Текст песни:

Young men, soldiers, nineteen fourteen
Marching through countries they′d never seen
Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
All for a children′s crusade

Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed

The children of England would never be slaves
They′re trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained the blood of a whole generation

Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History′s lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children′s crusade

The children of England would never be slaves
They′re trapped on the wire and dying in waves
The flower of England face down in the mud
And stained the blood of a whole generation

Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four
Fixing in doorways, opium slaves
Poppies for young men, death′s bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children′s crusade

Текст песни:

Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I could win you
Or if I could make you mine
Or if I could make you mine

The wind it was so insistent
With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
Came a dryness in my mouth
Came a dryness in my mouth

For then without rhyme of reason
The two birds did rise up to fly
And were the two birds were flying
I swear I saw you and I
I swear I saw you and I

I walked out this morning
It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
In the line where the hills had been married to the sky
And all around me every blade of singing grass
Was calling out your name and that our love would always last
And inside every turning leaf
Is the pattern of an older tree
The shape of our future
The shape of all our history
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Came things I′d never seen
Things I′d never seen

I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

I know it′s true
It′s written in the sky as blue
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
If nature′s red in tooth and claw
Like the winter′s freeze and summer′s thaw
The wounds she gave me
Were the wounds that would heal me
And we′d be like the moon and sun
And when our courtly dance had run
Its course across the sky
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
Where the river meets the sea
Something new would arrive
Something better would arrive

I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
Every signpost in nature
Said you belong to me

Текст песни:

She don′t like to hear me sing
She don′t want no diamond ring
She don′t want to drive my car
She won′t let me go that far
She don′t like the way I look
She don′t like the things I cook
She don′t like the way I play
She don′t like the things I say
But oh the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

She don′t like the jokes I make
She don′t like the drugs I take
She don′t like the friends I got
She don′t like my friends a lot
She don′t like the clothes I wear
She don′t like the way I stare
She don′t like the tales I tell
She don′t like the way I smell
But oh, the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do
Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two
I could distort myself to be the perfect man
She might prefer me as I am

She don′t want to meet my folks
She don′t want to hear my jokes
She don′t want to fix my tie
She don′t even want to try
She don′t like the books I read
She don′t like the way I feed
She don′t want to save my life
She don′t want to be my wife
But oh, the games we play
She′s too good for me
She′s too good for me

Текст песни:

There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
Bu the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf-loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
After today, consider me gone

Roses have thorns and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
After today, consider me gone

I′ve spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it′s no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

After today, consider me gone

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Dansons tu dis
Et moi je suis
Mes pas sont gauches
Mes pieds tu fauches
Je crains les sots
Je cherche en vain les mots
Pour m′expliquer ta vie alors
Tu ments ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense tu sais
Erreurs jamais
J′ecoute tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets

Je pleure tu ris
Je chante tu cries
Tu semes les graines
D′un mauvais chéne
Mon ble s′envole
Tu en a ras le bol
J′attends, toujours
Mes cris sont sourds
Tu ments, ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
J′ecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets

@ Sting

Текст песни:

There′s a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told "seek and you shall find"
So I′m going to seek a certain girl I′ve had in mind
Looking everywhere haven′t found her yet
She′s the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of with regret
I′d like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?

There′s a somebody I′m longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who′ll watch over me

I′m a little lamb who′s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who′ll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won′t you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
Oh, how I need someone who′ll watch over me

There′s a somebody I′m longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to watch over me

I′m a little lamb who′s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who′ll watch over me

Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won′t you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
Oh, how I need someone to watch over me

Текст песни:

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man′s desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing′s as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the love

@ Sting

Текст песни:

When you′re down and they′re counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there′s no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He′ll guide you well

When the doctors failed to heal you
When no medicine chest can make you well
When no counsel leads to comfort
When there are no more lies they can tell
No more useless information
And the compass spins
The compass spins between heaven and hell
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He′ll guide you well

And your eyes turn towards the window pane
To the lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
And the dark room seems so still

Let your pain be my sorrow
Let your tears be my tears too
Let your courage be my model
That the north you find will be true
When there′s no more useless information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you upon your way

Текст песни:

Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supercede the human kiss

A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize the brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance

But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers′ ancient art
That go straight to my heart

A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they′re working far too much
For the redundancy of touch

But what will make me yours
Are a million deadly spores
Formed by lovers′ ancient art
That go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door

You′ll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I′ll be true. To no one but you

If it′s a future world we fear
We have tomorrow′s seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand

But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we′re sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart

If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you

But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You′re the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You′ll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I′ll be true. To no one but you

Текст песни:

Lay my head on the surgeon′s table
Take my fingerprints if you are able
Pick my brains pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you′ll still know nothing ′bout me

Run my name though your computer
Mention me in passing to your college tutor
Check my records check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you′ll still know nothing ′bout me
You′ll still know nothing ′bout me

You don′t need to read no books on my history
I′m a simple man, it′s no big mystery
In the cold weather, a hand needs a glove
At times like this, a lonely man like me needs love

Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything ′cause I won′t be at home
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see
You′ll still know nothing ′bout me

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Fill my eyes
O Lithium sunset
And take this lonesome burden
Of worry from my mind

Take this heartache
Of obsidian darkness
And fold my darkness
Into your yellow light

I′ve been scattered I′ve been shattered
I′ve been knocked out of the race
But I′ll get better
I feel your light upon my face

Heal my soul
O Lithium sunset
And I′ll ride the turning world
Into another night

See mercury falling

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Why are there women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can′t see what it is that they dispise
They′re dancing with the missing
They′re dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They′re dancing with their fathers
They′re dancing with their sons
They′re dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

It′s the only form of protest they′re allowed
I′ve seen their silent faces scream so loud
If they were to speak these words they′d go missing too
Another woman on a torture table what else can they do
They′re dancing with the missing
They′re dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They′re dancing with their fathers
They′re dancing with their sons
They′re dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

One day we′ll dance on their graves
One day we′ll sing our freedom
One day we′ll laugh in our joy
And we′ll dance
One day we′ll dance on their graves
One day we′ll sing our freedom
One day we′ll laugh in our joy
And we′ll dance

Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos
Ellas danzan con los muertos
Ellas danzan con amores invisibles
Ellas danzan con silenciosa angustia
Danzan con sus pardres
Danzan con sus hijos
Danzan con sus esposos
Ellas danzan solas
Danzan solas

Hey Mr. Pinochet
You′ve sown a bitter crop
It′s foreign money that supports you
One day the money′s going to stop
No wages for your torturers
No budget for your guns
Can you think of your own mother
Dancin′ with her invisible son
They′re dancing with the missing
They′re dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
They′re anguish is unsaid
They′re dancing with their fathers
They′re dancing with their sons
They′re dancing with their husbands
They dance alone They dance alone

Текст песни:

You′ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You′ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We′ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I′ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We′ll walk in fields of gold
We′ll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

You′ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Текст песни:

Well she′s walking through the clouds
with a circus mind
that′s running wild.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairy tales

That′s all she ever thinks about...

Riding the wind.

When I′m sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles
she gives to me free

It′s alright she says
it′s alright
Take anything you want from me
anything

Fly on little wing

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Mercury falling
I rise from my bed
Collect my thoughts together
I have to hold my head
It seems that she′s gone
And somehow I am pinned by
The Hounds of Winter
Howling in the wind

I walk through the day
My coat around my ears
I look for my companion
I have to dry my tears
It seems that she′s gone
Leaving me too soon
I′m as dark as December
I′m as cold as the Man in the Moon

I still see her face
As beautiful as day
It′s easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome sound
The Hounds of Winter
They follow me down

I can′t make up the fire
The way that she could
I spend all my days
In the search for dry wood
Board all the windows and close the front door
I can′t believe she won′t be here anymore

I still see her face
As beautiful as day
It′s easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome sound
The Hounds of Winter
They follow me down

A season for joy
A season for sorrow
Where she′s gone
I will surely, surely follow
She brightened my day
She warmed the coldest night
The Hounds of Winter
They got me in their sights

I still see her face
As beautiful as day
It′s easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome sound
The Hounds of Winter
They harry me down

@ Sting

Текст песни:

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
the siege guns had been pounding through the night

It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I′d known
I recognized the walls that I once made
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I′d laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

Then I went off to fight some battle
That I′d invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath that tattered flag we′d made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I′d laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

The prison has now become your home
a sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I′d known
I recognized the fields where I once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I′d laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
