(ian hunter) 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 dont 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 its so funny Id be there with you but Im 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 Ive looked on hangings n parades n city halls And Ive seen love in so many living rooms And Ive seen rich men slowly die inside their tombs I know were just two charms but its heavy on my mind Have faith in me I said, now, look at time I know youre 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 queens in residence I hang around I dont wave madly cos the climates civilised Just flutter sadly cos Im old n Im 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.
