Och well - seeing as I started this thread  8-)   "The Englishman in New
York" alien lyric I'm sure is done by Sting although whether he wrote it
or whether or not it appears on an album I have no idea.   I heard the
lyric through watching a car advert (for ?Rover cars?) where this guy is
sitting in his British (English) car listening to a cricket match on the
radio as if he's back in England although still in New York.

It's a sad life....

However I probably *did* mishear the lyric and is should correctly be
"I'm a legal alien - I'm an Englishman in New York"

cheers
