Sting - Englishman In New York (1 komentārs)

I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear,
I like my toast done on one side,
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.

Whooo-o!
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien,
I'm an Englishman in New York.

If manners maketh man as someone said
(he's the hero of a day),
it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.

Be yourself! No matter what they say.

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.
