Sting to release lyrics as book

I just read that Sting will release the lyrics to Police as a book later in the year. Sounds like a good idea. And perhaps it will put to rest a lot of the speculation about his lyrics. My favourite misunderstanding is “Every Breath You Take“, a song that sounds like it was written by a stalker (…”oh can’t you see, you belong to me…” - creepy!). So I’ve never understood how it became so popular at weddings. It’s probably telling us something about today’s relationships that I don’t want to know!

Nonetheless, there’s never enough debate about lyrics. So I’ll be checking the book out. Got any favourite Sting/Police lyrics you want to mention?
