The Flag lyrics

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
