Admiral Fallow - Guest Of The Government 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 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 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 - it's the eager barflies 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 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
