Englishman In New York/Sting1988 UK

 

 

 

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I'm an Englishman in New York

 

See me walking down Fifth Avenue 

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I'm an Englishman in New York

 

*I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

 

If "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

 

Repeat* 

 

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Geltleness,  sobriety  are rare in this society

At night a candle's brighter than the sun

 

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

 

If "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

 

Repeat *
