Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - The Flag

 
Words and Music by Steven Page 
The phone rings, it`s early, it`s seven o`clock, 
He says, "Sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk. 
You know last night, remember, when I tried to choke you? 
I didn`t mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke." 
You should know that by now, 
When the chequered flag comes down, 
No one, no one, no one has won the race. 
 
The next night he`s over and over and under 
And after he`s finished she lies there and wonders 
Just why does she need him, and why does she stay here, 
And then in the darkness, he`ll quietly say, "Dear, 
You`ve never really known. 
That when the white flag is flown, 
No one, no one, no one has won the war." 
 
They`re complicated people leading complicated lives, 
And he complicates their problems by telling complicated 
lies. 
He tells her he`s sorry. She tells him, "It`s over." 
He tells her he`s sorry. She says, over and over, 
"You`ve never really known, 
That when the white flag is flown, 
No one, no one, no one has won the war." 
 
There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird 
There goes a partridge and there goes a Go Train 
There goes an angel and there goes a steeple 
There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle 
There goes a raven and there go the ribbons 
There goes a raven and there go... 
The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons... 
The ribbons of the flag.
