Sting - Englishman in New York

Nov 8, 2008 - Quentin Crisp is the gentleman's name. The story of his life as the persecuted homosexual was famously played by John Hurt in the 'Naked Civil Servant.'Sting based the lyrics on Crisp after having met him and interviewed him about his former life and experiences in England.

Nov 14, 2008 - Uhm, William Hurt?Always draw a blank on that first name myself. God bless Google. Decent spot tho. Not overly "dead on" but it was close enough to get me chucklin'. tks, ole chapUsed to listen to this CD going into work late on royally pretty afternoons in New England. And drivin home. Yeah. Drivin by the light of a full moon with headlights off more than a few times during those years. Boys and girls. They now got equipment to detect such lunacy. Be sober if you attempt it. Peace.

Nov 15, 2008 - Well, it was either him or Alec Guiness!Heard about the Dunblane shootings and listened to this song. It's a serious message, which doesn't have to be adhered to solely in New York. It's easily empathiable, especially if, like me, you're an EnglishmanI've driven by the light of the full moon and it was better than my headlights, but then again, my car's actually older than I am, so there we go

BasingstokePSB Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - Well they must have done somehow, but in a more sublime way than now, because the concepts of right and wrong are suppressed when you're eating Auntie Vera's leg!

AuroraABC Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - BasingstokePSB, are you talking to me with this bizarre comment about "eating Auntie Vera's leg"? Because I got a notification in my mailbox that you were replying to me and I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Nov 18, 2008 - Reference to Auntie Vera's leg is reference to cannibalism (from a cartoon)I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time.It irritates me slightly that YouTube insist of posting comments in the mailbox, because I wouldn't go on YouTube if it wasn't to check what has occurred in my absenceSorry about that
