I've discovered this little masterpiece of songwriting recently, and I've immediately fallen in love with it. It was released in 1983 as forth single of the epic album "Syncronicity" by Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, the Police. The lyrics are both simple and powerful, the metaphors talk directly to the listeners, there's something magical in the echoes... simply amazing... For me, the meaning of al the song is concentrated in one line, "That's my soul up there"... It makes me cry, especially the last lines, "I'll always be the king of pain", it describes fully me... May the Music be with you all! Lyrics There's a little black spot on the sun today That's my soul up there It's the same old thing as yesterday That's my soul up there There's a black hat caught in a high tree top That's my soul up there There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop That's my soul up there I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I always thought that you could end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall There's a dead salmon frozen in a water fall There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web There's a king on his throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread There's a red fox torn by a huntman's pack There's a black winged gull with a broken back There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday That's my soul up there.... I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I always thought that you could end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.... I'll always be the king of pain....
