Flag Day Housemartins
Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin1 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 jumble2 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

义卖日 笼中鸟合唱团
翡冷翠的南丁格尔太多
行侠仗义的罗宾汉却太少
光环太多，英雄太少
无法和义行相提并论
于是，你想改变这个世界
决定举办一场义卖会
为穷人而办的义卖
这简直是浪费时间，如果你明白背后的意义
就像试图在英国女王面前摇晃捐献箱
只因为她的荷包满满，几乎撑破缝线
这简直是浪费时间，如果你明白背后的意义
太多的手插在太多的口袋里
真心伸出援手的却太少
要准备的太多，忙不过来
在义卖日开始以前
于是，你希望看到穷苦的人们得到照顾
挥动启航的蓝旗大声疾呼
为那些穷苦的人们
这简直是浪费时间，如果你明白背后的意义
就像试图在英国女王面前摇晃捐献箱
只因为她的荷包满满，几乎撑破缝线
这简直是浪费时间，如果你明白背后的意义
义卖日..........

Flag Day，类似慈善园游会，会场当天通常会插满五颜六色的旗子，故称做Flag Day。
