The Flag Lyrics - Gordon - Barenaked Ladies

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 she'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 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 

There goes a raven and there go the ribbons 

The ribbons the ribbons, the ribbons of the flag
