歌曲歌詞
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 these 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
Faith in me I said now look at time
I know you're just a victim of your history
Trust 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 civilized
Just flutter sadly 'cos
I'm old 'n I'm wise
And 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
