Sing songs

And the award for the funniest song lyrics of the month goes to 'that song I heard shopping in a Korean mart', it has officially beaten the lyrics of 'Deep Breath Deep Breath' by Lotus Juice, which went something like:

On a Sunday morning I touched the sky
Next morning I touched your heart

That escalated quickly much? First you touched the sky, then you touched my heart, like how?? Presuming you were high on Sunday morning then you murdered me the next day. Anyway, the bands' name is Lotus Juice so yeah.

So this song from the Korean mart actually won over those lyrics, and went more like this:

I'm an alien I'm illegal alien
I'm an Englishman in Tokyo.

First off, why isn't he getting arrested? He's an illegal immigrant clearly, and Japan is super strict with visas. Second, the word alien just sounds really funny although it is a legit way of using it, sounds like Engrish but it's not.

I google the song for the lolz, and found out it's a song by Sting. STING U WORLD FEHMES Y U SING THIS KIND OF SONG??! And the actual lyrics goes like:

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

So that solves the issue, he's not illegal and he's got a valid passport. And he's nowhere near Japan either. But an Englishman in New York isn't as much an alien compared to an Englishman in Tokyo fyi. You still speak English and everything's in English, Y U THINK U ALIEN??

To end how I feel about weird song lyrics, there's only one song lyric that can describe it - Killing me softly. Haha.
