STING

Englishman in New York

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 make the man",
As someone said,
He's a hero of the day.
It takes a man to suffer
Ignorence 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 you enemies,
avoid them when you, can
A gentleman will walk
but never run

If "manners make the man"...
