Heard the original Billy Joel version recently, reminded me of this Italia '90 classic.

Sounded better in 1990 to be honest

Verse 1:
Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand
Johnny Giles. Ireland
Mick McCarthy, Stephen Staunton
Cascarino
Tony Galvin, Niall Quinn
Packie doesn't let em in
North of Ireland
South of Ireland
Only one can go

Verse 2:
Paul McGrath
Back Four
Aldridge got another score
World Cup
English Clubs
Kevin Moran and the Dubs
European Championship
How can we forget the trip
Andy Townsend
Kevin Sheedy
Stapleton's a supersub

Chorus:
Were gonna start a fire
And when Rome is burning
there'll be no returning

Were gonna start a fire
We have Jack to mind us
and the fans behind us

Verse 3:
Butragueno, Hungary
We spared the Dutch in Germany
Charlie Hurley, Liam Tuohy
Opel Invest
Ray Houghton, Liverpool
Ronnie Whelan's so cool
O'Leary in the Sunday World
Con is in the press

Stuttgart was no dream
now we have a winning team
Billy Bingham, Budapest
Man of Magic, Georgie Best
Eamon Dunphy writes it down
Dalymount to Landsdowne
English Football in a mess
Trouble on the Terraces

Chorus:
Were gonna start a fire
And when Rome is burning
there'll be no returning

Were gonna start a fire
We have Jack to mind us
and the fans behind us

Verse4:
Dasaev, Socrates,
Maradona, Ardiles,
Puskas, Bessonov,
Rene Ver Der Kerkof,
Hamilton, Jim Magee,
Saint And Greavsie on TV,
Maradona Hand of God
Brady should be in the Squad

Chris Morris, score draw
Don Givens, Denis Law,
Eusebio Jr, Ronnie Whelan Senior
Pele #10
We'll never see his like again
Gorbache is Mean
Champions, Argentina

Chorus:
Were gonna start a fire
And when Rome is burning
there'll be no returning

Were gonna start a fire
We have Jack to mind us
and the fans behind us

Verse5:
Netherlands, Egypt
England got a free trip
Pleaded, Seeded
Because of the supporters
Ruud Gullit might be out
Holland wouldn't have a shout
Hoddle and Waddle
Have they got the bottle
We have England in the draw
And the Dutch like before
One thing that were grateful for
We didnt get the Mafia

Chorus:
Were gonna start a fire?And when Rome is burning
there'll be no returning

Were gonna start a fire
We have Jack to mind us
and the fans behind us

Verse6:
Seeded in Sicily
Off the coast of Italy
6 hours boat trip
We can take the hardship
But the fans couldnt care
They can travel anywhere
No one else can match the sound
Our supporters bring around
June 11, English Game
We can do the trick again
Egypt next and then the Dutch
Its the second round for us
When we finally get to Rome
No one will be left at home
Aldridge is about to score
Listen to the Irish Roar

Chorus:
Were gonna start a fire
And when Rome is burning
there'll be no returning

Were gonna start a fire
We have Jack to mind us
and the fans behind us

Tune and a half, very much underrated. As good as Put Em Under Pressure!

This is a poor line though.

Took this bit to be a sign we were going to win that quarter - final

When we finally get to Rome
No one will be left at home
Aldridge is about to score

Well done AntrimMan for posting those lyrics, I loved that song, brilliantly written.

A few changes

Dasaev, Socrates,
Maradona, Ardiles,
Puskas, Bessonov,
Rene Ver Der Kerkof,
Hamilton, Jim Magee,
Saint And Greavsie on TV,
Maradona Hand of God
Brady should be in the Squad

Chris Morris, score draw
Don Givens, Denis Law,
Eusebio Jr, Ronnie Whelan Senior
Pele #10
We'll never see his like again
Gorbache is Mean
Champions, Argentina

should be

I think - MaracanĂ£ Ardiles 

and

Goicoechea's meaner     (those of us old enough will remember THAT tackle on Maradona)
Champions Argentina

also Junior as in the player rather than Eusebio Jr.

Still have the tape somewhere and had it blasting out driving around Italy.
