The Divine Comedy
The Parley - Flint’s Apology
Young man, please listen to me
I've got something I must say
I've treated you so badly
Please don't treat me the same way
Do you think that you could forgive
A very foolish man
I questioned your integrity
Ignored all that you said to me
I'm sorry, and I beg to be forgiven
Please shake hands
Yes, alright
Parley, parley
Maybe we can talk this through
With a parley, a parley
Talk with me, I'll talk with you
And sorry to, to all your crew
For my false accusations
I should've known it was my own
Rebellious relations
Apology accepted, yes
Oh Flinty gets my vote
Well, yes, but you've been horrid
And we should've sunk your boat
Parley, parley
Maybe we can talk this through
With a parley, a parley
Talk with me, I'll talk with you
And we're a little sorry too
For throwing that firecracker
Yes, did it burn the whole way through?
Not quite, it doesn't matter
I dare say I deserved it
For ignoring you all summer
And by crikey when I heard a bang
I thought I was a goner, haha
Parley, parley
Maybe we can talk this through
With a parley, a parley
Talk with me, I'll talk with you
Now how about a desperate war
With lost of bloody fighting
The robbers took your silly book
So no more silly writing
But we've been told we have to leave
They think it's all our doing
No, but that would be a tragedy
Imagine just how sad you'd be
I can't believe you have to leave
Oh everything is ruined
Parley, parley
Surely we can talk this through
With a parley, a parley
There must be something that we can do
