Housemartins - Flag Day Lyrics

Send "Flag Day" ringtones to your cell

Too many Florence Nightingales 
Not enough Robin Hoods 
Too many halos not enough heroes 
Coming up with the goods 

So you though you'd like to change the world 
Decided to stage a jumble sale 
For the poor, for the poor 

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean 
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen 
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean 

Too many hands in too many pockets 
Not enough hands on hearts 
Too many ready to call it a day 
Before the day starts 

So you thought you'd like to see them healed 
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal 
For the poor, for the poor 

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean 
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen 
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams 
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean 

Flag Day, Flag Day, Flag Day
