Englishman in new york

by Sting

lyricscopy.com
I don´t drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the 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

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

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 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

I´m an alien
I´m a legal alien
I´m an Englishman in New York
