Текст песни Englishman In New York - Neri per Caso

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

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side
And 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

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
Be yourself no matter what they say
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
