The Police Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU

I'VE CALLED YOU SO MAMY TIMES TODAY
AND I GUESS IT'S ALL TRUE WHAT YOUR GIRL FRIENDS SAY
THAT YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE ME AGAIN
AND YOUR BROTHER'S GOING TO KILL ME AND HE'S SIX FEET TEN
I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT COWARDICE
BUT I'M NOT PREPARED TO GO ON LIKE THIS

I CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU

I SEE YOU'VE SENT MY LETTERS BACK
AND MY LP RECORDS AND THEY'RE ALL SCRATCHED
I CAN'T SEE THE POINT IN ANOTHER DAY
WHEN NOBODY LISTENS TO A WORD I SAY
YOU CAN CALL IT LACK OF CONFIDENCE

I CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU

I GUESS TIS IS OUR LAST GOODBYE
AND YOU DON'T CARE SO I WON'T CRY
BUT YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN I'M DEAD
AND ALL THIS GUILT WILL BE ON YOUR HEAD
I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT SUICIDE
BUT I'M TOO FULL TO SWALLOW MY PRIDE

I CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU


2.De Do Do Do

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true


3.Synchronicity

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our rice crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we all know her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away
Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark
Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
Tha factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light
street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every so called meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy crips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away...


4.When The World Is Running Down

Lyricist:Sting

Turn on my VCR
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years
Old battery's runnin' down
It ran for years and years

Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go?
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An otis reddin' song
It's all I own

When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around

Plug in my MCI
To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone
I've listened here for years
No one to talk to me
I've listened here for years

When the world is runnin' down

You make the best of what's still around
When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around, whao

When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears
I run 'deep throat' again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat
The cans are runnin' out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat

When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is runnin' down
You make the best of what's still around, whao

Turn on my VCR
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car


5.Hungry For You (J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)

Rien de dormier cette nuit
Je veux de toi
Jusque'a' ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Comple'tement couvert de sueur
Nous nous noyons dans la mare'e
Je n'ai aucun de'sir
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et mois j'ai bu ton sang

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Tout le monde est a' moi
Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes
Et maintenant je m'en fous
C'e'tait gagne' trop facilement
Ca y est alors ma belle trai^tresse
Il faut que je bru^le de jalousie
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et moi j'ai bu ton sang

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi

No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you

Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi jusque'a' ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Comple'tement couvert de sueur


6.Don't Stand So Close To Me '86

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's no room
This girl's an open page
Book marking she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use
He sees her
He starts to shake he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabakov

Don't stand so close to me


7.Almost There

As their wings go dark - up against the sun
and their shadows pass - over everyone
and time unfolds - to a beating drum

I throw my clothes on a burning chair
I paint my eyes with the cold night air
the dreamer shouts - to an empty room

and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn

falling rain
in the end
there's a silence

and the TV set doesn't show the fall
the light is fast the world is small
and in the end there's a silence

and the sun will shine
and the rain will pour
we radiate for evermore
and the world will turn


8.Codeword Elvis

I'm 20 years old
At the moment, no job
My height is one eighteen
Green eyes and blond hair...
and sometimes I feel alone

I love action movies
I love racing sports
But my hero is Elvis

He's really my god
Do you like my hero?
Do you like rock n' roll?
Maybe sometimes feel lonely
Don't have a job
Please let me know

My codeword is great
Post Box Elvis
Five seven nine three eight
Post Box Elvis
Five seven nine three eight...
Post Box Elvis
Five seven nine three eight
Five seven nine three eight
Five seven nine three eight
Five
Seven
Nine
Three
Eight...

I am 20 years old
At the moment, no job
But my hero is Elvis
He's really my god


9.De Do Do Do (In Spanish)

No preguntes mas
Si este amor es verdad
Si es un sueno o realidad
O un simple viaje especial

Quiero que sepas que no miento
Quiero cantarte lo que siento

De do do do De da da da
Te digo con sinceridad
De do do do De da da da
Repito con honestidad
De do do do De da da da
Te busco con loca ansiedad
De do do do De da da da
Te quiero con velocidad

Tu me das el paraiso
En todo lo que yo presiso
persist
Con tus palabras me desliso
En un prufundo precipicio

Quiero que sepas que no miento
Quiero cantarte lo que siento

De do do do De da da da
Te digo con sinceridad
De do do do De da da da
Repito con honestidad
De do do do De da da da
Te busco con loca ansiedad
De do do do De da da da
Te quiero con velocidad

Whoa...
Quiero que sepas que no miento
Quiero cantarte lo que siento

De do do do De da da da
Te digo con sinceridad
De do do do De da da da
Repito con honestidad
De do do do De da da da
Te busco con loca ansiedad
De do do do De da da da
Te quiero con velocidad


10.Flashback

Here am I
Feel the sky
Never been so high

Here I am (please...deny...)
Here I am
So high
Eeeeee...


11.Fourpenny Bus Ride

In...an age...when peeeeeople say,...'I...can't face...another
day.'

A fourpenny bus ride can take
one hour away
out of his life
'Cause Johnny's a worker;
he works from nine to five
and home to the wife

From his boring day
he is far away...

The same little bus ride
provides him with a way
to face his day
From Tooting to Chiswick,
his mind is free to roam
far from his home

In the land of smiles
he rides for miles and miles...

He looks out the window
and dreams of days in the past
he knew wouldn't last
The standing conductor is there,
asks him for his fare
and gives him a stare

Millions every day
have to get away...

So take a fourpenny bus ride to where
people don't stare
or get in your hair
There' a million and one things to be
when you learn how
to be free

Living day to day,
each must find his way...


12.Four Firemen

Four firemen scrambled aboard their engine
and raced five miles,
blue and amber lights flashing
Emergency call from the army
But a surprise...
was waiting when they got there
The bathroom of the sergeant's mess
was covered with water (covered with water)
Their orders were to mop it up
and put it in order (put it in order)

The friends of the army fire brigade
came out in sympathy
We didn't join to mop the floors
or right the IMP...
They still had to do their jobs
and throw the book at you
You can't believe it's true

On questioned why they refused to do it,
they each replied,
'This is how I see it.'
The first one to answer was Henry
'I could work.' The others felt the same way
They all agreed it wasn't fair
We shouldn't be made to (shouldn't be made to)
It really is the principle
We should remain true to (should remain true to)

They fought through two world wars, you see,
with hand and tooth and fist
Now William said he'd never stand
for treatment such as this...
They still had to lose their jobs
and now they've been suspended
(The story isn't ended) The story isn't ended


13.Frame of Mind

Oh, let us adore him
We need his sacrifice
Oh, let us adore him
We need all he has
We need him to help
We need all he has
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
We need our God
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
Let me reach for him
for we are his
Oh, please let me hold him
He wept for his kingdom

Oh, let us adore him
We need his sacrifice
We need all he has, o God
Let him heal us


14.Gemini/The Madman

Sometimes I'm old
Sometimes I'm smiling
I'm ever-changing,
Turning like the sky

Sometimes I'm young
Sometimes I frown


Well, sometimes I'm bold
Sometimes I'm shy
I never seem
To compromise
I'm always there
And I always try
And if one can tell...
Aaaaa...


that I'm a Gemini...


'Cause I'm a Gemini (Gemini), yeah
You know that I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
But I, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Yes, now I'm a Gemini (Gemini)


I have two sides,one dark and one light
One is white
And they're as different
As day or night

I've got two minds,baby. One is black and


Well, I love today
But I hate tomorrow
I don't spend time;
I only borrow
Don't blame me
For the way things are
Because I can't control...


what is in the stars...


'Cause I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Don't you know that I'm a Gemimi? (Gemini) Hey,
You've got to believe a Gemini (Gemini) Yes


then there are three sides.

Gemini Gemini Gemini Gemini Gemini
Gemini Gemini Gemini Gemini Gemini
Day and night
Wrong and right
Day and night
Wrong and right
Day and night
Wrong and right
Day and night
Day and night
Day and night


I have two sides,one dark and one light
One is white
And they're a different
As day or night

Well, I got two minds, baby, one is black and


Well, I love today
Gut I hate tomorrow
I don't spend time;
I only borrow
Don't blame me
For the way things are
Because I can't control...
Aaaa...


what is in the stars...


'Cause I'm a Gemini. (Gemini) Yes, I am
Don't you know that I'm a Gemini? (Gemini) Yeah
Oh, yes, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Do you believe that I'm a Gemini? (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)

Two face

[Exactly the same as 'The Madman Running Through the Fields',
except 'There is a way out' is changed to 'Is there a way out?'
and 'Time has gone by' to 'Time has gone blind'.]


You ask me how


15.Guerilla

I'm on the rrrrun
From the gun
Of a bum


16.Heaven (Never Seemed So Far Away)

Good friends and I'm a stranger
So hard to circulate
Crowded streets, I see no faces
No place for a changing soul
Like a ship on an angry ocean
Ferris wheel that spins too fast
For a dog, snarling in a corner
Heaven never seemed so far away

Maybe the game is someone else's
Too tired to play along
Go on your way takin' chances
Your way is yours alone
For an artist in a hungry basement
Or a rain on a lonely man
Or a kid, fightin' with his father
Heaven never seemed so far away

Good friends and I'm a stranger
So hard to circulate
Crowded streets, I see no faces
No place for a changing soul
Like a ship on an angry ocean
Ferris wheel that spins too fast
For a dog, snarling in a corner
Heaven never seemed so far away


17.High-Flying Bird (An Ode To San Francisco)

Four thousand people with flowers in their hair
Walking around, just feeling the air
People who looking for a new world
Can't understand that it's here
Can you imagine a world without love?
No distant star or sky up above,
No one to hold when the night becomes cold,
No one with whom to grow old

People just moving to sight and sound
After this life, they're eternity-bound
You must believe, or you will find
You will be left far behind
San Francisco is losing its hate,
And all the love flows out through the Golden Gate
Into the ocean that flows 'round the world,
Hoping it's never too late

Love is like a flying bird
Love is like a bird

Love is like a bird
Love is like a bird
It must be allowed to flow free
And fly away
It must be allowed to fly free
Never put your love in a cage or it will die


18.How Insensitive (Insensatez)

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say
When a love affair is over

Now she's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in her last look
How she must have asked,
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one say
When a love affair is over


19.If You There

Your beauty pulses like a distant star
Once you were so near to me and now you've gone so far
Wretched and asphyxed the word is in his stone
(Rigid and as fixed, the words, as any stone?)
Lying now - no move, nor speak no statue here alone
(Lying now, don't move or speak ... alone?)
Living here just with a memory
A simple recollection that's so dear to me
You said it's logical that we should part
What's pleasing to my intellect, must surely break my heart

Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shovel on his grave

Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why

If you there
Would you leave me wondering
If you there
I am one man under (I am one man only?)
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there

You say that all we have is what we see
Baby, all you understand is a little part of me
You said that I could never be the one
Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun
If the only certain thing is death
Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath
And if this time must wear a velvet glove
Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love

21.I'm Dying, or Am I?

I've got that slipping feeling
When I know the lights go out
I know I should not do things,
But I really must work out
Really must work out
Really must work out
Really must work out

Got that slipping feeling
I know the lights go out
Know I should not do things
Really must work out
Really must work out
Really must work out
Really must work out


It's a chemical reaction
To state your piece of mind (ooo...)
God knows I'm dying,
But he
Can't keep up


With my mind


There are many people like me
On this manufactured train,
Trying to satisfy people
When you know they've got to win
Know they've got to win
Know they've got to win
Know they've got to win

Many people like me
Manufactured train
Trying to satisfy people
Know they've got to win
Know they've got to win
Know they've got to win
Know they've got to win


One can only hope
One day the sun will shine (ooo...)
God knows I'm dying,
But he
Can't keep up


With my mind


They told me I'd be dying
at the temple I was living,
but even when you're dying,
the search we join is giving giving giving giving...


Sometimes I sit and wonder,
'You know, what if we'll be wrong?'
While we sit here talking,
Only adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom

Sometimes I sit and wonder,
'What is in your room?'
While we sit here talking
Adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom
Adding to the gloom


Then I see the wonder
As the sky bursts into flame (ooo...)
God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying
And God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying


22.I Shall Be Released

They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near,
So I remember every face
Of everyman who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting out so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.


23.It's My Life

It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags,
I'll wear sable some day
So hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time Sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
Ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
But baby remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
Aaaah..Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
It ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
And baby,(baby)
Remember,(ember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong,
Hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine


24.The Madman Running Through the Fields

You ask me how
I've become mad now
There was a day,
I had so much say
What of my feet?
Life seemed to be sweet
I was admired
but I was so tired

Go through the dam
Lion and lamb
Know what you're sayin'?
Know what you're sayin'?!!!?!

Things went okay,
and then one day, 'Pow!'
I can expound
with the new words found
If reasons gone,
how do I live on?
Because I know
which way I must go

Where can I go,
now that I know
time has gone by?
Time has gone by

Isn't that the madman,
running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...

You look at me,
what do you see now?
Is it so bad,
or am I just sad?
Are you in doubt?
There is a way out
I've seen the crack
I cannot come back

I'm not afraid
Sticks out a way
into the tide
Be by my side

Isn't that the madman,
running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...


25.Mr. Normal

When I walk down the street you point your ugly finger at me
Then you turn to your friends and you laugh, 'Hey, what can that
be?'
Well it's none of your business what I'm all about
Why don't you watch where you're going and shut your mouth
Just like a robot, just like a sheep,
like a zombie: dead asleep,
just like a spider with not enough feet
Oh you're normal

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Oh you're very - very normal

Well, it makes you feel big to put people who are different down
Well, you call me dirty names 'cause it makes you feel like a
man
You think the world was made just for you
and it scares you to know that it's my world too
You think that you are superior and I am inferior
You're misinformed and plain ignorant
Oh, oh, aren't we normal?

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal

You want everyone that you meet to be just like you
and when they ain't, you think you got the right to tell 'em
what to do
Like a computer with rusty gears,
you've been programmed with lies and fear
You want an answer to your question,
but when you get it, you give rejection
'cause your mind has been infected
but you call that normal

Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal

Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal

Hello, Mr. Normal
Good day, Mr. Normal

Little grey monsters with razor sharp teeth
Control junkies with machine trained eyes
You can tell who they are by the way they sneer
whenever one of us walks by
Antennaes on their heads; they're on the alert
They wanna write our names in the book of the dead;
define our morals; lay tracks for our feet
They wanna be in charge of what is in our heads
They bubble, they - hmmm... yeah, link
They sparkle, they bubble
They're gonna get us in a whole lot of trouble


26.Nuclear Waste (Version 1)

Madam I'd like to assure you that this little
Domestic reactor will never cause you any trouble
Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we don't need that
Atomic Power - we've got to leave this
Nuclear Age behind in our t-t-time

A faste breeder breaks all the rules
Gives us something for nothing - that ain't true
And who makes the profit? - not me and you
And who runs the risks? - we all do!

Nuclear Fear - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we can't get rid of that
Nuclear Power - you're hoping we'll get used to it
Nuclear Accidents- I've had enough of it.

Do you find it attractive to be radioactive
Emitting killing rays?
Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction
Transmitting out of phase?

Strontium 90
I wanna live to see 1999
There's enough energy in the air and in the sea
To give us Power to live Peace and Harmony

Nuclear Waste - we don't get used to your
Nuclear Waste - Ultimate polution
Radiation - produces mutation
Disintegration - it's not evolution
Nuclear Children - you have the solution

New Killer Waste - better active today

Than radioactive tomorrow
New Kiler Waste - need a cure for cancer?
Or you field - need the real answer
Or maybe solar - fusion nor fission
Oh darling! - let me put my arms around you

Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission
Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision
Nuclear Waste


27.Nuclear Waste (Version 2)

Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we don't need that
Nuclear Waste - we've got to leave this Nuclear age behind
in our time

A faste breeder breaks all the rules gives us something for
nothing -
That ain't true and who makes the profit? - not me and you -
And who takes the risks? - we all do!

Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - but we can't get rid of that
Nuclear Waste - you're hoping we'll get used to it
Nuclear Waste - I 've had enough of it.

Do you find it attractive to be radioactive emmiting killing
rays?
Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction transmitting out of
phase?

Strontium 90 Strontium 90 I wanna live to see 1999

There's enough energy in the air and in the sea
To give us power to live in Peace and Harmony


Nuclear Waste - we don't get used to your
Nuclear Waste - ultimate polution
Nuclear Waste - produces mutation
Nuclear Waste - it's not evolution
Nuclear Waste - you know the solution
New Killer Waste - better active today
New Killer Waste - than radioactive tomorrow
New Killer Waste - need a cure for cancer?
New Killer Waste - need the real answer
New Killer Waste - fusion not fission
New Killer Waste - let me put your arms around your
Nuclear Waste - damaging my lettuces
Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission
Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision
Nuclear Waste


28.Only The Wind

Only the wind
can carry
my message to you
Only the wind
can say
all that I wanted to
I drown
beneath the ocean,
sinking fast
I don't know
Only the wind...

Only the wind
can carry
my message to you
Only the wind
can say
all that I wanted to
I drown
beneath the ocean of my dreams,
sinking fast,
cringing at all my screams
Only the wind


29.Recapture the Thrill

Recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
No, you never will,
try as you may...

You're passing by a race and just by chance you happen to drop
in for a moment
or two...Yeah
You know the kind of thing,'cause every now and then you must
have had it happen
to you...Yeah
When just by coincidence,
things at the time
know you'll find
You meet a girl and fall in love
Chase a wife
You dance the night away...
The girl begs you,
'Please, please, please stay.'
Never try to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
No, you never will,
try as you may...

With the passing time,the memory in your mind will give a false
sense of
elation...
You wish to go but know you must return and finally yield to
temptation...
When you arrive,
you can't believe
but for the name,
the place is the same
The floor is empty
and the whole mood has changed
You spend the night alone...
Sadly, you make your way home
But everybody tries to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
Yesterday
No, they never will,
try as they may

You see them walking 'round, their heads are hanging down,their
sad faces show
disillusion...
The things they knew before are not here anymore; they can't
understand their
confusion...
The pity fools
who never learn
they just don't belong
They still...hold on
The day of spender is a nostalgic song
opening a final dream
Nothing but time in between
Forever trying to

recapture the thrill
of yesterday...
Oh, why don't they understand?
No, they never will,
try as they may
You've got to hear me, people
It's too late
Recapture the thrill
You found uncertainty

31.Round Midnight

It begins to tell
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
I do pretty well
'Til after sundown;
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad
'Round midnight

Mem'ries always start
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
Haven't got the heart
To stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight
Knows it too.

When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does that mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you;
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind.

Let our hearts take wing
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
Let the angels sing
For your returning;
Let our love be safe and sound
'Til old midnight
Comes around


32.Towers Tumbled

Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled
Volcanoes rumbled
Insurance salesman mumbled
Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled
Politicians fumbled

Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout
It was a chart - it was a card
And those are your instructions
And what he offered in his hand
It was a diagram - master plan
A secret plan for your deduction

Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter
While the drums just clatter
Your silken raiment's tatter
While all the poets chatter - 'Oh, it doesn't matter'
Please ignore the latter
Settle back you're growing fatter
Oh you know you've got no conception
Well, you're far out in space
I see you trying to trace a design
Of your heart on the stars

On the open ocean - like an open book
See the feeble fumble for a better look
See the sheep shake
In their sleep wake
Not an earthquake
Or a death wake

And all the while - through the testing and the trials
She smiles
Eternity smiles..


33.Why Don't You Answer?

Hello?

Is that seven five seven, seven four seven oh?

Hello?

It's Joe.

Who's there?


Why don't you answer?

Why don't you answer?

Why don't you answer?

Why don't you answer?

Why don't you answer?

Why don't you answer?

(Please don't treat me this way)

(Please don't treat me this way)

Please...say something

(Please don't treat me)

Don't treat me this way

(this way,this way)

Don't treat me this way

Don't treat me...


34.World War Three

World War Three
Suddenly...
comes reality...
All around,
burning ground...
Just how far can you see?...

How will you feel when you live underground?
No longer free to move on
No longer free of the things that brought you down
(Above ground)

Can this be
reality?...
All the dreams are decayed...
Here we stand,
world in hand...
We ourselves have the key...

Open the gateway to flowers and streams
Children are living our dreams
Look at them playing their games, so wild and free
(Let this be)

World War Three
Must it be?...
Live and love, don't destroy...
Ah,ah ha ha!
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Please...
Please...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Ah!


35.'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da'

Lyricist:Sting

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true


36.One World

One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us

It's a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they're a different world from me
I show my responsibility

One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us

The Third World breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there's no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow

One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us

Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It's just a self deluding trick

One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us

I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
'Cos we're all in the same big boat

One world is enough
For all of us

It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday

One world...


37.Message in a Bottle (New Classic Rock Mix)

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

38.So Lonely (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All dressed up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show

Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

Feel so low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel so lonely
So lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel so, I feel so, I feel so
I feel so alone I feel so alone
I feel so alone I feel so alone
I feel so alone I feel so alone
I feel so alone I feel so alone

Feel so low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel so lonely
So lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely
I feel so, I feel so, I feel so

39.Don't Stand So Close to Me (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing, this girl's an open page
Book marking, she's so close now, this girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous, you know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy to be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom, the accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Please don't stand so close to me
Please don't stand so close to me
Please don't stand so close to me
Please don't stand so close to me


40.The Bed's Too Big Without You (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

The bed's too big without you
The cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your mem'ry
Dreamin' dreams of what used to be

When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride, yeah
No regrets, no love, no tears
Ah, living on my own was the least of my fears

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, without you

Since that day when you'd gone
I just had to carry on
I get through the day but late at night
I make love to my pillow but it didn't seem right

Everyday just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake, oh yeah

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, without you

The bed's too big without you
The cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreamin' dreams of what used to be

When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride, yeah
No regrets, no love, no tears
Living on my own was the least of my fears

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, without you


41.Synchronicity 2

Lyricist:Gordon Matthew Sumner

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take

Many miles away, something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light
street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away, something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away, there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore, of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away, many miles away
Many miles away, many miles away
Many miles away, many miles away


42.Spirits in the Material World (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure, come on

We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world

Where does the answer lie? Where
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
We are spirits, in the material world
...


43.Walking in Your Footsteps (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me

Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps

Hey, Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn't ask for more
You were God's favorite creature
But you didn't have a future

Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps

Hey, mighty Brontosaurus
Don't you have a lesson for us?
You thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past

You were built three stories high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
Would they say that we were dumb?

Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps
Walkin' in your footsteps

They say that, 'The meek shall inherit the earth'
They say, 'The meek shall inherit the earth'
Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'

The real Father Flintstone
But you really have to think hard
When you're walking in your graveyard

Fifty million years ago
They walked upon the planet so
They live in a museum
It's the only place you'll see 'em

Now we're walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in their footsteps

Walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in their footsteps
Walkin' in my footsteps, oh


44.Synchronicity I (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

One, two, three

With one breath, with one flow
You will know synchronicity
A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shared romance synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

If we share, this nightmare
We can dream spiritus mundi
If you act, as you think
The missing link synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory synchronicity
A star fall, a phone call
It joins all synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

It's so deep, it's so wide
Your inside synchronicity
Effect without a cause sub-atomic laws
Scientific pause synchronicity

Synchronicity, synchronicity
Synchronicity, synchronicity
Synchronicity, synchronicity
Synchronicity, synchronicity


45.Wrapped Around Your Finger (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to it's fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Whom you'll find your servant is your master

You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Wrapped around your finger


46.Can't Stand Losing You (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's going to kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing you
You yeah
You yeah
Losing you

We like home and we wanna go home
We like home and we wanna go home

I guess this is our last goodbye
You don't care so I won't cry
You'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on you head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, no no no

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't
I can't stand losing you

I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

{Watch
Now come here
That's better
Now keep going
Thank you}


48.Tea in the Sahara (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

My sisters and I
Have one wish before we die
That may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged

Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure

They wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you

The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon

But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups still full of sand

Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you


49.Born in the 50's (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

Born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

My mother cried
When President Kennedy died
She said it was the Communists
I knew better

Would they drop the bomb on us
While we made love on the beach?
We were the class they couldn't teach
We knew better

We were born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

Born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

We stand like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this, we took all those G.C.E.'s
Oh you opened the door for us
Then you turned to dust

You don't understand us
So don't reprimand us
We're taking the future
We don't need no teacher

Born
Born in the fifties
Born
Born in the fifties

50.Driven To Tears (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

How can you say that you're not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands
Shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence
Is reduced to a shallow meaningless party

Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
This is what we've seen

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world
Who knows what to do

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears


51.Next to You (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, let me find a way

I sold my house, I sold my motor too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank maybe steal a plane
You took me over think I'm goin' insane

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you

I saw my doctor he said give it time
I got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all this is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want, next to you, next to you
Next to you, next to you


52.Every Little Thing She Does Is

Lyricist:Gordon Matthew Sumner

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the
phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me, must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing
Every little thing


53.Rehumanise Yourself

Lyricist:Copeland Stewart Armstrong, Gordon Matthew Sumner

He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
The kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanise yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself

Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself

I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
Must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself

Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanise yourself

Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself

I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
Must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself

Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself
Rehumanise yourself

Rehumanise yourself

54.Synchronicity II (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Yeah
Yeah

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our rice crispies
We can't hear anything at all

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take

Many miles away
Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light
street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish lake
Yeah

Yeah
Yeah

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache, oh yeah

Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
...


55.Roxanne (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
Told you once, I won't tell you again
I won't share you with another boy

You know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne Roxanne Roxanne
Roxanne Roxanne Roxanne

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

56.Bring On the Night (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Bring it on
Bring it on

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow, it's just another day
'Cause I bid just yesterday, goodbye

Come on now, bring on the night
I couldn't stop another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stop another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness, staring me blind
'Cause I bid just yesterday, goodbye

Come on now, bring on the night
I couldn't stop another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stop another hour of daylight

Bring on the night
Bring on the night

Bring on the night
Bring on the night


57.Walking On the Moon (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break, walking on the moon
We could walk forever, walking on the moon
We could be together, walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house, walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly touch the ground, walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound, walking on, walking on the
moon

Some may say, I'm wishing my days away
No way and if it's the price I pay
Some say, tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break, walking on the moon
We could walk forever, walking on the moon
We could be together, walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say, I'm wishing my days away
No way and if it's the price I pay
Some say, tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

I keep it up, I keep it up
I keep it up, I keep it up
I keep it up, I keep it up
I keep it up, I keep it up


58.Re-Humanise Yourself

Lyricist:Copeland Stewart Armstrong, Gordon Matthew Sumner

He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
Kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanize yourself

Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself

59.Synchronicity 1

Lyricist:Gordon Matthew Sumner

With one breath
With one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance
A dream dance
A shared romance
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

If we share
This nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi

If you act
As you think
The missing link
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

We know you
They know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity

A star fall
A phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible

It's so deep
It's so wide
Your inside
Synchronicity

Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws
Scientific pause
Synchronicity

Synchronicity
Synchronicity
Synchronicity

60.Man In A Suitcase (Live)

Lyricist:Sting

I'd invite you back to my place
It's only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me alright
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?

Another key for my collection
For security, I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage, you'll never get to know me well
The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?

I'd invite you back to my place
It's only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me alright
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man in a suitcase?

Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man in a suitcase?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man in a suitcase?


61.Reggatta de Blanc

Lyricist:Stewart Copeland, Sting, Andy Summers

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes
My good connection on the telephone never lies

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a list of the people I have known
I'm never alone on the end of a phone

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat


62.New World Blues

All those stories that used to say
There's a new world begins today
Bad old days just a memory
Trouble is that it seems to me - yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old planet


Golden dreams of a golden age
Silver tongue of an ancient sage
When the prose is half fulfilled
Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills - no, no no
Not on the planet


I had a vision the other night
Woken up by an angel of light
She sang a song so pure and bright
A simple tale of how it might have been


My political friend tells me I've got to fight
He says I've got to stand up for my rights
Well that's all right my friend you know I will
Just one thing you know - I ain't gonna kill - no, no no
Not on the planet


Go take me flying out of this place
To another time and some other space
I'm just another soldier fallen from grace
Won't you see me with a smile on my face?

No,no,no!
Not on the planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
But it's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)


63.Lady of Delight

Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing
On emotion's ocean
Just like a river she's rolling on forever
Got you running around now you've found
She turns the tide of your tired heart
Back to the place where you made a start
She's got the power to burn you up
But she's turning, turning your golden heart

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Don't stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter
That the world ain't treating you right
I'm talking to you - I can prove it too -
You'd better listen to me - I've got a guarantee
Now who told you life was meant to be
Happiness, Light, Love and Free
What made you think you had a right?
You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night

Wild dogs baying at the moon
Alley cats singing out of tune
Hoot of owls across the lake -
These are sounds that follow her wake

Don't think you can change her -
I know she'll rearrange you
You might disagree but just you wait and see
You think you're winning but look at the state you're in
Danger - stranger:
Some call her goddess some call her a whore
But she's a sister - a lover - a mother and more
She keeps on coming - she makes it clear
That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear

Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night


64.Electron Romance

Laser licks the lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love - starting to see love
How can you be my love -
'Found in a phaser love'?

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be

Electron Romance
Magnetic mating dance

You've got me floating - you've got me floating along
Got me hoping - really got me towing a line
You've got me hopping - really got me singing a song
You've got me hopping - got me bopping

Humming like a dynamo
Baby you're a dynamo
See it on the video
Everything you want to know
Well you don't need to fear no leader
You don't need it now
Because we're all part - a fantastic heart
Of a great big you somehow
When you've got love the stars
Above all shine for you right now

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be
Happy to be
Laser licks like lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love
How can you be me love -
Found in a phaser flood?

With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be

Electricity!
