Letra de Letter To Brittania From The Union Jack - 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 don�t 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 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

Have faith in me I said, now, look at time
I know you�re 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 queen�s in residence I hang around
I don�t wave madly �cos the climate�s civilised
Just flutter sadly �cos I�m old �n I�m 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.
