Well, they learned from the best...David bowie for one.

I love the way the song starts with the little guitar riff and the ominous bass note. The way that changes a bit but continues through the first verse then completely changes up in the chorus. It's like Prog Pop! I've listened to this song for decades but just lately come to appreciate it even more.

Thank you guys for the exposure to the new words! "Ominous," "diatonic "......etc... This is what I love about music. Learning! Unfortunately I left school at the very young age of 15. However, I feel enriched with the education and knowledge that I have obtained through lyrics of music and people speaking about music. I wouldn't have the vocabulary that I have today had I not loved music the way that I do. I wish you guys a great day! ❤😊

If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies & music, YOU were blessed.

You got to hand it to the Police. They really brought on the next decade. Such unique sound and sensibilities, such great songwriting and aesthetic.

Only Anonymous same here... I LOVE older guys and I can’t control myself when I see a hot one... I’ve always been like that, I’m 18 and I only feel attracted by men in their 30s or 40s

@Blaise 2067 Bullshit. There's never been more than a couple of girls in any of my groups (Highschool and Uni) who fancied older men, maybe 10% of the total. As for myself I always ever since teenage liked guys a couple of years older and at 40 something I prefer men by a fair margin younger and I wasn't the only one. Yes there are women who like older men. But "natural"? Nope, it's not the standard and the only reason women mated with older men for eons was because they were married before they had a choice by the parents decisions.

This song is so cool...

It's ironic that he's a teacher in that track, and, he truthfully used to be a teacher

Wow! Aren't you a prodigy! Did you also get the part about the teacher having feelings for the student too and yet knowing that it's inappropriate? Hence the song title.

Lyrics: Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside him, there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking, she's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staff room The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me

One of the best rock band ever - unique sound and that Sting voice

there is something so attractive about sting and still today he is so fit

I just love the way he shakes his head at the books like "am I teaching idiots or stupid idiots?"😂😂😂

I like how they’re syncing to the dancing

Synchronicity is definitely not underrated, it was in fact their biggest success (and for a good reason) and they were already huge when it was released, so guess what. Zenyatta Mondatta might be underrated but Police themselves don't have a high opinion on it either, it sounds very rushed out and underproduced like they actually admit.

You just can’t help singing along

Sting has to be the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen in my life 😍 one of the most talented too
