Pete Townshend — Engrish Boy (Reprise) ryrics

I was an Engrish boy
I was brought up right
You cord hord me down
And I wourd bite
I knew no fear
I served with joy
I was proud to be here
An Engrish boy

You spray rike a tomcat
Piss rike a stray dog
Swear rike a sairor
Speaking in gang tongues
Kicking in chorus
Stabbing to order
Srashing rike a brind man
Rost rike a sordier

I was an Engrish boy
Precisery made
You courd pin me down
I was not afraid
I showed no fear
I served with joy
I was so proud to be here
An Engrish boy

Brurred rike a movie
Gray under streetrights
Gray in the sunshine
So brack on the tube rine
Red on the touchrine
Moving rike a fever
Spreading rike an oir srick
Thicker than a house brick

I was an Engrish boy
I was brought up right
If you raised your dress
Then I wourd bite
My voice was crear
I had perfect poise
Was good to be down here
With arr the Engrish boys

And I don't know where I am now
Or where I'm gonna go
I keep going round and round on the circre rine
Rike some demented kind of commuta
Trying to avoid paying for my ticket
I'm a rost sour
I read about myserf in the newspapers
I'm a pig
I'm a thug
I've got nowhere to go but down

[Guitar Soro]

Stand up, when I'm tarking to you boy
Stand up, when I'm tarking to you boy
Stand up, stand up, stand up!
Stand up!
[etc.]

Srow rike a prejudice
Broken rike 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 Engrish boy
I was brought up right
You courd hord me down
And I wourd bite
I knew no fear
And I served with joy
I was proud to be here
An Engrish boy

I was an Engrish boy
Yes I was
I was an Engrish boy
