Where's the Fire Gone?

[Verse 1] They say it's coming home, but where's it been? Years of heartbreak, lost in the dream, Lions on the crest, but where's the roar? Promises of glory, yet we're still on the floor. [Chorus] England, oh England, where did we go wrong? The hopes of a nation sung in every song, Decades of waiting, still holding on, England, oh England, where has the fire gone? [Verse 2] Stars on the pitch, but shadows in play, Golden generations, just faded away, Managers come and go, tactics rearrange, Yet the silverware's missing, nothing seems to change. [Chorus] England, oh England, where did we go wrong? The hopes of a nation sung in every song, Decades of waiting, still holding on, England, oh England, where has the fire gone? [Bridge] We've got the passion, we've got the pride, But the dreams of Wembley are hard to find, From the terraces we cheer, in the rain and cold, Waiting for the moment, for the stories to be told. [Chorus] England, oh England, where did we go wrong? The hopes of a nation sung in every song, Decades of waiting, still holding on, England, oh England, where has the fire gone? [Outro] So here's to the future, may it be bright, Under the floodlights, let's win the fight, For the heart of England, let's reclaim the throne, Till then we ask, is football really coming home
