The phone rings its early its seven oclock
he says Sorry I woke you but I just had to talk
You know last night remember when I tried to choke you?
I didnt 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 hes over and over and under
and after hes finished she lies there and wonders
just why does she need him and why does she stay here, and then in the
darkness, shell quietly say Dear,
youve never really known that when the white flag is flown,
no one no one no one has won the war.
Theyre complicated people
leading complicated lives,
and he complicates their problems
by telling complicated lies
he tells her hes sorry, she tells him Its over,
he tells her hes sorry, she says over and over
Youve 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 andthere
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 therego
the ribbons
There goes a raven and therego
the ribbons
There goes a raven and therego
The ribbons the ribbons the ribbons
The ribbons of a flag
