Flag day　　Housemartins

Flag day　　Housemartins

Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin Hoods
Too many halos not enough heroes
Coming up with the goods

So you though you'd like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Too many hands in too many pockets
Not enough hands on hearts
Too many ready to call it a day
Before the day starts

So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Got blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor, for the poor

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Flag day, Flag day, Flag day

義賣日　　籠中鳥合唱團

翡冷翠的南丁格爾太多
行俠仗義的羅賓漢卻太少
光環太多，英雄太少
無法和義行相提並論

於是，你想改變這個世界
決定舉辦一場義賣會
為窮人而辦的義賣

這簡直是浪費時間，如果你明白背後的意義
就像試圖在英國女王面前搖晃捐獻箱
只因為她的荷包滿滿，幾乎撐破縫線
這簡直是浪費時間，如果你明白背後的意義

太多的手插在太多的口袋裡
真心伸出援手的卻太少
要準備的太多，忙不過來
在義賣日開始以前

於是，你希望看到窮苦的人們得到照顧
揮動啟航的藍旗大聲疾呼
為那些窮苦的人們

這簡直是浪費時間，如果你明白背後的意義
就像試圖在英國女王面前搖晃捐獻箱
只因為她的荷包滿滿，幾乎撐破縫線
這簡直是浪費時間，如果你明白背後的意義

義賣日..........

Flag day，類似慈善園遊會，會場當天通常會插滿五顏六色的旗子，故稱做 Flag day。
