A typical Englishman, distinquished, high esteem, upper class, can feel quite out of place when positioned in New York, which is high speed, high energy, fast, and a bit brutal.
The formal definition of a legal alien is:
"An alien who is legally permitted to remain in a country which is foreign to him or her. On specified terms, this kind of alien may be called a legal alien of that country."

Other countries don't necessarily use the term "alien" at all, but have their own terminology and distinctions.

I must disagree that it means you do not "fit in." Many citizens of a place do not feel they fit in, and many legal aliens are well assimilated in our society, with friends, business contacts, kids, and so on.
That may be what Sting means in his song, but it is not an accurate definition.
I like this answer a lot.
I kind of knew the answer before I posted the question but wanted to see what other Mahaloians thought and this answer has made my post worthwhile.
The formal definition states 'which is foreign to him'. He might assimilate to this, but in essence, it is still foreign. As soon as an Englishman assimilates to the New Yorker way of life, he is in essence no longer an Englishman, he is an assimilated New Yorker.
