Flag Day Lyrics - Singles - Housemartins

Too many Florence Nightingales 

Not enough Robin Hoods 

Too many halos not enough heroes 

Coming up with the goods 

So you thought 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

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

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
