Police, The - Someone To Talk To Lyrics
Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
And what do I care if she leaves me alone
If I need somebody I'll pick up the phone
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
Put on some music and pour out a drink
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think
Someone to talk to
She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
I tried and I tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
Why am I standing right next to the phone
When I kept on saying I must be alone
Someone to talk to
I love you, why didn't I say that before
I guess that it's safe now, she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending your strong
I didn't see her, I only felt me
And one day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late
Someone to talk to...

Sorry to say that, but a lil' bit of punkish... for me... );-D
Sting didn't want to sing on that track. Too bad.
Still better than "Mother".
Too bad Sting wasn't such an egotistical bastard. He could have sung on a classic Police tune.
The lads rubbed each other the wrong way but Sting must not have been fun to work with at all.
I actually prefer Andy singing this tune, its very personal to him as he wrote this about his marriage falling apart.
Rusty Kuntz point is Stingo refused to sing and Andy preferred he sing but of course Stingo is an arrogant twat huh Stew 🤭
@Ross Carpenter Way to go, Ross! Can you still manufacture Goop? I need some to stop my waterskis from leaking.
Alweg Fan trouble is it doesn’t work. If you apply it to boats like I’m pretending to do here, it wears off and the boat infuriates itself into a million pieces. It ain’t waterproof either and yet I’m applying to boats. I play Duke Rivers in this one but I still go by Ross here.
Stewart Copeland is brilliant, always.
Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
And what do I care if she leaves me alone
If I need somebody I'll pick up the phone
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
I'm starting all over, good bye to all that
Put on some music and pour out a drink
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think
Someone to talk to
She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
I tried and I tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone
When I kept on saying I must be alone
Someone to talk to
I love you, why didn't I say that before
I guess that it's safe now, she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending you're strong
I didn't see her, I only felt me
And one day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late

Love this song. Not only is it just a good song but Stewart Copeland; the tension he adds with double-timing the snare right before the chorus adds such a cool quality to the song.
Yes, that is Andy Summers singing on this.
As it should be, this is a very personal song about the divorce Andy was going through at this time.
@Rusty Kuntz Yes indeed. Apparently, they reunited years later.
Does Andy sing in this??
Yep. He also sang the verses on The Police's song "Friends."
It's a good song but kinda weird; its premise is strengthening relationships through cannibalism.
Indeed, its incorrectly stated as Sting as the vocalist here in the liner notes. He's listed under his real name here as well, Gordon Sumner but its 100% Andy singing
