Letter To Brittania From The Union Jack - Ian Hunter[00:00:00]

Poor Britannia [00:00:27]

Drowning in your waves[00:00:29]

With the body of the unknown soldier[00:00:32]

And the best of the brave[00:00:35]

I have known you ever[00:00:38]

Since I was a child[00:00:40]

How come you don't salute me now[00:00:44]

When I smile [00:00:47]

You was always so young and[00:00:50]

On all o' that money[00:00:53]

How come these mourners pass you by[00:00:56]

And think it's so funny [00:00:59]

I'd be there with you[00:01:02]

But I'm chained unto this stake[00:01:04]

For I am loyalty but my mast[00:01:08]

I cannot forsake[00:01:12]

I looked down on a bunch of amusements [00:01:26]

I looked down walls[00:01:29]

I've looked on hangings 'n[00:01:32]

Parades 'n city halls[00:01:34]

And I've seen love in so many living rooms[00:01:38]

And I've seen rich men slowly[00:01:44]

Die inside their tombs[00:01:46]

I know we're just two charms[00:01:50]

But it's heavy on my mind[00:01:53]

Faith in me I said now look at time[00:01:56]

I know you're just a victim of your history[00:02:02]

Trust in me I said and you would be free[00:02:09]

You pull me up and you pull me down[00:02:25]

And when the Queen's in residence [00:02:31]

I hang around[00:02:34]

I don't wave madly 'cos[00:02:37]

The climate's civilized[00:02:39]

Just flutter sadly 'cos[00:02:43]

I'm old 'n I'm wise[00:02:45]

And you been up and you you been down[00:02:49]

You been through many things I know [00:02:55]

You been around[00:02:58]

I have fought armies for you[00:03:01]

In the conflicts of the past[00:03:03]

Britannia I implore you [00:03:07]

Do not lower me by half[00:03:10]
