[Chorus:] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I was an English boy yes I was I was an English boy (repeat 7 times)
