lyrics

[Verse 1]
I believe in my truth
I imagine is true
But I keep to myself
After all I'm British

[Verse 2]
I believe I'm human
I accept my limits
Navigate my foibles
After all I'm British

[Chorus v1]
If I sometime seem guarded
I can only apologise, please forgive
Is that old time politeness curse
It's as if obliged in my D.N.A.

[Verse 3]
I believe I'm sincere
Try to own my baggage
Never victim to blame
After all I'm British

[Chorus v2]
If I sometime seem humble
I can only apologise, please forgive
Is that old time politeness curse
It's as if obliged in my D.N.A.

[Instrumental + spoken word]
I say "hello"
You say "good morning"
I say "nice weather, what"
You say "s'a bit hot"
"one shouldn't complain" I say
"after you" You say
I say "no, after you"
You say "no, I insist"
You say "Thank you"
I say "sorry"
You say "sorry"

[Verse 4]
I refuse to submit
I refuse to impose
I agree to differ
After all I'm British

[Chorus v3]
If I sometime seem remiss
I can only apologise, please forgive
Is that old time politeness curse
It's as if obliged in my D.N.A.
