I loved early Police. Very witty and different. Brought reggae to the pop masses, which I thought was cool.

Rien de dormier cette nuit

Je veux de toi

Jusque'a` ce que je sois sec

Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's

Comple'tement couvert de sueur

Nous nous noyons dans la mare'e

Je n'ai aucun de'sir

Tu as ravage' mon coeur

Et mois j'ai bu ton sang

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Tout le monde est a` moi

Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes

Et maintenant je m'en fous

C'e'tait gagne' trop facilement

Ca y est alors ma belle traitresse

Il faut que je brule de jalousie

Tu as ravage' mon coeur

Et moi j'ai bu ton sang

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

No matter what I do

I'm still hungry for you

No matter what I do

I'm still hungry for you

Rien de dormir cette nuit

Je veux de toi jusque'a` ce que je sois sec

Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's

Comple'tement couvert de sueur











Can't get to sleep tonight

I want you until I am dry

But our bodies are all wet

Completely covered by sweat

We drown ourselves in the tide

I have no desire

You have devastated my heart

And me, I have drunk your blood

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

The world is mine

I won it in a card game

And now I don't give a damn

It was won too easily

This is it then my beautiful traitress

I have to burn from jealousy

You have devastated my heart

And me, I have drunk your blood

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

But we can do what we want

I would always be hungry for you

No matter what I do

I'm still hungry for you

No matter what I do

I'm still hungry for you

Can't get to sleep tonight

I want you until I am dry

But our bodies are all wet

Completely covered by sweat

Hungry for you

I'm hungry for you

I'm still hungry for you

I'm hungry for you

I'm hungry for you

I'm hungry for you
posture your mandables towards the sky
and oscilate them in an apathetic manner

I heart The Police/Sting, I don't think there's any song by them that I dislike. In fact, I just heard the song, "Do Do Do, Da Da Da" on the radio this evening as I was driving around in my car.

The Police video that is my favorite is the one for "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". Loved that video when I first saw it, and still do, it rocks!
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
