Ozexpatriate Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Better are the deliberate but not immediately obvious elements like the arrow in the FedEx logo or the Amazon smile as an arrow from A → Z (meaning they offer everything from A to Z). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was sort of the subject of it when written. IIRC various radio stations thought it was a pop/love song when it came out not having actually listened to the lyrics which are a quite dark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Every_Breath_You_Take To escape the public eye, Sting retreated to the Caribbean. He started writing the song at Ian Fleming's writing desk on the Goldeneye estate in Oracabessa, Jamaica.[13] The lyrics are the words of a possessive lover who is watching "every breath you take; every move you make".

Many of the songs by The Police have quite dark lyrics that contrast with the catchy tunes - "Don't stand so close to me", "Wrapped around your finger" come to mind. "Roxanne" is less dark, but there are relatively few rock songs about prostitutes.

luckymucklebackit Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The version make in association with Spitting Image had very much more thought provoking lyrics, some of which are still appropriate today, second verse could have been written for Donald Every bomb you make And every job you take Every heart you break Every Irish wake I’ll be watching you… Every wall you build And everyone you've killed Every grave you've filled All the blood you've spilled I’ll be watching you… Oh, can't you see? You belong to me There’ll be a bill to pay On that judgement day... For every empty plate And every word of hate Those who violate I’ll be watching you… 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted November 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2020 HI everyone, That remains my favourite 'Spitting Image' song, and it is Sting on vocals. It also seems to be the one song that doesn't appear on the soundtrack CDs. Regards, Alex. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
