National Treasure

Lyrics

[Intro] Our country drags heels And always they scuff Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes [Verse 1] Man had a friend, a not-so-close friend He visited most every day And brought him his shopping, come rain or shine And blew those cobwebs away A single cigarette, a 50p bet An old-fashioned hug for good measure It's visiting time, like caviar and wine That person's national treasure [Chorus] Our country drags heels And always they scuff Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes They gaze into navels Removing the fluff Every place on this еarth, they celebratе heroes [Verse 2] Doctor Who home-visits patients 24 hours, round the clock The volunteers working in shelter They stay on their feet till they drop Nothing'd be fairer than silence of carer We're forfeiting personal pleasure Unknighted, unsung, on ladder's bottom rung But all of them national treasures [Chorus] Our country drags heels And always they scuff Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes They gaze into navels Removing the fluff Every place on this earth, they celebrate heroes [Bridge] She don't wear a Rolex, she don't wear a cape She certainly don't drive a Mark III He's driving a bus, he's just one of us He's them, she's you, and he's me [Chorus] Our country drags heels And always they scuff Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes They gaze into navels Removing the fluff Every place on this earth, they celebrate heroes
