Englishman In New York

(专辑： Hello Like Before - 2014)

I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

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

Whoa, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, 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 the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself, no matter what they say

Whoa, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, 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 a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

Whoa, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Whoa, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Whoa, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an Englishman in New York
