Sting ☆

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
I’m an alien I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
If manners make the 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 license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If manners make the 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
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
