Every Breathe You Take - Police

[CrazyLea]

Ok, I LOVE this song.
However, few months ago, we had this thing at college, which was like issues such as alcoholisim, drugs, domestic violence..etc.. and until that day, I never realised just how weird the lyrics of this song were...
The domestic violence section made us think they are really stalkerish.. and every time I listen to it I feel the lyrics are quite stalkerish.. and domestic violence kinda lyrics.. such as "YOU BELONG TO ME" << weird :p.

But yeah, was trying to explain to my drunk mother, but she didn't understand, so.. this isn't a thread for if you like the song.. just if you agree with what I'm saying.. and perhaps never realised it!!! Here are the lyrics....

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you...

i was never keen on the police it was a song that droned on (dont know if i spelt that right!!!)

[Perdita]

I agree, the lyrics are a bit 'stalkerish'. Nice song though. :)

[Abigail]

Never thought of the lyrics in depth before but you're right, it is a bit stalkerish.

[Katy]

no i agree my mum had a thing with someone and when it ended he would sin g this too her down the phone, she cant listen to the song now.

[Trinity]

Yep - definitely stalkerish!

So is Blondies 'One Way or Another'

"One Way Or Another"

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the lip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip

I'll walk down the mall
Stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
[repeat until fade]

Wow never thought about the Blondie one either :eek: That's really creepy lol!

[Abbie]

:lol: this reminds me of my dad, only cause when I said I loved the song he was like yeah buts its pretty much about a stalker

[Ruffed_lemur]

I believe Sting wrote it about his ex. Maybe at the time she thought he was seeing someone else. I thought it was a love song originally, but it's far from it!

[Chloe O'brien]

I always thought of it as a love song but I agree I can see where it does become pretty stalkish.
