Barenaked Ladies - The Flag слова песни
Words and Music by Steven Page The phone rings, it`s early, it`s seven o`clock, He says, "Sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk. You know last night, remember, when I tried to choke you? I didn`t mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke." You should know that by now, When the chequered flag comes down, No one, no one, no one has won the race. The next night he`s over and over and under And after he`s finished she lies there and wonders Just why does she need him, and why does she stay here, And then in the darkness, he`ll quietly say, "Dear, You`ve never really known. That when the white flag is flown, No one, no one, no one has won the war." They`re complicated people leading complicated lives, And he complicates their problems by telling complicated lies. He tells her he`s sorry. She tells him, "It`s over." He tells her he`s sorry. She says, over and over, "You`ve never really known, That when the white flag is flown, No one, no one, no one has won the war." There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird There goes a partridge and there goes a Go Train There goes an angel and there goes a steeple There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle There goes a raven and there go the ribbons There goes a raven and there go... The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons... The ribbons of the flag.
