                                        Barenaked Ladies -  The Flag слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
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 she`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 
There goes a raven and there go 
 
The ribbons the ribbons the ribbons 
The ribbons of the flag.
