Flag Day — текст песни (housemartins)

Too many florence nightingales

Not enough robin hoods

Too many halos not enough heroes

Coming up with the goods

So you though youd like to change the world

Decided to stage a jumble sale

For the poor, for the poor



Its a waste of time if you know what they mean

Try shaking a box in front of the queen

cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams

Its a waste of time if you know what they mean



Too many hands in too many pockets

Not enough hands on hearts

Too many ready to call it a day

Before the day starts



So you thought youd like to see them healed

Got blue peter to stage an appeal

For the poor, for the poor



Its a waste of time if you know what they mean

Try shaking a box in front of the queen

cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams

Its a waste of time if you know what they mean



Flag day, flag day, flag day
