The Police, “Every Breath You Take”: I don’t care what anybody says, the second time around, Sting is singing “I’m a pool hall ace!”
I may have mentioned this before, but as a kid, I thought the first verse of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” ran “He has trampled through the village where the crates of rats are stored.” I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would store crates of rats, but the rest of the song doesn’t make sense either when you’re four years old, so what the hell.
