Gimme a country that's red white and blue
Gimme the British way honest and true
Gimme the chance to be one of the few
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme a nation where people are free
Free to do and free to be
Free to screw you before you screw me
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
(Chorus:)
Cos, I'm all right, I'm all right
Union Jack, fly the flag
Gimme a Britain that's got back the Great
a race of winners not cramped by the State
And only the helpless get left at the gate
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
The song "Fly the flag" on Fingers' second album,"Nobodys heoes" is a classic but the lyric is clearly open to misinterpretation.It is an attack on right-wing Conservative politics in general and on Margaret Thatcher(then British prime minister) in particular.The selfish "me" politics of the eighties is conveyed in the "gimme gimme gimme" refrain.
