Baddiel & Skinner's Three Lions definitive England song

The song was written for Euro 96 by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner with the band the Lightning Seeds. Although "it's coming home" originally referred to the fact that England was hosting its first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup, it's now got a broader meaning - basically that England will win it.
