Does Everyone Stare
No Time This Time

Just a castaway an island lost at sea
Another lonely day no-one here but me
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Walked out this morning don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways looking for a home

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

I'm sending out an S.O.S....

It's Alright For Fou (Sting/S. Copeland)

Wake up, make up, bring it up, shake up
Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world die

Big car, movie star, hot tip, go far
Blind date, too late, take a bus don't wait

It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you

It's alright for you
For you and you and you

Limp wrist, tight fist, contact, no twist
Black dress, no mess, mm, don't want no less

Stand by, don't cry, watching while the world die
Three lane, fast lane, standing in the cold rain

It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you

It's alright for you
For you

Headlight, high life, can't sleep, good night
Up tight, big fight, big deal, too right

Big town, don't drown, jump back, turn around
No life, flick-knife, finish off my life

It's alright for you
For you and you and you and you and you

It's alright for you
For you

Bring On The Night (Sting)

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads itself against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
So I bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Staring me blind
So I bid this yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Deathwish (S. Copeland/A. Summers/Sting)

Deathwish in the fading light
Headlight pointing through the night
Never thought I'd see the day
Playing with my life this way

Gotta keep my foot right down
If I had wings I'd leave the ground
Buning in the outside lane
People think that I'm insane

The day I take a bend too fast
Judgement that could be my last
I'll be wiped right off the slate
Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late

Walking On The Moon (Sting)

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Keep it up...

On Any Other Day (S. Copeland)

There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay

Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day

Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day...

The Bed's Too Big Without You (Sting)

Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right through my open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets no love no tears
Living on my own was the least of my fears

The bed's too big without you

Since that day when you'd gone
Just had to carry on
I get through day but late at night
Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right
Every day, just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake

Now the bed's too big without you

The bed's too big without you...

Contact (S. Copeland)

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes
My good connection on the telephone never lies

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a list of the people I have known
I'm never alone on the end of a phone

Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat

Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?
Have we got contact
You and me?...

Does Everyone Stare (S. Copeland)

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I'm in a cold sweat, panic, it makes me late
I knew you never asked for this I know
My shots will always misfire
My shots will always miss

Does everyone stare this way at you?
I only look this way at you

I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late
I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone
I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I never noticed the size of my feet
Until I kicked you in the shins
Will you ever forgive me
For the shape I'm in
For the shape I'm in

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you

I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start
I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart
Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this
I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss
Always miss

Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you...

No Time This Time (Sting)

No time for the complexities of conversation
No time smiles, no time for knowing
No time for the intricacies of explanation
No time for sharing, even less for showing

If I could I'd slow the whole world down
I'd bring it to its knees
I'd stop it spinning round
But as it is I'm climbing
Up an endless wall

No time at all
No time this time
No time at all
No time this time

No time for a quick kiss at the railway station
No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper
Only time for timetables, calls and transportation
No time to think no time to dare

If I could I'd slow the whole world down
I'd bring it to its knees
I'd stop it spinning round
But as it is I'm climbing
Up an endless wall

No time at all
No time this time
No time at all
No time this time

If I could I'd slow the whole world down
I'd bring it to its knees
I'd stop it spinning round
But as it is I'm climbing
Up an endless wall

No time at all
No time this time
No time at all
No time this time

No time at all...
