I heard a rumor that Sting secretly bought this song from the Marley estate. I don't believe it, but it does sound like him (except for the chorus) and that is not a bad thing.

And I can't imagine Bob saying "caught between the Scylla and Charybdis" lol

No, Sting & co. had to steal a song no one else had ever discovered or heard of because they were too inept and talentless to write it for themselves. rolleyes lol

The lyrics are too rich for Bob Marley to have penned this.
