[00:00:00] Letter to Brittania from the Union Jacks (Clean Album Version) - Ian Hunter

[00:00:27] Poor Britannia

[00:00:30] Drowning in your waves

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

[00:00:36] And the best of the brave

[00:00:39] I have known you ever

[00:00:41] Since I was a child

[00:00:45] How come you don't salute me now

[00:00:48] When I smile

[00:00:51] You was always so young and

[00:00:54] On all o' that money

[00:00:57] How come these mourners pass you by

[00:01:00] And think it's so funny

[00:01:03] I'd be there with you

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

[00:01:09] For I am loyalty but my mast

[00:01:13] I cannot forsake

[00:01:27] I looked down on a bunch of amusements

[00:01:30] I looked down walls

[00:01:33] I've looked on hangings 'n

[00:01:35] Parades 'n city halls

[00:01:39] And I've seen love in so many living rooms

[00:01:45] And I've seen rich men slowly

[00:01:47] Die inside their tombs

[00:01:51] I know we're just two charms

[00:01:54] But it's heavy on my mind

[00:01:57] Faith in me I said now look at time

[00:02:03] I know you're just a victim of your history

[00:02:10] Trust in me I said and you would be free

[00:02:26] You pull me up and you pull me down

[00:02:32] And when the queen's in residence

[00:02:35] I hang around

[00:02:38] I don't wave madly 'cos

[00:02:40] The climate's civilized

[00:02:44] Just flutter sadly 'cos

[00:02:46] I'm old 'n I'm wise

[00:02:51] And you been up and you you been down

[00:02:56] You been through many things I know

[00:03:00] You been around

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

[00:03:04] In the conflicts of the past

[00:03:09] Britannia I implore you

[00:03:12] Do not lower me by half
