We'll Spend Elsewhere

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro] A red flower on a coat, a choice made with care We remember the fallen; we carry them there [Verse 1] Small paper petals, pinned close to the heart A promise to remember, not a badge for a part Names carved in stone, families still feel the cost A quiet mark for the lives and the futures they lost Then word comes down: that symbol can’t stay At the door, told to remove it or walk away No room for respect? Then the room isn’t ours We’ll take our custom elsewhere, take our voice to the bars [Chorus] We won’t spend there, we won’t drink there If remembrance is refused at the door We’ll stand together, take our trade elsewhere And say what the poppy is for For the fallen, for the families, for the ones who came home For the ones whose names we still carry alone We won’t spend there, let the whole town know Respect isn’t too much to show [Verse 2] No threat, no trouble, no cause to divide Just a flower for the lives that were given in time You can disagree, still make space for the sign There’s a difference between welcome and drawing a line So we’ll choose local places that honour the day Tell our mates why we’re taking our custom away Keep it calm, keep it clear, let the message ring true A boycott speaks loud when the people come through [Chorus] We won’t spend there, we won’t drink there If remembrance is refused at the door We’ll stand together, take our trade elsewhere And say what the poppy is for For the fallen, for the families, for the ones who came home For the ones whose names we still carry alone We won’t spend there, let the whole town know Respect isn’t too much to show [Bridge] Not for a fight, not for a scene Just a line we won’t cross, and a choice we keep clean A flower, a memory, a promise held fast We honour the dead by refusing to pass [Final Chorus] We won’t spend there, we won’t drink there If remembrance is refused at the door We’ll stand together, take our trade elsewhere And say what the poppy is for For the fallen, for the families, for the ones who came home For the ones whose names we still carry alone We won’t spend there, let the whole town know Respect isn’t too much to show [Outro] A red flower on a coat, held with care We remember the fallen. We’ll spend elsewhere.
