Foreign

354/365 - 35/52

 

 

 

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

 

Just a quick shot for last weeks theme as i am playing catch up again and have to get ready as i have loads to do, only one day off in the last two weeks! I hate rushing my photos as i think this is crap!

Anyhoo i thought this would be appropriate for the theme. I think it doesnt matter how much true blooded you think you might be as if you go back far enough in your history you will find that your family have some direct link to another country or continent that you never thought of. If you think about it, we must have all been related if you go back further than your mind can grasp, shocking thought really! :P Anyway im proud to have all these nationalities in my blood, are you?

Now i'm off to do more work and try and come up with a way to do my Stars theme justice to what i have in my head, heres hoping. Catch you soon guys and gals! :)
