Sting – ”Driven To Tears”
”Driven to Tears” (versuri/lyrics In Paris) Melodie de: Sting 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 Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow, meaningless party Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food This is what we’ve seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears What? Whoa-oh, oh Whoa-oh, oh Whoa-oh, oh Whoa-oh Protest is futile Nothing seems to get through What’s to become of our world? Who knows what to do? Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to […]

Sting – ”Shape of my heart”
”Shape of my heart” Melodie de: Sting 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 [Studio version:] The hidden law of a probable outcome [Live version:] The hidden laws of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the 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 the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs […]
Sting – ”Tempted”
”Tempted” Melodie de: Sting I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pyjamas, a hairbrush New shoes and a case I said to my reflection Let’s get out of this place Past the church and the steeple The laundry on the hill Billboards and the buildings Memories of it still keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know I will Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What’s been going on? Now that you have gone There’s no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I’m at the car park, the airport The baggage carousel The people keep on crowding I’m wishing I was well I said its no occasion It’s no story I can tell From my bedside empty pocket A foot without a sock Your body gets much closer I fumble with […]

Sting – ”Fortress Around Your Heart”
„Fortress Around Your Heart” Melodie de: Sting 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 recognised the walls that I once made I had to stop in my tracks for fear Of walking on the mines I’d laid And if I’ve 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 […]
Sting – ”Fragile”
”If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime’s argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are How fragile we are, how fragile we are” Songwriters: Gordon Matthew Sumner.
