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

[00:00:27] Poor Britannia

[00:00:29] Drowning in your waves

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:47] When I smile

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:12] I cannot forsake

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

[00:01:29] I looked down walls

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

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

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

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

[00:01:46] Die inside their tombs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:34] I hang around

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:58] You been around

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

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

[00:03:07] Britannia I implore you

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