Pete Townshend

English Boy (Reprise)
I was an English boy I was brought up right You cold hold me down And I would bite I knew no fear I served with joy I was proud to be here An English boy You spray like a tomcat Piss like a stray dog Swear like a sailor Speaking in gang tongues Kicking in chorus Stabbing to order Slashing like a blind man Lost like a soldier I was an English boy Precisely made You could pin me down I was not afraid I showed no fear I served with joy I was so proud to be here An English boy Letras de canciones Blurred like a movie Gray under streetlights Gray in the sunshine So black on the tube line Red on the touchline Moving like a fever Spreading like an oil slick Thicker than a house brick I was an English boy I was brought up right If you raised your dress Then I would bite My voice was clear I had perfect poise Was good to be down here With all the English boys And I don't know where I am now Or where I'm gonna go I keep going round and round on the circle line Like some demented kind of commuta Trying to avoid paying for my ticket I'm a lost soul I read about myself in the newspapers I'm a pig I'm a thug I've got nowhere to go but down [Guitar Solo] Stand up, when I'm talking to you boy Stand up, when I'm talking to you boy Stand up, stand up, stand up! Stand up! [etc.] Slow like a prejudice Broken like hatred Kicking at a dead man Cut pieces to pieces Marking your territory Freezing the future Stopping the stopwatch I am despairing I was an English boy I was brought up right You could hold me down And I would bite I knew no fear And I served with joy I was proud to be here An English boy I was an English boy Yes I was I was an English boy [7x] From Letras Mania
