lirik lagu englishman in new york (my songs version) – sting
[verse 1]
i don’t drink coffee i take tea my dear
i like my toast done on one side
but you can hear it in my accent when i talk
i’m an englishman in new york
[verse 2]
you 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
[chorus]
whoa-oh
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa-oh
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
[pre-chorus]
if, “manners maketh man” as someone said
he’s the hero of the day
it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
be yourself no matter what they say
[chorus]
whoa-oh
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
whoa-oh
i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien
i’m an englishman in new york
[bridge]
modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
you could end up as the only one
gentleness, sobriety so rare in this society
at night a candle’s brighter than the sun
[instrumental interlude]
[verse 3]
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
[pre-chorus]
if, “manners maketh man” as someone said
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
[chorus]
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
(whoa-oh) be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an alien, i’m a legal alien)
be yourself no matter what they say
(i’m an englishman in new york)
