The Police - 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

The Police - 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
I won′t [be] stopping till you go

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!

The Police - 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

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

The Police - 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)

The Police - 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..

The Police - 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...
[heavy breathing to fade]

The Police - 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

The Police - 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...
[coughing]
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

The Police - 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

The Police - 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...

The Police - 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

The Police - 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.

The Police - Be My GirlSally

Won′t you be my girl
Won′t you be my girl
Won′t you be my, be my,
Be my girl

I was blue and lonely,
I couldn′t sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious
If I′d had to much to drink

There was somehow, something wrong somewhere,
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation
Were growing in my head

I needed inspiration,
A brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection,
But I didn′t want a wife

And then by lucky chance I saw
In a special magazine
An ad that was unusual,
The like I′d never seen,

Experience something different
With our new imported toy,
She′s loving, warm, inflatible
And a guarantee of joy

She came all wrapped in cardboard,
All pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed
To make her lose that frown

I took her to the bedroom
And pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment
That girl became my wife

And so I sit her in the corner
And sometimes stroke her hair
And when I′m feeling naughty
I blow her up with air

She′s cuddly and she′s bouncy,
She′s like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen
And I bounce her in the hall

And now my life is different
Since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning
And have her on a tray

She′s everything they say she was
And I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry
In case my girl wears thin

Won′t you be my girl
Won′t you be my girl
Won′t you be my, be my,
Be my girl

The Police - The Bed′s Too Big Without You

Bed′s too big without you
Cold wind blows right thru my open door
I can′t sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be

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

Bed′s too big without you
The bed′s too big without you
The bed′s too big
Without you

Since that day when you′d gone
Just had to carry on
I get thru day but late at night
Made love to my pillow but it didn′t feel right

Every day, just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake

Now the bed′s too big without you
The bed′s too big without you
The bed′s too big
Without you

The Police - Shape Of My Heart

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn′t play for the money he wins
He doesn′t play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You′d maybe think there′s something wrong
I′m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that′s not the shape of my heart

The Police - Don′t Stand So Close To Me

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 to 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, whe′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

The Police - Can′t Stand Losing You

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 gonna 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 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
But to carry on living doesn′t make no sense

I can′t, I can′t
I can′t stand losing

I guess this 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, I can′t
I can′t stand losing
I can′t stand losing you

The Police - Born In the ′50s

We were born
Born in the fifties

My mother cried
When President Kennedy died
She said it was the Communists
But 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
′Cos we knew better

We were born
Born in the fifties

They screamed
When The Beatles sang
And they laughed when the king fell down the stars
O they should′ve known better

O we hated our aunt
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
O we should′ve known better

We were born
Born in the fifties

We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this when we took all those GCE′s
O you opened the door for us
And 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

We were born
Born in the fifties

The Police - 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

The Police - Ain′t No Sunshine

Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone.
It′s not warm when she′s away.
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone
And she′s always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she′s gone,
Wonder if she′s gone to stay
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone
And this house just ain′t no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain′t no sunshine when she′s gone,
And this house just ain′t no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

The Police - 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

The Police - Invisible Sun

I don′t want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite
I don′t want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don′t want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don′t ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day′s done

It′s dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day′s done

And they′re only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don′t even wanna die just yet

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day′s done

The Police - Truth Hits Everybody

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It′ll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don′t want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death

Take a look at my new toy
It′ll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

Where you want to be
Won′t you ever see

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Now

The Police - Miss Gradenko

Don′t tell the director I said so
But are you safe Miss Gradenko?
We were at a policy meeting
They were planning new ways of cheating
I didn′t want to rock your boat
But you sent this dangerous note
You′ve been letting your feelings show

Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?

Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?

Is anybody alive in here?
Nobody but us

Your uniform don′t seem to fit
You′re much too alive in it
You′ve been letting your feelings show
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?

The Police - Visions Of The Night

Gazed into the visions of the night
Seen the darkness fall
I′ve heard a mountain fall away from sight
Heard the thunder call

Seen the beast I call my father
Creature of the night
I feel the creeping darkness close
That electric light

They say the meek shall inherit the earth
How long will you keep it?
They sow a harvest but what′s it worth?
There′s no one left to reap it

The Police - Walking In Your Footsteps

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

Walking in your footsteps

Hey Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn′t ask for more
You were God′s favourite creature
But you didn′t have a future

Walking 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?

Walking in your footsteps

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

Walking in your footsteps....

They say the meek shall inherit the earth....

Walking in your footsteps....

The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Though I′ve tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Everytime 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 doe 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 resolved 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
Know I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing she doe is magic magic magic
Magic magic magic

The Police - Fall Out

I never thought of leading
I′ve got my own machine
And I′ve paid my dues all along
All set for breaking
When I missed those other people
′Cause I knew that I was really alone

Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and gangs
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

I saw my education
It was my indoctrination
Just to be another parking machine
All my sense was breaking
When I missed those other people
′Cause I knew that I was not very clean

Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and gangs
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

Fall out!

The Police - Man In A Suitcase

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

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

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

The Police - Secret Journey

Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man
His blindness was his wisdom
I′m such a lonely man

And as the world was turning
It rolled itself in pain
This does not seem to touch you
He pointed to the rain

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you′ve made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss

And on the days that followed
I listened to his words
I strained to understand him
I chased his thoughts like birds

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you′ve made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss

You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
You will see joy in this sadness
You will find this love you miss

And when you′ve made your secret journey
You will be a holy man

The Police - Once Upon A Daydream

Once upon a daydream
I fell in love with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that love to you
Once upon a lifetime
I knew it must be true
When the months had turned us
I′d have to marry you

Once upon a daydream
Doesn′t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for tenderness

Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the floor
He killed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myself a gun
I blew her daddy′s brains out
Now hell has just begun

Once upon a daydream
Doesn′t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment

(Oh....)

Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years
Once upon a daydream
He′d make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He′d dream his life away

Once upon a daydream
Doesn′t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles

Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day...
Dream

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you
I burn for you

You and I are lovers
And nighttime falls around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes me head
I burn for you
I burn for you

Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me

Though I lie here so still
I burn for you
I burn for you

Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round
Don′t be seen alone without your friends at night
Take a gun or a knife to the low life

Don′t have to be born into this society
Pay for love but the hate comes free
Bring enough money for the rest of your life
Don′t bring your wife to the low life

Bringing us there to the degradation
Always keep your back to the wall
No rewards for your infatuation
Low life
No life at all
Yeah, low life, low life

In here to long to be afraid anymore
You can′t reach the bed so you sleep on the floor
You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you won′t get high on the low life

Low life....

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

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

We are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
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

Tied to the tracks and the train′s just coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn′t in your plan
And don′t mess around with the demolition man

Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn′t in your plan
And don′t mess around with the demolition man

I′m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I′m a three line whip
I′m the sort of thing they ban
I′m a walking disaster
I′m a demolition man

You come to me like a moth to the flame
It′s love you need but I don′t play that game
′Cos you could be my greatest fan
But I′m nobody′s friend
I′m a demolition man

I′m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I′m a three line whip
I′m the sort of thing they ban
I′m a walking disaster
I′m a demolition man

Demolition man...

My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die
And it 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

We want our tea in the Sahara with you
We want our 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 would 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

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....

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

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

None of his friends know right from wrong

I can dream up schemes when I′m sitting in my seat
I don′t see any flaws till I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring

I could make a mark if it weren′t so dark
I could be replaced by any bright spark
But darkness makes me fumble
For a key
To a door
That′s wide open

Instead of worrying about my clothes
I could be someone that nobody knows
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring

It can′t be no optical illusion
So how can you explain
Shadows in the rain

And if you see us on the corner
And we′re dancing in the rain
I join my friends there when I see them
Outside my window pane
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

Shadows in the rain

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don′t know exactly where I am

He does the best with me he can

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

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance 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
′Cos this is what we′ve seen

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

The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I′ve heard in twenty years
The razor′s edge of night, it cuts into my sleep
I sit upon the edge now
Shall I make that leap?

I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman

The sky′s alive with turned on television sets
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
The edge of time closes down as I disappear

I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman
Always talking to myself
Oh!

The time that′s best is when surroundings fade away
The presense of another world comes close to me
It′s time for me to throw away this paper knife
I′m not alone in reaching for a perfect life

I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman
I′m the omegaman

I′m so tired
Of the omegaman

There′s a little black spot on the sun today
It′s the same old thing as yesterday
There′s a black hat caught in a high tree top
There′s a flag pole rag and the wind won′t stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ′round my brain
I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign
But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain

There′s a little black spot on the sun today

Tha′s my soul up there

But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain

There′s a fossil that′s trapped in a high cliff wall
That′s my soul up there
There′s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That′s my soul up there
There′s a blue whale beached by a springtide′s ebb
That′s my soul up there
There′s a butterfly trapped in a spider′s web
That′s my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ′round my brain
I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign
But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain

There′s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There′s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
Ther′s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There′s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain

There′s a red fox thorn by a huntsman′s pack
That′s my soul up there
There′s a black winged gull with a broken back
That′s my soul up there
There′s a little black spot on the sun today
It′s the same old thing as yesterday
