The English Way (Live from The Old Chapel)

from Live from The Old Chapel by Fast Trains

lyrics

I came to England
I came to study in this hallowed place
But I discovered
A hidden darkness running through the grace

All the men they won't talk
Let the world give chase
They just suffer inside
Scared of losing face

I found the English way
Shrug it off, brush it over

Gotta be a man now
Stiff upper lip is what their fathers say
All these emotions
Pushed down inside for another day

A silent killer roams the streets
Picking off easy prey
You've got to learn how to speak
These troubles won't go away

I found the English way
Shrug it off, brush it over

Your friends and family want to help you, boy
We're all here when you want to talk

I found the English way
Shrug it off, brush it over
