[00:21.38]The phone rings, it’s early, it’s seven o’clock
[00:25.80]He says “Sorry I woke you, but I just had to talk”
[00:30.50]You know last night, remember when I tried to choke you
[00:36.06]I didn’t mean it, I was drunk, it was only a joke
[00:40.93]You should know that by now
[00:45.86]When the chequered flag comes down
[00:51.82]No one, no one, no one has won the race
[01:07.05]The next night he’s over and over and under
[01:12.05]And after he’s finished she lies there and wonders
[01:17.18]Just why does she need him and why does she stay here?
[01:22.27]And then in the darkness she’ll quietly say “Dear”
[01:27.16]You’ve never really known
[01:31.87]That when the white flag is flown
[01:37.66]No one, no one, no one has won the war
[01:52.72]They’re complicated people leading complicated lives
[01:57.41]And he complicates their problems telling complicated lies
[02:02.85]He tells her he’s sorry, she tells him it’s over
[02:07.74]He tells her he’s sorry, she says over and over
[02:12.69]You’ve never really known
[02:17.75]That when the white flag is flown
[02:23.29]No one, no one, no one has won the war
[02:30.93]There goes a forest and there goes a bluebird
[02:36.08]There goes a partridge and there goes a go train
[02:41.03]There goes an angel and there goes a steeple
[02:46.08]There goes a cop car and there goes an eagle
[02:51.15]There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
[02:55.83]There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
[03:00.97]There goes a raven and there go the ribbons
[03:05.07]The ribbons the ribbons, the ribbons of the flag
[03:15.35]Of the flag
[03:20.46]Of the flag
[03:25.66]Of the flag
[03:32.35]…
