The Housemartins - Flag Day - John Peel 21/07/85 Lyrics

Lyrics Flag Day - John Peel 21/07/85 - The Housemartins



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
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
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
Decided to save a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor
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
Flag day, flag day, flag day
Flag day, flag day, flag day
