Police, The - King Of Pain Lyrics

my parents have this album. this is why im here :p

One of the theme songs of my life, man.

the police were a phenomenon of their time. two musical prodigies and one pretty boy all with blonde hair and a funky reggae-pop sound that took the world by storm. i was 11 when the ghost in the machine album came out and it rocked my world. and when this album came out mtv fans fawned swooned and adulated over these guys. i'd be surprised if anyone under 30 has even heard of them these days. but if you look back and give all of their songs a really good listen, you'll discover that sting's songs were mostly about heartache and pain from relationships. and the song from this album "every breath you take", which was a super smash hit, sounds like a creepy stalker's anthem when you listen to the lyrics now. anyways, even though i never got to see them perform live (i couldn't afford the reunion show tickets in 2007) i always loved this band and i always will.

They are awesome still jamming them

Absolutely fantastic lyrics and tune. Sting is a genius.

It's my soul up there...

I am 58 yrs old. THIS is STILL my theme song. I love the Police for the free mental treatment they gave me !!

If you’re going to advertise the lyrics on a literate, artful song like this can you please at least take the trouble to get them RIGHT? Jesus, they’re a MESS.

🎅🎅🎅

There's a little black spot on my bum today.

Ok. They actually do not make music like this anymore. Just saying

I AM PAIN

ELLIOT SPENCER...PINHEAD..HELLRAISER

Best UK band no question. Every conceivable style

Definitely feeling like #thequeenofpain #mybackhurts #notcool #iknowimababy

This is one of many of my favourite Police songs. I never tire of hearing their music. A truly talented trio; just love it. Their voices are so harmonious.

Sting used to teach my Auntie in first school...maths I think...

And now he teaches us all....

Jesus I love the Police...

My dream was to sing a duet with sting but in reality i know he would kick the shit out of me if i got a note wrong...

When you listen to a Police song, it is easy to miss the sophisticated and subtle musical mastery. I love this song.

It's my destiny /to be the king of pain.........

Black spots on the sun mean the sun is changing so this song is a contradiction

yeah because a lot of skeletons choke on a crust of bread.

KD OS BR!?

Top hole tune.. under rated...

❤❤❤

I raise butterflies...from eggs to enclosure.. . Mostly, . I raise. Monarchs &, Gulph Frittalaries .. " cycles running around in brain"...my soul of pain. .".there is a butterfly caught in a spider's web".. this song means more than one realizes. I hope people will get this..All the
lyrics are true .

)(-; !

Can't stand cops, but love the police

I love the 80s songs and had the time of my life

The Police was sooooooo good!!!! Three virtuosos !

The best! Boss of boss!

Anyone out there my age, 62, who listened to this album when it was newly released?

58 yo here, I remember listening to this as a kid and loving it but not understanding it. Not until years later in my 20s-30s did I realize their brilliant tallents

Yes! was 16 when this masterpiece dropped. Remembered the long haired woman too who introduced it to me.

I knew the right people years ago who got me back stage at a Police concert in Syracuse, NY. The year before they played at a local bar here. Saw both shows.

I'm 52 and I remember it!

I'm 51, and remember this like yesterday!

16 at this concert front row you smiled at me ...I learned rythum I learned music and love that night Thank you The Police

I heard the song in boarding school and now it´s 30 years later ...

Its going to happen Monday 11/11/19 when planet Mercury moves across the sun passing directly between Earth and the Sun. It begins at 6:35 am CST.

Whenever you saw Sting in the last 25 years or so, so annoyingly full of himself that he might burst anytime, killing off John Dowland etc., you were bound to forget, what a great musician he actually is. And what a great band this was, with a unique style and impeccable songwriting. Something must have gone horribly wrong on the way. Too sad.

Sehr Guten Musik

Anybody trippin' on how the picture drops S L O W L Y as the song goes along? Woah!

The first black astronuaut...theres a little black spot on the sun today (JJ from Good Times, Mr Dynomite!!)

Lol...that's a good one...lol.

Two munched, heal t.o.e.

all the hidden meaning in our music... soul asylum, third eye blind, stone temple pilots, the doors,

anybody else think sting looks like Bea Arthur in this pic? aka Dorothy from the Golden Girls.

I think you look like my ass!

Am I the king of pain?

I lost my cherry to this song....lol...my boyfriend was definitely...The King of Pain!!...you made me think of that cause you said....am I the king of pain?....that's what my boyfriend use to ask me....lol...many years ago...lol.

I will never stop loving this song, the production value of this entire album is insanely good for 1983, Hugh Padgham took them to a new level in terms of sound with Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity, a masterpiece

I guess I've always hoped that you'd end this reign

But its my destiny to be the king of pain

That snare sound! 😍

I recall being in Wales several years ago-Holyhead, it's a town on the coast which has a ferry port to Ireland. Anyway me and a mate were returning to Ireland for Christmas but missed the boat due to traffic congestion so we had to wait for a late night boat so we went into a pub and chilled on that Friday night. In the pub, I heard this song but didn't know who it was and instantly thought it was brilliant. I couldn't for the life of me find it and over the years I looked for it but with no luck as I didn't know the words- anyway today while having this on Youtube autoplay it magically came on and I instantly recognised it. Good things do come to those who wait. Ironic the song's title as it is more king of joy to me. Happy Halloween to you all xx

Maybe my favourite one

My love of art , music , God family and country....TJ Publishing Inc screenshots of female ghosts WRITER who knows she can get her way

E purissime

Sono rimembranze bellissime

Piace a me

It took me a while before I realized Sting was singing about dead things!

For the life of me I can't get my head around Stewart Copeland's timing in the intro. If you're a drummer and you understand rhythm I'd love to get your 2 cents 🌼

The whole album is a masterpiece and considered an 80s classic.

hope your still out there, Black Knight. i just found this and im 45 yo. metal head...truly touching song. thanks for putting it up.

Love this song. Love Sting. Grew up listening to the Police. Real music! This song...... Boy, did I endure some pain!

Here cause of Lucifer lol when he’s playing this on the piano s1 e2 😁❤️

Fantastic song by the police great classic rock this song kicks ass!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🎸🎸🎸💛💛💛

This will always take me back to being a freshly minted teen in August, 1983 during our family's vacation to Disney World and Epcot. I carried around a little transistor radio and this must've played one hundred times.

Great song....my favorite Police song!❤️

For everyone who were victims of a psychopath: It´s not your fault!

He 'freed' me and it was the best thing that could have happened but yes totally agree!

One of the best albums of all time. I just wish we didn't get beat to death with "Every breath you take"

This song is so fucking good.

One of the Greatest songs of all time. The Band is a All Time Great !!

now this my MTV, thanks for the post!!

your lyrics are wrong

the little black spot is now as big as Texas in 2019 and getting bigger....

One of my favorite songs. Rock legends.

Sad song to a danceable tune, one can forget the message and dance away the blues.

Happy Birthday to Sting.

HBD Sting

Stewart Copeland is a legend without counterpart from 1980's drummers. Literally every song after Roxanne belongs to him.

They just don’t make music like this anymore.

Break up singing sighed the king of.. TJ Publishing INC. FEMALE ghostwriter LLC

How did this band get it's name? I Know the answer do you?

Stewart Copeland, hands down one of the Top 10 rock drummers of all time. Personally, he's my all-time favorite above all others.

the only police i respect

I will be doing well, feeling productive and decent feelings about life, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the existential dread, a darkness will come over me. Happened to me the other day - I just get in this dark funk. This song and Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days" really put into lyrics how this feels. Happens several times a year.

Little.black.car

King of suede?

I just got my hip replaced. I will be listening to this song alot during the next six weeks of Physical Therapy and recovery.

For those very intuitive will find this is really a christian song.
The verse: I am that I am.
Some say it should be: I am that, I am.
The song is about empathy.


Put yourself in their shoes. Thus do not judge.

There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

Always loved this song. If it is meant to be always open to interpretation, mine has changed several times over the years. I appreciate the upload.✌
