Sting - Englishman In New York

if manners maketh man as someone said

then hes the hero of the day

it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

be yourself no matter what they say

modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

you could end up as the only one

gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

at night a candles 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 hes 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

(be yourself no matter what they say 9x)

whoaa im an alien

im a legal alien

im an englishman in new york 4x
