Oh here we go again,
myself I fancy France
Brazil or Spain. ”
” It’s coming home
I saw it in a dream,
sure it wasn’t a nightmare
as your neighbours heard a scream ? ”
” It’s coming home
England are hard to beat,
you’re talking nonsense
as they’ll suffer in the heat. ”
” It’s coming home
Three Lions on the up,
nah, they’ve got no chance
of winning the World Cup. ”
” It’s coming home
going to be our year,
no, you’ll be crying in the pub
weeping again into your beer. ”
” It’s coming home
our squad is the best,
are you on drugs ?
please give it a rest.”
” It’s coming home
so from you I’ll hear no more,
as you’ll be eating humble pie
when you hear the Three Lions roar !”

Notes

Two football fans talking in the pub about England and their chances in the World Cup.
One really positive while the other the complete opposite, as I’m an England fan in tournament football I’m remaining calm as they do have a habit of failing, so best remain impartial.
As to which one of these two is right is anybody’s guess ?
