England's Staying Home

When Croatia beat England at Wembley 3-2 to crash The Three Lions out of qualification for Euro 2008, a nation mourned. It was the first time the English had missed out on a major tournament since the 1994 World Cup. So in an attempt to stop the bleeding with humor, DraftFCB produced this LOL viral video for Savannah Cider that spoofs The Lightning Seeds' 1996 viddy "Three Lions" "("It's coming home, it's coming home! Football's coming home"). Love it!

WE'RE STAYING HOME


From YouTube:
Isn't the best bit about being an England fan savouring that feeling of disappointment and resentment when we inevitably fail? Enjoy it all over again, and without the pressure of having something to lose: England's staying home!

Lyrics:
We're staying home,
We're staying home,
We're staying,
England's staying home...

Everyone knows we need a draw
We don't even need to score
Here we go
We're so sure
Then England goes and throws it away
Gone and blown it away
Should of known they won't play

And I remember...

Three Lions on a shirt
Hides broken hearts still bleeding
Forty years of hurt
No signs of heeling

It's two a piece and it's all cheers
And then all your worst fears
bring you down
you're in tears
And I remember needed to score
To get back in the draw
Croatia belting the ball
And Russian dancing

Three Lions on a shirt
Hides broken hearts still bleeding
Forty years of hurt
You've got to hate this feeling

We came for the game
But it's just not the same

We're staying home,
We're staying home,
We're staying,
England's staying home...
