Lyrics for Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack by Ian Hunter:
| | | Artist: | Ian Hunter |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 123 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 amusements, I 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 said, now, look at time
I know you're just a
victim of your history but
Have faith in me, I 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 up, and 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
Britannia, I implore you,
do not lower me by half. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
