RECORDED IN HD! Music by Sting performing Englishman In New York. (C) 1987 A&M Records #Sting #EnglishmanInNewYork #Remastered #Vevo #Rock #OfficialMusicVideo Sting wrote the song about the famous eccentric and gay icon Quentin Crisp, who is the "Englishman" of the title. The song was composed not long after Crisp had moved from London to an apartment in the Bowery in Manhattan. Sting had met him and Crisp remarked jokingly to the musician that he "looked forward to receiving his naturalisation papers so that I can commit a crime and not be deported." When Sting asked him what kind of crime, he answered, "Something glamorous, non-violent, with a dash of style. Crime is so rarely glamorous these days." Sting included this story in the liner notes of his album ...Nothing Like The Sun. Thorens TD 125 MK2 Denon DL 103 Audiosilente Boron Cantilever with Nude Shibata Project Tube Box DS2
