Admiral Fallow - Guest of the Government download song

Lyrics

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 trap 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
