The First Of The Fallen

He died for his country
The first of the fallen
From Operation Raise The Colours

The tributes came pouring in
From football hooligans
And casual sisters and brothers

Banned for life from Bristol City
Now he’s banned in Bristol City from life
He leaves behind Michele, his wife
He leaves his ladders to the flag committee

His life was colourful, it’s said
Like the roundabouts he painted red
And the thoughts rushing through his head
With the pavement straight ahead

He died for his country
The first of the fallen
From Operation Raise The Colours

My advice: don’t hang the flags at all
But if you do, get some footed help from others
