SotD - Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds

This year's Christmas number one has been released [you can put money on it - Ed]. Listen to Three Lions (It's Coming Home for Christmas) from Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds ...

In case you have been living under a rock this past while, there's a football/soccer thing apparently starting on Sunday. Yes, it's the World Cup. Yes, it's in November and December this time and not the middle of summer. Yes, this has mucked up all our Fantasy Premier League Football games for the next five weeks. And you know what else it has caused to happen... Yes, a new CHRISTMAS version of Three Lions has been released... [oh deep joy - Ed]

And, just in case you want to sing along [NO! - Ed] with the festively re-written World Cup now-standard song, we've added the lyrics below the video for you. [*picks up bagpipes* - Ed]

Isn’t it character, and heart?

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming

Football’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             [Getting a tad repetitive now - Ed]

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming home

For Christmas

Football’s coming home

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming home

For Christmas                          

Football’s coming home

(For Christmas)

                                                  [Oooh the new bit - Ed]

Loving that Lionesses win

But thoughts of last year’s final kick in

And Moscow

And Turin

The bloke seems cursed

 

Whatever they try

And I think I know why

They’re just jinxed in July

 

But it’s December…

 

Three Lions on a sleigh

With She-Lion’s inspiration 

Santa says let’s play

The Christmas tree formation

 

When they decided on Qatar

Should have checked VAR

It’s too hot

 

And too far

 

So we’ll be…

 

…snowflakes watching it here

This is our time of year

We’ll be having a beer

 

Actually, I won’t because I’ve got alcohol issues…

 

Three Lions on a Sleigh

Yule Rimet still gleaming 

A football Christmas song

Not at all demeaning…

 

 What a cracker of a game…England are giving them a real good stuffing…

Ding Dong Merrily on Sky…oh no it’s not on Sky…it has to be on terrestrial doesn’t it…for legal reasons…

 

All I want’s the World Cup

Don’t bother wrapping it up

 

It’s coming home

For Christmas

Football’s coming home

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming home 

For Christmas

Football’s coming home

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming home 

For Christmas

Football’s coming home

 

It’s coming home

It’s coming home 

For Christmas

Football’s coming home

 

It’s coming home

it’s coming home …

 

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

(For the men’s game!)

Never stopped me dreaming

 

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

20 weeks of hurt

(For the women’s game, obviously)

Never stopped me dreaming

 

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

(It’s Englaaaaaaand!)

Several years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

 

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Quite a lot of years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

 

Three lions on a shirt…
