Englishman in New York Ep.II

Before leaving after tonight's shift, I decided to check my other Yahoo IM. The one I saved here in my blogger account. Surprisingly, I got a number of off line messages from my colleagues at work. But one strikes me the most was from someone who was asking for another link for my previous blog entry about Bamboo's version of Englishman in New York. This someone's IM address was mucho31s ( i guess). Funny, but this someone addressed me as Sir instead of Ma'am... ahahahha...

It;s no big deal actually. I just wanna thank this someone (I don't wanna address him as mucho31s because it may not be the right IM address) coz he was able to inform me that there's something wrong with the link in entry.. :)

Hopefully, he could stumble upon my blog again to find this new link of my multiply account that I'll be giving. Here it is:

Englishman in New York

Englishman in New York was originally sang by Sting and its the song I'm so into right now. Here's Bamboo's version of this cool song. Listen here.

Englishman In New York
Bamboo

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

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

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
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

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
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
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
