水仙花

Lyrics:Sting Music:Sting










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

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 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

這首歌，我以前很愛放，
至於原因，悟性高的馬上就會知曉。
(笑)
(或說是只要我碰到那個原因，
 我就會想放)

會想去找出來這首歌也是因為明琲，
那時候看了她的"太陽雨"，
因為裡面的劇情內容，
讓我很想要聽這首歌。

這就是那時候湘筠找給我的^^"
(有沒有覺得時代悠久?)(笑)
(大家一起分享看太陽雨的時候是在我們高三的時候吧！
 還記得為了這本書讓我好想要走建築系....
 只可惜，已經來不及哩！
 還有，我的畫圖功力很具深意(默))

其實我現在還是很喜歡這首歌^^"
(也是因為這首歌，所以，我開始聽史汀的歌哩^^")

其實，很想放一些我最近常聽的歌的歌詞，
但是，發現都太多愛情歌哩@@"

明明旋律我喜歡的，
有一些看歌詞還好@@"
都是要加上那個旋律才會充滿味道.....

真可惜
