Sting — Englishman in New York My Songs Version

[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)
