The Police

"Roxanne, You dont have to put on the red light. Those days are over, You dont have to sell your body to the night.Roxanne, You dont have to wear that dress tonight. Walk the streets for money, You dont care if its wrong or if its right."

"Beds too big without you. Cold wind blows right through my open door. I cant sleep with your memory, Dreaming dreams of what used to be."

"Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears. Tell me, where would I go? I aint been out in years. Turn on the stereo, its played for years and years: An Otis Redding song, its all I own."

"I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if shell marry me in some old fashioned way. But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone, Long before tongue has tripped me, Must I always be alone?Every little thing she does is magic; Everything she do just turns me on. Even though my life before was tragic, Now I know my love for her goes on."

"You consider me the young apprentice Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis. Hypnotized by you if I should linger, Staring at the ring around your finger.I have only come here seeking knowledge, Things they wouldnt teach me of in college. I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold.Ill be wrapped around your finger. Ill be wrapped around your finger."

"I sold my house I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be next to you. Id rob a bank Maybe steal a plane. You took me over, Think Im goin insane."

"Dont think me unkind, Words are hard to find. Theyre only cheques Ive left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind. And when their eloquence escapes me, Their logic ties me up and rapes me."

"Ive called you so many times today, And I guess its all true what your girlfriends say. That you dont ever want to see me again, And your brothers going to kill me and hes six feet ten. I guess youd call it cowardice, But Im not prepared to go on like this.I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing. I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing. I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing. I cant stand losing you..."

"Some may say, Im wishing my days away. No way, and if its the price I pay Some say, tomorrows another day. You stay, I may as well play."

"Now no ones knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more. All made up and nowhere to go; Welcome to this one man show.Just take a seat theyre always free, No surprise no mystery. In this theatre that I call my soul, I always play the starring role."

"Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy. She wants him so badly, Knows what she wants to be. Inside her theres longing, This girls an open page. Book marking - shes so close now, This girl is half his age."

"Another working day has ended, Only the rush hour hell to face. Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, Contestants in a suicidal race. Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance. He knows that something somewhere has to break. He sees the family home now looming in his headlights, The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache."
