Nothing Like the sun...

Is taken from a Shakespeare sonnet

The Soul Cages is based on an old tale - for the life of me I can't remember
what it was called - it may have been the soul cages, but I think it was
similar to The Soldiers tale, where a fisherman wagered his own soul, and if
he couldn't drink the king of the sea under the table, then his own soul was
to be put in a lobster pot forever....  Or something like that.

If anyone has reference to that story (not the Jack Docherty one..  I don't
seem to remember that version), then I'd love to know what it's called.

Okay... so thats the 6 inch band sorted in We Work The
Black Seam.. I must admit I recalled it because I'm
from a mining community and the closure of the coal
mines in favour of nuclear power was everywhere at the
time of the last british miners strike.

But perhaps now one of you could help me...

What on earth is Sting singing about on the Japanese
version of De Do Do Do?

I found a very good website which translated the
Spanish version of De Do Do Do.. and it was a
love/lust song instead of the more political version
we are used to..(it would appear that Stings dirtiest
lyrics are often in another language! .. Hungry For
You?)

But what does the Japanese version translate as?
Does anyone out there have the answer?

Failing that...

I know Ghost In The Machine was Koestler, and
Synchronicity , Jung... but are any other sting /
police albums linked to any great
philosophical/literary works?
