from the best of the individual clubs.
This song is about international football say Brazil vs United States. The three lions on the shirt refers to the England international teams badge on their shirt.
Look at some of the songs by the group The Lightening seeds, Lucky you, Change, Perfect, The life of Riley, so many great tunes bud.
First band I ever saw live, so many excellent songs!
- “everyone knows the score…
they’ve seen it all before…” -
That’s not about a score result but that everyone knows since 1966 you could always count on England to find a way to lose. The song was written for Euro 96 when England were once again tournament host, hence the line “30 years of hurt always has me dreaming.”
Who remembers the Pizza Hut advert from the 90s “This time he’s hit the post” 😂😂😂
It's coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved going on 'Genius' (the lyric explaining site) and reading every meaning to the lines, and hearing the context for the added in quotes.
playing this song right now when England have reached the euro final on sunday against Italy might get mixed reaction... the song 'its coming home' is regards to 1966 when England last won the world cup...so when they say' football is coming home' it simply means that England have the chance to win either the world cup or the European championships ... this is Englands anthem in hope we bring it home again.
'It's coming home' referred to the tournament in 1996 being held back in the 'home' of football. It had nothing to do with the 1966 win, or even winning the trophy.
@@RevStickleback depends on the way you look at it. yes, the song has reference to were football was born. "footballs coming home" however, if you read the lyrics which says "Three Lions on a shirt Jules Rimet still gleaming Thirty years of hurt Never stopped me dreaming" the song is of reference to, and remembering 1966. so to say it has nothing to do with England winning in 1966 is Ludicrous. i can only imagine your a Scotland supporter. Get over it.
@@cdman7768 I'm not against the song. Your comment read like you were saying "it's coming home" is a reference to winning in 1966.
Kid, the big question... is it coming home???
It's coming mate 👍
Dear God no, we'll never hear the end of it 😂
YESSSS
This song is only about the English national team (3 lions is the English badge).The song is about England and then, when the Euros were being played in England we had not won an international trophy for 30 years. The chorus say Jules Rimet still gleaming, Jules Rimet trophy is the World Cup Trophy and the World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet, the Olympics is second and we won it in 1966 and then nothing since. This song is about how England have been so disappointing ever since and every international tournament they throw it away. On Sunday we were in the finals of the Euros V Italy and we lost, on penalties again! The reference 'it's coming home' is that England is the birthplace of football but now the whole world are doling better at us and we just want football (a trophy) to come home.
Dell boy just did a message of support for England 😄

It's Coming Home! 🏴🦁🦁🦁
Kuntz on the back of the shirt is a real name
Todays the day football comes home ladies and gentlemen !
Best song in international football ITS COMING HOME 🏴
At euros in 96 it was held in England where modern game started the team at the time was expected to go on to win tournament. Everyone knows the score ties in with years of hurt because of times teams failed to live up to the quality they had.
Our women brought it home 🏴🇬🇧
Shut the front door
@@lucus8711 no one says that anymore. It’s cringe!

Check out the other great football song by the group New Order but renamed England New Order for the song World In Motion
Hes already done that. It's on his patreon
Great vid mate. People don’t understand how much of a big deal this is to the people that live in England. If we win tomorrow., the entire country will pop off! No one will be working Monday lol.
someone has probably already mentioned this but anyways, this song is referring to the England national football team in major competitions. the song was published in 1996 for the Euro's which was held in England, however, the song has a double meaning as it's widely agreed football was created or at least its rules was formally written down in England so here in England, we view the spiritual home of the sport as being England. it's also a reminder of the fact England hasn't won anything since the 1966 world cup, a few near misses but no trophies for 55 years. It sort of become a rallying cry to get behind the lads and to remind ourselves not to expect too much....but hope cause you never know. The reason this is popular again is England has reached the Euros final for the first time and the first final in 55 years since 1966 and the match will be played tomorrow at Wembley Stadium in London...also the location of that 1966 final and the manager of the England side is the man who missed a crucial penalty in 1996 the when this song was released and that missed meant England didn't make the final that year. It's difficult to describe to an American as Americans don't have international sports in the same way, the closest thing Americans might relate it to is the Olympic's. oh and one more thing....IT'S COMING HOME!!!
This song is about the England national team which last won a major tournament, the World Cup, in 1966. Watching them get to semi-finals and lose every one has been torment for the whole countryever since. This song was written for the 1996 European Championship - hence 30 years of hurt since England won the World Cup. It's 55 years of hurt now but on Sunday England will play Italy in the final of the European Championships so it might just be coming home this time around. A nation holds its breath.
this song came out in 1996 for the Euro's, which is a tournament for all the national reams in Europe.
The funny thing about this song is, Germany won the tournament, and the great thing about the German fans is, when they are beating/beat English teams they start singing in English, and German fans are loud, Germans are my favourite clubs away fans actually.
So when back in Germany parading the trophy, the German fans sang "Footballs coming home" PMSL...... And they say Germans have no sense of humour, bollox, they are well funny
It’s about the England National Football team
For countries who don't understand the phase "football is coming home" represents. (England is classed as the founders and home of football/Soccer)
It's coming home 🏴
England 2 1 Italy tomorrow night
It's coming home babbbbbby 🏴🏴🦁🦁🦁🏆 btw you look abit like David Baddiel
Best English anthem ever. Totally rousing.
Hmm…I give GOAT England anthem to “world in motion”
Scotland created Football not them they created the one with the funny Ball called Rugby it was a Scottish club Queens Park that brought in Nets for the Goals and they used the art of dribbling first. The Worlds first international match was in Scotland against England which Scotland won the Oldest club derby in the World is Hearts v Hibernian and The record attendance was at Hampden park when officially 149,000 tickets were sold and there was also thousands that got in without a ticket with estimates of 185,000 in the Ground.
Let me introduce you to Britpop, it's obviously catchy.
06:11 I've never been big on association football and I still think this is awesome. Mind you, it was on a tape I had of The Lightning Seeds greatest hits a couple of years shy of being a teenager.
06:36 Is there a tune associated with the national soccer team of the US that isn't the Star-Spangled Banner?
It was nice I have to say, that the majority of the English tv commentators and pundits were unbiased, and honest, in saying it should never have been a penalty.
Win or lose, finally i understand why the Scots get so excited at actually qualifying for something.
@Johnny Kerr Not really, but making a sock puppet account to winge about humour because you are sensitive about your performance is, frankly, pathetic.
Prediction
Italy - England 0-4
Would love to see your thoughts on the new version they just released for Christmas ;D
You should have a look/listen to New Order - World in Motion which was the official England team song for the World Cup Italia 90.
It's on his patreon page.
If he was not heared 3 lions plus good game England against Italy we never won tho it's kinda upsetting for us
On a sad note Frank Skinner is now suffering badly with Dementia,, pray for him 🙏🏼
It's coming home.
And Psycho screaming....(better version)
World in Motion and Vindaloo are also great
He has done both of them. Vindaloo is on his channel and the other is on his patreon
Great song!
IT’S COMING HOME!! 🏴
Vindaloo was a good song to
He reacted to that one a few months ago
Oh god no
It’s na comin home
Did you get home?
There is an updated version 'Euro 2000 ' where German fans are wearing shirts with KUNTZ on the back.
Also, they actually had a player with that surname. They just changed the rest of the teams shirts too :D
@@dene39 A viewer of Euro 96 noticed/heard the commentator say "The Germans are warming up their substitute, Kuntz."
Well that's a bit strong.
ITS COMING HOME ⚽⚽⚽🏆🏆🏆🏆
Naw it isnae
Get that shit in the bin 🏴
🐺man👍nice one,if you were here in the UK this Sunday evening and England manage to win the final you would not believe the scenes you would see in the streets. Take care Mr🐺✌️🏴✌️🇺🇸✌️🇬🇧✌️🍻👍
When American sports teams win major trophies it's not uncommon for the celebrations to result in full scale riots with looting and buildings being burned down, so that not happening might be a surprise.
It didn’t come home we lost the Italy on penalties
Viva Italia 👊🏻🇮🇹 🏴
🤣🤣🤣
ann an èiginn faodaidh tu a bhith an-còmhnaidh an urra ris na h-Eadailtich 🤣
Poor Scots. Been supporting 4 different teams this euros and still haven’t seen a win 😂😂
ITS COMING HOME ... so ner 😋
Let’s celebrate:

That was the official video, another includes the fans singing it at Wembley stadium, hundreds upon hundreds of fans waving the St. George flag, It was quite a thing to see.
over the years there have been may many many attempts at an anthem , they succeed in bad ones..............this one in 96 has stood the test of time. every so often the guys and the fans change some lyrics, this year its 55 years of hurt. no longer
I tried to watch this video on your Patreon page earlier, but the video wouldn't play. :( I'm not certain, but I think Ipad can't play embedded videos if they are in mp4 format.
