Atomic Kitten - Southgate You're The One (Football's Coming Home Again) Lyrics

Atomic Kitten Lyrics

"Southgate You're The One (Football's Coming Home Again)"

If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
And dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
But football's coming home again

And if you see me sitting in the stands
I'm laughin' and I'm jokin'
Doing what I can
I won't put you down
'Cause I want you around
Football's coming home again

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it
Since we've been apart
My friends make me smile
If only for a while
Football's coming home again

One, two, three, four

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

For now I'll have to wait
But this is our time
It is our fate
'Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
Football's coming home again

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

One, two, three, four
Whoa, whoa

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

This re-make of Atomic Kitten's 2001 hit "Whole Again" originated from a chant that English football fans performed during 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The chorus of that song was altered to give a shout-out to national team manager Gareth Southgate.

Atomic Kitten first performed "Southgate You're The One (Football's Coming Home Again)" at Boxpark Croydon in South London before England's quarterfinal game against Ukraine during 2020 FIFA World Cup on the 3rd of July, 2021. The venue posted a snippet of the performance on Twitter with the message "The first time ever performing their WHOLE AGAIN #SouthgateRemix #EURO2020 @carlinguk @AtomicKOfficial thank you for you legends @NatashaOfficial @LizMcClarnon".

The band stated of this song, "We are super excited and grateful to be able to contribute to the awesome energy and patriotism that is filling the England streets with this version of 'Whole Again'. Totally inspired by the England football fans in support of Gareth Southgate and the super talented England football team, we will be singing loud and proud 'Football's coming home'."
