Sting - Englishman In New York Lyrics






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

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

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, 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
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say...

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

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

Sting Englishman In New York Comments
  1. M.... ....

    Walking in the streets. Amazing idea to carry an umbrella, becouse every scene is probably done like 5 times at least, so becouse of an umbrella you can't see the people constantly changing in the back just a second after the last scene. That would make sence.

    D.... H....

    @Deep Heat before or after the trade for Suriname ?

    D.... H....

    @joey zandbergen

    Probably after but the bottom line is America & the world speaks English not Dutch!

    D.... H....

    @Deep Heat I heard a story, not confirmed that America once had a election to choose between English or Dutch. English won. But only by 2 procent more votes

    D.... H....

    @joey zandbergen

    Well I think on balance & our military might at that time that might have been a vote we were never going to lose?

    I did hear somewhere once that America came very close to speaking German but that might have been Dutch. The French had a big involvement there as did the Spanish.
