An Englishman In New York (Full-Length Album Version) - Godley & Creme (10cc)

This is my attempt to "fill a much needed void" by compiling my favorite parts of the three pre-existing videos for the edited (single) version of this classic track.

Devoted collectors of paraphernalia out walking the rock,

Battle and bitch for the ultimate kitsch of a crucifix clock,

Two miniature Romans running on rails,

Appear every hour to bang in the nails,

I’ve got to have it, Christ, I gotta to be the first on our block.

Oh, to be able to write words like these!

these guys were always the thinking persons pop stars - here and with 10cc. This is a wicked song in every sense: wonderfully cynical and funny.

@zzzxxyy Now there's a thought. Bloody 'ell

If only Frank Zappa had these guys in his band...Wait! They would have been the ultimate power trio!!!!

great editing job, although I missed the part in one of the videos where the heads in the horn section spin around. I wonder if the "robot band" was based on the cult film "The Abominable Dr Phibes" and his clockwork orchestra? Anybody know?

My Son is now an Englishman in Lincoln Nebraska. But I gues that's close enough. Always loved this song, thanks for this version Joey

[Staziish]
