Guest of the Government |
| So you’ve tied your colours to the mast |
| Held up the white bag with the highest flag |
| Lock the bathroom door, boy, have a blast |
| Use the flush to justify the aftermath. |
| .. the aftermath |
| Oh look now, you’re a guest of the government |
| Oh caught out peering over the parapet |
| Look now you’re a guest of the government |
| So you’ve tied your colours to the tree |
| Try and bat back questions with certainty |
| Don’t forget your name though — that’s key |
| Let the flock take stock and curb the misery. |
| .. the misery |
| Oh look now, you’re the guest of the government |
| Oh caught out peering over the parapet |
| Look now you’re a guest of the government |
| Oh look now, you’re a guest of the government |
| Oh lined up like a pale-faced president |
| Look now you’re a guest of the government |
| Look — let’s speak of our flags and the fashionably late |
| The tug between those who come to drink and those to create |
| By the end of the night it’s all been granted the old news shrug |
| And we all fall gently in a comfortable hug |
| And with both eyes on the watch and a trip to the baltic states |
| And the love slowly conquers like rust on a gate |
| Though the surface can scratch you and the colour can fade |
| It’s the feeling that starts in the tips of your toes as we rise up again. |
| .. |
| as we rise up again |
| Oh look now, you’re the guest of the government |
| Oh caught out peering over the parapet |
| Look now you’re a guest of the government |
| Oh look now, you’re a guest of the government |
| Oh lined up like a pale-faced president |
| Look now you’re a guest of the government |
