The Police, O Regresso



Ciúmes, ódios e jogos de poder acabaram com um dos grupos mais carismáticos da década de oitenta.

The Police, Roxanne

Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light

Those days are over

You don’t have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne, you don’t have to wear that dress tonight

Walk these streets for money

You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right

Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light

Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

I love you since I’ve knew you

I wouldn’t talk down to you

I have to tell you just how I feel

I won’t share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up

So put away your makeup

Tell you once I won’t tell you again it’s a bad way

Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light

Roxanne, you don’t have to put on the red light

You don’t have to

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

You don’t have to

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light

Roxanne, put on the red light




Eram três seres humanos muito diferentes que se tinham juntado em 1977, exclusivamente para apanhar o comboio do sucesso.

A banda era constituída por:

- Andy Summers, guitarras;

- Stewart Copeland, bateria;

- Sting, baixo



The Police, Every breath you take

Every breath you take

every move you make

every bond you break

every step you take

i'll be watching you every single day

every word you say

every game you play

every night you stay

i'll be watching you oh can't you see, you belong to me

how my poor heart aches, with every step you take

with every move you make

with every vow you break

every smile you fake, every claim you stake

i'll be watching you since you've gone, i've been lost without a trace

I dream every night I can only see your face

I look around but its you I can't replace

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep calling baby, baby, pleaseoh can't you see, you belong to me

that my poor heart aches, with every step you take

with every move you make, and every vow you break

every smile you fake, every claim you stake

i'll be watching you every move you make, every step you take

i'll be watching youi'll be watching you Every breath you take

every move you make

every bond you break

i'll be watching you every single day

every word you say

every game you play

i'll be watching you every move you make

every vow you break

every smile you fake

i'll be watching youe very single day

every word you say

every game you play

i'll be watching you Every breath you take

every move you make

every bond you break

i'll be watching you every single day

every word you say

every game you play

i'll be watching you every move you make

every vow you break

every smile you fake

i'll be watching you

Para Andy Summers, tratava-se praticamente da última oportunidade. Nascido em, 1942, tocava já há 15 anos sem qualquer êxito.

Stewart Copeland, americano nascido em 1952, saboreou um curto sucesso como baterista dos Curved Air.

Gordon Matthew Summer, nascido em 1951, alias Sting, um músico que combatia as suas frustações tocando jazz, em grupos de entusiastas do género, enquanto dedilhava o baixo.

Entre 1977 e 1984, gravaram cinco albúns, dos quais se extraíram diamantes como Roxanne, Message in the Bottle, Every Little She Does Is Magic, Every Breath You Take.

The Police foram da explosão do Punk, à New Wave, bebendo no Ska, no Reggae, na música étnica, aproximando-se do Jazz…

The Police, Every Little She Does Is Magic

Though I've tried before to tell her

Of the feelings I have for her in my heart

Every time that I come near her

I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days since we first met

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day

And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way

But my silent fears have gripped me

Long before I reach the phone

Long before my tongue has tripped me

Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turns me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

Sting dava ares de Deus do Rock.

«Se alguma vez falar em ressuscitar os Police, autorizo, que me internem num manicómio.», Sting

Ofendidos, os seus companheiros enveredaram por vidas profissionais fora dos grandes palcos.

Vinte e quatro anos depois, Sting pôs de lado as discórdias e tocou a rebate…

Este Verão, uma digressão à escala planetária… Lisboa incluída… 25 de Setembro de 2007… Estado Nacional…

Meus Senhores e Minhas Senhoras, The Police!
