song list next song Sting: Letter O Sting: Brand New Day Perfect Love... Gone Wrong
(...)
I’ve had a question that’s been preying on my mind for some time
I won’t be wagging my tail for one good reason
It has to be a crime

This doghouse never was the place for me,
Runner up and second best just ain’t my pedigree
I was so happy, just the two of us
Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale

He won’t love you
Like I love you,
It won’t be long now before that puppy goes astray
And what I like about this guy the most?..........
He'd be my favourite lamppost
Devil take the hindmost

Je sais que c'est dur, mais ilfaut se faire ar changement, tu vois
J’ai négligé le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi…
Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais çà s’attenuera
Car c’est d’un homme plus d’un chien don't j’ai besoin pres de moi
Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c’est comme çà
N’en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t’éloigner de moi
Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m’aimer tant que çà
Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi

It’s a shaggy kind of story
Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
I wouldn't dish around here
There’s something fishy round here

I howl all night and I sleep all day
It takes more than biscuit baby to chase these blues away
I’ve got a long enough leash
I could almost hang myself
It's a dogs life loving you baby
But you love someone else
Now he’s moved by basket
I’d like to put him in a casket
I’ll wear my best collar to his funeral

Ta mauvaise foi, j’aimerais bien que çà s’arrête
Me separer de toi, aujourd’hui çà trotte dans ma tête
Moi non, j’en peux plus, tu n’est q’un chien, c’est trop bête
La situation m’avait ppourtant l’air d’être des pius nette
C’est clair, que je l’aime c’est un fait, ton égoïsme m’inquiète
Après toutes ces soirées passées seuis en tête à tête
Chaque chose a une fin, et c’est la fin de la fête
Pour toi, car bientôt il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.

To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong

You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
I'd always be your boy
I'd be your faithful companion
And I would follow you through every thick and thin
Don't need nobody else
And we don't need him
song list next song previous song The Pirate's Bride
(Sting)
(released as a b-side on several singles from the Mercury Falling album)
Sometimes in the light at the edge of the world
Is the ghost of a ship with it's black sail furled
And night after night she would stand on the shore
And dream of the love that she knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men

We set sail for the Spanish Main
To rob the ships of the Queen of Spain
And she would be his pirate's bride
She gave him the pistol and the sword at his side

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again

Full fathom five my true love lies
In a fine wooden casket with gold on his eyes
Where is the glory and where is the pride?
Where is the joy for the pirate's bride?

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men

Here in the light at the edge of the world
He'd wait for a ship with it's black sail furled
And day after day he would stand on the shore
And dream of the life that he knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again
song list next song previous song Very Best Of Sting & The Police Sting: Fields Of Gold Sting: Ten Summoner's Tales Prologue (If I Ever Loose My Faith In You)
(Sting)
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse, but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face

I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse, but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
