"If manners maketh man as someone said, he's the hero of the day, takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile, be yourself no matter what they say..." These lyrics are always in my heart. Every Day. All day. Thanks STING ❤

Back in the 90s, I remember playing this to CD death. Still a classic!

I remember being on my first trip to new york in 1981, i was in the Merchant Navy, and we went to pier42 manhattan for Dole Fresh Fruit co The pier now long gone.
I was an Englishman in New York, im from Liverpool England.

I met Sting at Chateau Marmont and told him this was my favorite song by him as my favorite artist. God Bless.

I forgot just how insanely slick that sax was. As someone who loves a bit of jazz dashed in with her rock, this definitely makes my day. Plus, funnily enough, people always consider me a 'Englishwoman' even though technically I'm Southern.

It's like sailing away, with the perfect story...

[blujaygirl]

His voice and those instruments and the lyrics are very important to stay and put a mark in your mind

[estlhm]

Still remember this song being stationed in another country in the military. These words still ring true be yourself no matter what they say. Especially in this social media era.

That drum break at 2:30 though. What? I wonder if Sting wishes he had that one back.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

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

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

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

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

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

Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say

I remember this song. never paid much attention to the words, the beat got me except for the bridge. after the bridge it offers some interesting complicated ryhthmn then it smooths out. oh I listened to the lyrics. can you imagine if someone else(s) was singing this song today (2023) in New York. Jus'

"Takes more than combat gear to make a man/Takes more than a license for a gun." These lyrics are so sadly relevant today.
