Special thanks of course to Sting for the lyrics, I'll use them as my temporary introduction to myself and life here, New York and Suwon are quite similar it seems.
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my beer a little warm
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
See me walking down Park Ji Sung Avenue
A big umbrella here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
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 Suwon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
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 military service to make a man
Takes more than soju for some fun
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 Suwon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in Suwon
