Lyrics:
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turn into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your flesh to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master
And you'll be wrapped around my finger

[@mrnemo7374]

Sting has a flow here ❤

[@toddk576]

From a songwriting perspective, this is a masterclass in dynamics. Each of the three masters up their game in the 3rd verse, building the song to a crescendo that’s essentially unmatched in popular music. It’s not about volume. It’s not about tempo - but it is (as Jeff Porcaro would say) about “lope.” The song leaps ahead in the third verse - starting the with bass line, under the “Devil and the deep blue sea behind me” lyric - that’s a perfect “on ramp” to what’s about to come. Stewart plays hi-hat and rim clicks up to this point, but then erupts with tasty share fills, kick drum and ride cymbal (on the chorus) that elevates the song. Andy’s (added) guitar part sounds like an alarm blaring: it’s subtle, but it’s a great guitar “hook” alerting listeners to the upcoming chorus. And the lyrics leading into the third chorus are among Sting’s best (and that’s saying something): “I will turn your face to alabaster: when you'll find your servant is your master: you'll be wrapped around MY finger.” What a brilliant twist! The whole song comes alive, with each musician playing an equal part in building the dynamics. This is how songs can, and should “move”. It’s not quantized. It’s not even about tempo. It’s about chops, mastery of instruments, and songwriting. Thank you Sting, Andy and Stewart.

@@matthewb9955 The Police were actually one of the biggest grossing bands in the 80s. They weren't even in the "just as good as any other band" club they were in a league of their own both in live ticket sales and income which is why they aren't mentioned among the others; they are not comparable, particularly when the musicianship in the 80s was on the decline due to the increased use of sampling and drum machines and less of a need for actual talent.

Brought tears to my eyes as I remember the dark period of my life in 1983. Just had my son & had the baby blues, saw it on MTV before replay & KZbin. Has a Bob Marley vibe going on there. Coudn't get enough. Music does transcends all.

yes, there is a floaty ethereal reggae vibe to the melody

Was in basic training in 1983, and every breath u take was number one hit,it helped get me through the intensive training, then later the whole album was a masterpiece, proud to have served awsome music awsome times

This song never grows old!!!!

[@francesfinney8188]

This song always reminds me of an era gone by when music was music. Growing up, I had a chance to listen to all music. And I am thankful for music, like many great artists that I tuned into as a kid, a teenager, a young adult, and now as a 57 year old young woman. It's amazing how songs bring back memories, good or bad.
