Also, a couple years ago I bought my aspiring son the "Songwriting for Dummies" book, and Sting was listed as one of the top ten lyricists. hmmmmm, go figure!
How 'bout these lines, All in the same freaking song!!!:
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master
[sigh]

Do I have to tell a story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Love that man's lyrics so
much.
Also, I think Stew and Andy are responsible for some under-rated gems. I love how in Does Everyone Stare, the couplets go from funny to heartfelt:
I never noticed the size of my feet
Until I kicked you in the shins
and
I wanna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start
I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart
Also, little-mentioned song Someone To Talk To is a lyrical gem.
