Englishman In New York — текст песни (Sting & Police)

I don`t drink coffee I`ll take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
As 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 maketh 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 maketh 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
