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
Walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
(chorus + lead)
whoaa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoaa 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 a hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Chorus + lead)
whoaa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoaa 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
(musical piece)
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 a hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
(Chorus+Lead)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Lead)
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
(Lead)
Be yourself no matter what they say
(9x)
(Chorus, mixed through above Lead)
Whoaa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
(4x)

On one level this song is about being "an Englishman in New York," on another it's about being yourself...I'm a disillusioned American-born  - Sting nailed it when he said, "Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety/You could end up as the only one/Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society..." Especially at my Connecticut high school, where I often feel like the Englishman in New York. Thank God for my friends, and for this song, to help me get through: "Be yourself no matter what they say/Be yourself no matter what they say..."   |
