Ian Hunter - Letter to Britannia from The Union Jack songtekst

Je score:

                     

 (ian hunter)



Poor britannia - drowning in your waves

With the body of the unknown soldier and the best of the brave

I have known you ever since I was a child

How come you don't salute me - now - when I smile



You was always so young and on all o' that money

How come new mourners pass you by and think it's so funny

I'd be there with you but I'm chained unto this stake

For I am loyalty but my mast I cannot forsake



I looked down on a bunch of amusementsI looked down walls

I've looked on hangings 'n parades 'n city halls

And I've seen love in so many living rooms

And I've seen rich men slowly die inside their tombs



I know we're just two charms but it's heavy on my mind

Have faith in me I saidnowlook at time

I know you're just a victim of your history but

Have faith in meI said and you would be free....



You pull me up and you pull me down

And when the queen's in residence I hang around

I don't wave madly 'cos the climate's civilised

Just flutter sadly 'cos I'm old 'n I'm wise



And you-you been upand you - you been down

You been through many things I know you been around

I have fought armies for you in the conflicts of the past

BritanniaI implore youdo not lower me by half.
