lirik lagu the passage (uk) - flag night
they must be hung in a certain order
set in line in a certain order
and if that order is incorrect
it could all fall apart
the whole display would be wrecked
parading emblems is an art
and that order is:
raw sienna
ultramarine
prussian blue
vermillion deep
signal red
permanent rose
cassel earth preceding indigo
burnt umber
alizarin
ivory black
cinnabar green
use only the sort that soaks up the light
we don’t want the type that shows up the dirt, you know
white
black out the
white
it’s wrong is
white
not a sign of thе times
you must take care in thе way they’re lowered
take greatest care in the way they’re lowered
they’re not just banners, they stand for pride
the signs of status and alliance
measure carefully their height
unfurling pennants is a science
the formula is:
dark vienna
cobalt shade
autumn brown
payne cool grey
deep madder
ice blue
poppy red then crimson hue
mars black
hooker’s green
flesh tint ochre
chrome cerise
use only the sort that soaks up the light
we don’t want the type that shows up the dirt, you know
white
it’s yards too bright
white
it’s a devil of a colour
white
not a sign of the times
perhaps you’ve not worked out what lies behind it
it helps to understand what lies behind it
it’s not just pomp, it’s not simply circumstance
emblems tell you what you are
thanks to flags you know where you stand
you’re dressed to k!ll in coats of arms
be dead precise:
hang them exactly (don’t be boring)
(don’t be drab)
at half mast (climb a pole and)
(hang a flag)
and black out the white
