Words & music by steven page

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 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.
