Sting Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics ) 3 O'Clock Shot Everyone I know is lonely My God's so far away And my heart belongs to no one So now sometimes I pray Please take this space between us And fill it up some way I've been waiting for my brothers Since ****ing Christmas day There's a song that everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part Nothing seems to matter To no one anymore They say my world is shattered I just did it on the floor It won't go no further It is here I make my stand If you say my life is precious When you held it in your hand There's a song that everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part There's a song that everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part Songs everyone's heard Let me hear it, make me a part...

A Day In The Life A Day In The Life I read the news today oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew is mind out in car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure If he was from the House of Lords I saw a film today oh boy, The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had to look Having read the book I'd love to turn you on Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke Somebody spoke and I went into a dream I read the news today oh boy Four-thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small they had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I'd love to turn you on...

A Sermon A Sermon When you reach number ten And think the struggle ends But it ain't the end It's only a trend You have to unbend 'Cause it's only a trend Don't lose all your friends Don't make your heroes end When you reach number eight It ain't no pearly gate 'Cause it won't satiate Your growing appetite You can ply your trade And push your crusade Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the Traps are all laid for any honest crusade Your old values will fade As you struggle to make the grade As you struggle to make the grade You needn't bother! When you hit number four You're almost through the door But there's a whole lot More you just can't ignore The telephone's sure, you know the score But don't let this uproar Dissipate your encore It's written in the news How you paid your dues But you've no excuse For the people you abuse When you reach number one You can beat your drum You can sack your roadies in Birmingham When your record is platinum You can stick it to the [band] To the wall like you've always planned It's written in the news how you paid your dues But you've no excuse for the people you abuse When you reach number ten The people you abuse No excuse For the people you abuse You've got no excuse For the people you abuse...

A Thousand Years A Thousand Years A thousand years, a thousand more A thousand times a million doors to eternity I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times An endless turning stairway climbs To a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars, The towers rise to numberless floors in space I could shed another million tears, a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to face A million roads, a million fears A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies, a million songs, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth, a single light A single thought, a singular touch of grace Then following this single point , this single flame, The single haunted memory of your face I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid, Until you love me...

After The Rain Has Fallen After The Rain Has Fallen The palace guards are all sleeping Their fires burn into the night There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon And all that's left is a quarter moon of light He climbs up through the darkness No weapon but his surprise The greatest thief in the high Sahara Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies All your money, your pretty necklace This is my work on such a night There's a storm coming over the mountain I'll be gone long before the morning After the rain has fallen After the tears have washed your eyes You find that I've take nothing, that Love can't replace in the blink of an eye He was as gentle as the night wind As no lover had been before And the rings she wore for her bride groom Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor Take me with you, take me with you Before my lonely life is set I've been promised to another To a man I've never even met After the rain has fallen After the tears have washed your eyes You'll find that I've take nothing, that Love can't replace in the blink of an eye After the thunder's spoken, and After the lightning bolt's been hurled After the dream is broken, there'll Still be love in the world She said take me to another life Take me for a pirate's wife Take me where the wind blows Take me where the red wine flows Take me to the danger Take me to the life of crime Take me to the stars Take me to the moon while we still have time After the rain has fallen After the tears have washed your eyes You'll find that I've taken nothing, that Love can't replace in the blink of an eye After the thunder's spoken, and After the lightning bolt's been hurled After the dream is broken, there'll Still be love in the world Still be love in the world...

All Four Seasons All Four Seasons With her smile as sweet as a warm wind in summer She's got me flying like a bird in a bright June sky And then just when she thinks that I've got her number Brings me down to the ground with her wintry eye That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day And when the nighttime comes with no interference To our warm summer love with all its charms But like a thoroughbred horse she can turn on a sixpence And I find that I'm back in Mistress Winter's arms That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day How will I know? How can I tell? Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins She can be kind She can be cruel She's got me guessing like a game show fool She can change her mind like she changes her sweaters From one minute to the next it's hard to tell She blows hot and cold just like stormy weather She's my gift from the Lord or a fiend from hell That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day Watching the weatherman's been no good at all Winter, spring, summer, I'm bound for a fall There are no long term predictions for my baby She can be all four seasons in one day How will I know? How can I tell? Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins She can be kind She can be cruel She's got me guessing like a game show fool If it's a sunny day I take my umbrella Just in case the raindrops start to fall You could say that I'm just a cautious fellow I don't want to be caught in a sudden squall That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day...

All This Time All This Time I looked out across The river today Saw a city in the fog And an old church tower Where the seagulls play Saw the sad shire horses Walking home in the sodium light two priests on the ferry October geese on a cold winter's night All this time The river flowed Endlessly, To the sea. Two priest came round Our house tonight One young, one old, To offer prayers for the dying, And To serve the final rite One to love, one to teach Which way the cold wind blows one Fussing and flapping in priestly black Like a murder of crows All this time The river flowed Endlessly, To the sea. If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river And I'd bury the old man I'd bury him at sea Blessed are the poor For they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor Than be a fat man in the eye of a needle As these words were spoken I swear I hear the old man laughing What good is a used up world, And how could it be worth having? All this time The river flowed Endlessly, like a silent tear. All this time The river flowed Father, if Jesus exists, Then how come he never lived here? Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Teachers told us The Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple on the edge of the Empire garrison town They lived and they died They prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a sound And their empire crumbled Till all that was left Were the stones the workmen found All this time the river flowed In the falling light of a northern sun If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river Men go crazy in congregations They only get better one by one One by one One by one, by one One by one I looked out across The river today I saw a city in the fog And an old church tower Where the seagulls play Saw the sad shire horses Walking home in the sodium light Two priests on the ferry October geese on a cold winter's nigh...

Another Day Another Day Every day Every day and every day Every day, every day Every day Every day that goes by A new hungry baby starts to cry Born astride a painful grave Drowned in hunger's tidal wave Pick a child that you can save It'd be the only one If Africa escapes starvation Not only food but education The desert grows with every minute Trapping everybody in it All the children look the same They wonder why they came But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye Every day that goes by A brand new missile points towards the sky We're survivors of a game of chance Beneath an arms race avalanche If you survive this winter's cold You'd be the only one If we escape annihilation Not only hope but education The world is ruled by Bellophiles Adding to their weapon piles Imagine what your taxes buy We hardly ever try But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye That this too solid flesh Would melt and resolve into a dew Suffocating lassitude Drowning in my platitude Trapped by insecurities I'm not the only one If I survive this dislocation Have to use my education The world is ruled by Bellophiles Adding to their weapon piles Imagine what your taxes buy We hardly ever try But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day, another day's gone by Bye bye Bye bye, bye bye Bye bye Another day's gone by...

Another Pyramid Another Pyramid Sad to say our mighty ruler Is not really in the pink Hopes could not be minuscular That he'll come back from the brink Not to beat around the bush He looks like heading for his box At the risk of seeming pushy We must plan for future shocks According to the hawk of Horus Our most regal invalid Is not that much longer for us Build another pyramid Build it, build it Another pyramid build it, build it Though all doctors and physicians Have been summoned to his bed It'll soon be top morticians We'll be calling for instead With each wheeze the nation's humming Egypt shakes with every cough No two ways about what's coming No discussion, bets are off Soon our monarch will have filled the tomb Just like his fathers did Summon Egypt's greatest builder Need another pyramid Build it, build it Another pyramid Build it, build it We hate to depress the nation But our leader has been told He should scrub his next vacation Even put tonight on hold This is where his loyal priesthood Has the chance to do him proud Holy leaders at the least should See him happy to his shroud He must have a vault that's grand by Any standards for to live Put five thousand slaves on standby Build another pyramid...

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 Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl...

Big Lie Small World Big Lie Small World I sat down and wrote this letter Telling you that I felt better Since you'd gone and I was free I'm so happy I have so little time to spare now I'm wanted almost everywhere now I make out like Casanova Friends are always coming over I signed my name as if I meant it Sealed it with a kiss and sent it The letter had improved my mood Happy in my solitude But halfway home I changed my tune And when I saw my lonely room The mirror caught my eye When I sit down I cry Big lie, small world Big lie, small world I had to intercept that letter Telling you that I was better I raced to catch the postman's van He was leaving as I ran I miss the bus I miss the train I end up walking in the rain Big dog chased me down the street I hadn't had a bite to eat Feeling sorry for myself Wishing I was someone else I walked across the city 'Cause I couldn't stand your pity Big lie, small world Big lie, small world The place you live looks opulent And obviously a higher rent Than our cosy little room I had this sense of doom The landlord says you're out of town That your new boyfriend's always around The hour was getting late So I sit down and wait Here's the postman with my letter Coming down the path, he'd better Give that thing to me I have to make him see Begging doesn't do the trick He thinks that I'm a lunatic And then who comes upon the scene But your new boyfriend Mr. Clean I hit the postman, hit your lover Grabbed the letter ran for cover The police arrived in time for tea Said they'd like to question me I can only curse my fate I have to face the magistrate It hasn't been the best of days I'd like to fly away Big lie, small world Big lie, small world...

Children's Crusade Children's Crusade 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 in 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 in the blood of a whole generation Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four Fixing in doorways, opium slaves Poppies for young men, such bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed All for a children's crusade...

Come Down In Time Come Down In Time In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch And I came down to meet you In the half light the moon left While a cluster of night jars Sang some songs out of tune A mantle of bright light s Shone down from a room Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave to me Come down in time and I'll meet you half way Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet But a true love like hers is a hard love to get And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all Come down in time I still hear her say So clear in my ear like it was today Come down in time was the message she gave to me Come down in time and I'll meet you half way There are women and women and some hold you tight While some leave you counting the stars in the night...

Consider Me Gone Consider Me Gone You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there There were rooms of forgiveness In the house that we share But 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 After today Consider me gone You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there Roses have thorns Shining water's mud And cancer lurks deep In the sweetest bud Clouds and eclipses Stain the moon and the sun And history reeks Of the wrongs we have done After today 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 After today After today Consider me gone Consider me gone Consider me, consider me Consider me gone, gone, gone, gone...

Conversation With A Dog Conversation With A Dog I asked my dog what he thought the best in man He said, "The love you dispense to me twice daily from a can." I said, "Why do you think my question funny? And where would you be without my money?" I said, "There may be some quality in us you must treasure." "It's despair," he said, "of which your money is the measure." Walk like a dog, like anybody can I said, "What about our politics, philosophy, our history?" He said, "If there is something admirable in these it is a mystery." "But there must be something in our system tell me at your leisure." "It's despair," he said, "of which your borders are the measure." Walk like a dog, talk like a man Walk like a dog, like anybody can I said, "What about technology, computers, nuclear fission?" "I'm terrified of radiation, hate the television." I said, "There must be something in our scientific treasure." "It's despair," he said, "of which your weapons are the measure." "Feed me, you can beat me. I will love you till I die. But don't ask for admiration and don't ever ask me why." I said, "Why wait till now to demonstrate displeasure?" "It's despair," he said, "of which my silence was the measure." Walk like a dog, talk like a man Walk like a dog, like anybody can... Sting |
Darkness Darkness I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws 'til 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 I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat I don't see any flaws 'til I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring...

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 a some magazine Too many cam'ras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears 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 Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears... Sting |

End Of The Game End Of The Game The fox has done running And the beast is at bay We'd run them in circles By the end of the day They chased him through brambles They chased him through the fields They'd chased him for ever But the fox would not yield And some saw her shadow On the crest of a hill When the hounds were distracted Away from the kill One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon And we'll lay down our heads just like we were sleeping And be towed by the drag of the moon We ran through the forest We ran through the streams We ran through the heather 'Til we ran in our dreams You were my lover And I was your beau We ran like the river For what else did we know? One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon The dogs are all worn out And the horses are lame The hunters and hunted At the end of the game Our love was a river A wild mountain stream In a tumbling fury On the edge of a dream They chased us through brambles They chased us through fields They'd chased us forever But the heart would not yield When the fox had done running At the end of the day I'm ready to answer I'm ready to pay And this rivers still running And time will come soon Carried to the great ocean By the drag of the moon...

Epilogue Nothing 'Bout Me Lyrics Epilogue Nothing 'Bout Me Lyrics 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...
