It's been 32 years
And I can still hear the crowds roar
The whole world was watching
When our Geoffrey scored his third
The crowd thought that it was all over
And it was, it really was
Every night I dream that
The Jules Rimmer World Cup
Wil once again belong in Wembley
Pride of our country
Defenders of our nation
Englands Lions march boldly on
This year, there's nothing to fear
I believe that the time now has come
Once more, the crowds will roar
And the nation will sing out
That England we love you
"But England can't win !"
"They're better than ever.
I assure you they can and they will,
It's our time again."
Too often we've been cheated
From trophies we've deserved
All those times we ought to have won
Remember Argentina ?
And Euro Ninety Six ?
Still the English Lions march on
This year, there's nothing to fear
I believe that the time now has come
Once more, the crowds will roar
And the nation will sing out
That England we love you
"Its no use"
"Listen, lads, youre gonna get out there,
And youre gonna go on,
And youre gonna score lots of goals
And the crowds gonna roar
And youre gonna tell all, all your grandkids
How we didnt blow it
Not here, not this time
Do you understand me ?
This year, there's nothing to fear
I know that the time now has come
Once more, the crowds will roar
And the nation will sing out
That England we love you
There were dozens of teams entered that year
But only one could win, one.
Millions of people watched that match, myself included
This year I'll be watching again.
