Letter to Brittania from the Union Jacks (Clean Album Version) - Ian Hunter[00:00:00]

Poor Britannia[00:00:27]

Drowning in your waves[00:00:30]

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

And the best of the brave[00:00:36]

I have known you ever[00:00:39]

Since I was a child[00:00:41]

How come you don't salute me now[00:00:45]

When I smile[00:00:48]

You was always so young and[00:00:51]

On all o' that money[00:00:54]

How come these mourners pass you by[00:00:57]

And think it's so funny[00:01:00]

I'd be there with you[00:01:03]

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

For I am loyalty but my mast[00:01:09]

I cannot forsake[00:01:13]

I looked down on a bunch of amusements[00:01:27]

I looked down walls[00:01:30]

I've looked on hangings 'n[00:01:33]

Parades 'n city halls[00:01:35]

And I've seen love in so many living rooms[00:01:39]

And I've seen rich men slowly[00:01:45]

Die inside their tombs[00:01:47]

I know we're just two charms[00:01:51]

But it's heavy on my mind[00:01:54]

Faith in me I said now look at time[00:01:57]

I know you're just a victim of your history[00:02:03]

Trust in me I said and you would be free[00:02:10]

You pull me up and you pull me down[00:02:26]

And when the queen's in residence[00:02:32]

I hang around[00:02:35]

I don't wave madly 'cos[00:02:38]

The climate's civilized[00:02:40]

Just flutter sadly 'cos[00:02:44]

I'm old 'n I'm wise[00:02:46]

And you been up and you you been down[00:02:51]

You been through many things I know[00:02:56]

You been around[00:03:00]

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

In the conflicts of the past[00:03:04]

Britannia I implore you[00:03:09]

Do not lower me by half[00:03:12]
