"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 ❤
In these tough times being pushed away just for existing, grifters being confused for heroes, powerful people ignoring the plight of the little man, this song is even more relevant than when it was released.
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.
Sting reminds me of Mcartney and Collins, all 3 belonged to a supergroup, all 3 are super talented and all had amazing solo careers, Sting had a bunch of Awesome songs solo.
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.

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 yeah,,,,,,,, I listened to the lyrics. can you imagine if someone else(s) was singing this song today (2023) in New York. Jus' Sayin'...........
a small note: The bridge here is the key change with the "society...notoriety" lyrics. the big-beat part is a (somewhat rare) "middle 4" break. The more common "middle 8" is distinct from a bridge in that a bridge is always connecting of a chorus to a verse. However contrasting it's melodic/harmonic content may be, the bridge is usually in the same meter/feel and timbre as the verses and choruses (here the sax lead following the bridge is inhabiting what is essentially a verse without a vocal) vs the changes in instrumentation and feel exhibited in the break of a "middle x" section. /nerd-out, c h e e r s

Real music. English people have done the world a huge favor by giving us the English language as a base for the world. Imagine there was none, like a barrier, French is common world wide but it’s harder than English simple as that but more beautiful along with Portuegese. UK people need to focus more on Art because USA is ready for another Beatles type. Same language across the ocean but different lifestyles and culture would surely create 2 diverse musical empires. They went from having the best Navy to the best Musicians after the War.
I forgot my cain at my side last time walking down 5th avenue 🙃 I'll make sure I have bowler hat next time as well so I can stand out as an Englishman, that aside I love you sting I'm from and walked in fields of gold❤
No, no! you are an EXPAT!!!! remember that. Just like our friends who were born in United States call themselves in Mexico. For godsake, THEY ARE INMIGRANTS. THEY ARE ALIENS, AND SOON THEY WILL BE ILLEGAL ALIENS TOO, if a civil war breaks lose in USA...
Recently, the video game-music-remixing/covering UA-camr known as TheLegendOfRenegade introduced me to this song with his wonderful, CPS3-style remix/cover of it: ua-cam.com/video/Sm0fkMNz6eA/v-deo.html

@@Peter-ff1tp . Cool, we have a connoisseur❣️🎷👌🏽
No rock , jazz song
I met Sting at Chateau Marmont and told him this was my favorite song by him as my favorite artist. God Bless.
What did he say in reply? Was he dwn to earth as a person?
It's like sailing away, with the perfect story...
“Whoah, I’m a alien, I’m a legal alien, I’m an Englishman in New York”🎵🎶
Wonderful song Sting❤
The line is I'm a legal alien.
@@AresGodofWar oh, gotcha, thank you. 🙏🏻
Back in the 90s, I remember playing this to CD death. Still a classic!

Woah!
And if the younger generation doesn't know, don't mock them. Teach them.
Yes.
Just yes!
Una canción perfectamente elegante. 🥂
His voice and those instruments and the lyrics are very important to stay and put a mark in your mind
Tom Aspinall is our Englishman in New York this week.

@@lrb05_ my Man I knew he was going to win as soon as I heard the song come on in the walkout
@@sirteabag8652he walked out to this!!
@@Jakecanskate I was buzzing when I heard the song come on dude! Such a special song for a special night.
@@sirteabag8652true!
A great song and the saxophone comes in fantastic along with the instruments 🎷🎹🎹🎹🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
Sting is a brilliant composer
@@tat3998 he most certainly is and I love all of his music 🎶❤️
@@louismatassa8489 me too
Be yourself No matter what they say
A timeless song!
The best moments
Amo esta canción. Saludos desde Chile.
"I don't drink coffee, I take beer, my dear"
Great lyrics and music A Sting masterpiece
To Tom Aspinall, the future undisputed champ
Splendid song ♥️
"Takes more than combat gear to make a man/Takes more than a license for a gun." These lyrics are so sadly relevant today.
Very nice song
Thank you for some truly decent audio!
Sting the OG king of the Trap he dissed the whole Manhattan society 😆

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)

Quoi dire ...... c'est le son est la musique de Winston et Sting de mon époque au cégep de Valleyfield en arts . 😢😢😢😢😢

Today that's really me 😂
Roughness maketh man, as someone said
He's the rude boy of the day
Confront your enemies, outsmart them if you can
But if all else fails, you better run
is that a jojo reference
The Beatles wrote some dynamite lyrics, but they've got nothing on this song. Deep lyrics.
I'm an Englishman in Iowa. That's not quite as romantic! Always think of this song anyway. 😉
That drum break at 2:30 though. What? I wonder if Sting wishes he had that one back.
