Police, The - Wrapped Around Your Finger Lyrics






You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
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
Turned 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
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 face to alabaster
Then you'll find your servant is your master

You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
Yo Ohhh...

  6. R.... A....

    99% of you will fail because you refuse to acknowledge your power source. Pride will be the reason you die every single time

  7. R.... A....

    The entire bases of this song is about humility and understanding that one can never be master of anything until they first are willing to acknowledge that they are servant to everything only with the absence spitefulness

  8. J.... L....

    I'm African American 46. I don't discriminate no music or race. he ripped this boyeeee

    My Sony Walkman went through 8 sets of batteries in a month listening to this back in Summer, 1982.

    Some random person once told me that she wanted to make love to Morrissey's voice. Litterly his Voice. I laughed and thought about and I thought it over and instantly thought of Sting. Sting has the sexiest voice ever! Any one else think so?💙😊

  15. J.... A....

    Sting is so sexy in this video. One of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so lyrical and lilting. 💓

  16. A.... ....

    *Quiet Meditation* 👿🌊 _Devil and the Deep Blue Sea behind me..._
    This song has such a serenity.... dreaminess. Makes me want to meditate.
    Love Sting's literary references like Faust and Odysseus. Beautiful...
    🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 🏃‍♂️ "Walking on the Moon" & "Tea in the Sahara" also have this quiet peace...

  31. A.... D....

    The year,the beat,the lyrics, the video,the vibes=priceless

  32. M.... S....

    Classic ... This song takes me back to my childhood. I'm 43 and when I hear this song , I feel 10 years old again.

  33. W.... F....

    SLS/SICK/LICK/SKILLZ

  34. g.... s....

    Masterpiece⚘🙂⚘the great legacy in this age of stupid noise.

  35. F.... ....

    This song is so good that I had to hear it more than once.

  36. s.... l....

    That's my child hood..on the radio ... 👀

  37. M.... M....

    Sting is a master of subtlety....every time I hear this song it says something additional to me....a true masterpiece...and the percussion is awesome as well...notice that on the final verse it gets louder and more assertive...

  38. G.... R....

    Somebody:
    Can you dance?

    Me:

  39. E.... ....

    El mejor tema de the police.

  40. E.... o....

    I’ve always heard this song but never actually watched the video. When it first started my thoughts were, “Oh, god, I hope that’s not sting jumping around like a dork—it is.”

  41. j.... i....

    I had an amazing thought. Was this song being sung about being in love with an older woman?

  42. J.... C....

    I know it was the eighties and being eccentric was cool. But for such a great song, this is the dumbest music video I have ever seen in my life.

  43. A.... T....

    Hi Sting. Sometimes I love that my comments are unseen because the old is washed away and there is space for new. I remember you more now and how you are with your, uh. fashion, when irritated. I know, when she makes you Putin Nick, when she makes you a prince in public. Scott is dating, had a gf so that is why Mario is suffering and he says, my point, it's me. It's every guy, Wayne, Axl, Sting. But as Krishna Mario and Anna Radha to see what is going on. Freddie is trying to heal us. Then I began to experience memories of how you discard wife, pull away from her, and when boys did that with me. Funny. Sting likes being Sting only. Ano what you up to just the same. Listen hard to my offering, you see it cum to fruit. Haha. Tasty chocolate bar for Valentine's Day. What is else is there? Why? Love you. So much fun, Sting. You say I felt how much you love me, and are wowed by my presence. You are mystical light in the crazy. Love all you are. You say, you hug me when you see me, melting in love, chest to chest. Not sexual. It's totally drunk loving me. Haha. Must be the wine in the chocolate and fruit. As you pine after Nastya so too she pines for you. The Sign is Sting's Chest, says Mirjana at Medj. I think so. She never leaves him. Converted forever seeing that rainbow chest. Aha. Amazing find with Lourds sweaty chest magical waters. Haha. Best fun ever for any age. Thank you. xoxo

    A.... T....

    Spies showed on my mom's PC, screen filter, made in Swiss so they are after those working for Rothschild. Do you guys? I said quit, right? Thank you. Guards of Vatican are fired. Get out. Sheesh. Be safe Sting. I did not spy on her PC, she had issues and asked me to help her. Freaking out my family is not theirs eh? Best to move out of this story of Romanovs returned, humanity. Time is up. NO more risking your souls, how stupid, no wonder you lost. Amen.

    A.... T....

    Sting, so the example they show for screen filter, with a snake in the eye, that is happening to people and it is like tearing a dimension, aliens do this, I showed them a video of them doing it, they do Duchess and debutant descension from their UFOs but Vishnu said, it is Mother Mary waging war, when you see that squiggly light in your sight, she is saving Anna. Mario had it in his eyes, waging war and again I had a splash. We say disease eye disorder, but I prayed the rosary and it went away. I went into samadhi union. Aliens were showing saints coming out, of their ship, as if girls but it is Mother Mary. Cmon. They are sweet, angels, aliens who work for her and RU. Ok, thanks for clarifying that with privacy screen. You have to put on shades to watch the screen. Tom, Freddie. They are doing warfare on planes but it is not just them and they think it is and suddenly something happens and they say, it is God or a supernatural being. why can't they just stop being guided to be destroyed. It's sickening guys. Stop it. thanks. Love sting yoga.

    A.... T....

    Fallen angels forms and shadows are out, they touched my heart, probably God. They have the lights out outside, Sting. They said, no one is trying to kill Anna in evil realms but Mario and because mario was taught how to find Anna, and the guys are all one with Mario, Mario was able to go into sleep tight and do work in the sacred heart and show he is Buddha, static light, so now nothing is trying to kill Mario. You have to realize your fantasies and your own hate harm trying to kill them vs demons, fallen angels. Nothing is fighting to harm the RU realm. It is over. They did a test on Indra ending the war, it worked. Mery of mother Mary. Heart issues should ease and no threats but we need to pray and do right by God now. I had chocolate of Sting with my dad just now. Amen. Then this came out. On drugs, in memories, calling to demons who are complaining to us at the church, they won't stop bugging us, we will do what we want but they won't let us go. That is repeated now we find this. Your emotions have to be purified and you have to do work to think proper thoughts to be well, happy and seek help. Thanks. Love sting, he showed it and said, Mario is worse than me with Anna. But it is just human nature we are going through, same with RU. No war in truth. Blaming others, blaming demons, but it is just their own ego nature who is unrefined. We cannot harm the RU realm or Christians, Slavs, saints, God. Thank you. Demons win, leave us alone. we love Anna. satan says it is golden age time, can you fall in love with the light or like me, run. Which is it? Thanks.

    A.... T....

    RU donbass children say, we realize Anna loves us and we know she is on her path of austerity for us, spending is to show how to purify it with God, from useless to giving to God's devotees first, to then calming spending and paying off loan. They say, we realize she sacrifices a lot, she is our saint for us as Mother Mary said we would be going through this. They say, we know she is divine and satan if evil but we do not think Ukraine is being Satan or us, but men having a war over ideologies, because violence is needed if we cannot refrain from violence when in conflict, said Gita and Lenin. So we believe satan is not out to get RU or slavs or Anna but maybe Mario due to his double life. Not Wayne. That is women ego issues. So they sense how that is the case in this war right now. Before Satan was Anna's best friend, so we know only when God says and he just makes himself known, teach her but do not harm her. Well, do not kill her or traumatize her till she is rocking back and forth in despair in a corner saying, Nastya, nastya. You know. So there are ways to prove satan and what he does and what he is not doing. In a court of law. How God is working it so they cannot say, oh our talmud did it or God is not real or Mary is not anything. Ok? Time to end this war and get help if we are feeling violent, right Brian. He was just showing what I sense so I feel bad doing this work as if not respecting them but apologized. I said I fear you. He said, like this. Yes. All know it but that was very Shawn Penn Madonna. He is on his trail of experiencing many stories. Good for him. He's not anyone but himself. You didn't stop yet. One name per human, pls. Thank you. Learn to lose and discern. Love Sting, he shows it, what it is like. Respect his work not I own you and took over and Anna left and we got damned. Rejoice everywhere you go, ladies. Grow up, women they say. Not me. I focus on love, I told them, this can't happen, no more talks about it. Only talks about love. Mario fell in love and look what they did. Attacked him. Could be a memory of God loving me, what right do you have to judge. SOrry ain't gonna you get you off the guilty outcome in court. Learn something else and action and thought as one, pls. Sting the teacher in the Catholics. Unruly child at school, always in trouble, always being told, reminded of the laws, rules, haha, poor teachers eh. Most go off on sick leave, like Mario. Ok. Now Sting. Love you xo.

    A.... T....

    I should mention in 2002 I went to confession, again, I talk about it all the time, both ways, parish head and I chatted. Christmas or Easter, I went to Korea so maybe Christmas. He had been in NY on 911. So then I only had sin till Sept 2002, then I did my miracle healing, said my confession to God and then I do all the time. Every day, I make mistakes, I say sorry to God not my boss, to myself, to make note to correct the task and it gets bad when I keep forgetting but I do. I always have confession, never do I say I don't sin. I do but not on purpose and I ask God to help everyone and to remove veils to understand at least to better their lives. So you can't have access to my sins, stop seeking my dirt and past and lovers. Thank you, Sting. we did with Tom, with bishops, with the Pope, in public for Jason. So realize God owns this. Amen. Enjoy your music, have fun, and be loved and wow or just be you, chippy back home. Best Sting. xo

  45. L.... W....

    This song is so good!! I love it. Still listening in 2020

  46. A.... T....

    Wrapped around your finger.

  47. f.... f....

    The 80´s. The magic years in the western culture.

  48. S.... T....

    My fav Police song !

  49. F.... A....

    Sting, singing about Esoteric Knowledge. Billy Idol, Eyes Without A Face is also about Esoteric Knowledge. A lot of people think these are love songs.

    F.... A....

    Furniture Assembly Services this song is very deep..you are right on both...this song is about a relationship with the devil

  50. V.... O....

    My high school band rocked this back in the 80's. Best decade of music.

  51. J.... D....

  52. s.... 6....

  54. K.... B....

    Best lyrics of any band in my lifetime. Poetry and Philosophy.

  55. L.... P....

    In its own right this video helped to define the underlying mysticism of the 1980s...WHEN THINKING OF THE AMBIENT MYSTICISM OF THE NEW AGE DRENCHED 1980S, "WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER" BY STING COMES TO MIND...

  56. U.... i....

    Magic!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  57. M.... K....

    What about the song Lemon tree?

  58. B.... ....

    8th grade.

  59. G.... L....

    A rare occurrence of a three man band making history

  60. A.... M....

    Both Sting and Phil Collins were both, as I too, going through difficult divorces and separation(s) at the time."Hello, I Must Be Going"
    Collins, entire record/album was about just about that. The sincerity of said LP, both lyrically and instrumentally, continue to maintain its overall relevance - to this very day. amjmetaltomotown

  61. J.... M....

    The video did not fit the song, the song deserved better.

  62. V.... O....

    Hey guys go downtown and get alot of candles....we gonna make a music vid..lo. Great song though!!

  81. S.... H....

    Over 18million views can’t be wrong

  82. L.... C....

    This video was directed by Godley & Creme.

  83. G.... ....

    I'm still fascinated how this used to be a punk band

  84. G.... Y....

    This is my favourite POLICE song. It takes me back to the 80's and nights walking the streets of Cambridge England hitting pubs. Great times.

  85. M.... ....

    Still ahead it's time in 2020!

  86. J.... G....

    This is from my least favorite Police album but after listening to it more and more over the years I concluded it's an amazing album. I found it to be not nearly as good as the previous albums but I now realize how brilliant it is as well as the other albums. I remember when this song was new. I did like the album but it's taken years to grow on me like it has now. This video was on regular heavy rotation on MTV when it came out and rightfully so.

  87. D.... M....

    Great tune.

    Also a fine bit of NLP for cementing that fan base! 😂😂

  88. r.... b....

    apa, rca tendrás en first la canción que tanto busco? mmm muy probable

  89. P.... N....

    A true classic!!

  90. S.... H....

    When MTV was MTV and you watched it stoned for hours.

  91. D.... E....

    The police <3

  92. M.... S....

    Camera shadow @2:12.

  93. J.... M....

    The perfect song, amazing tune and atmosphera, genious Andy, Stewart and Sting the real music heros that definetely changes rock music into un upper level and influenced the sound of more than a decade. Regards from Lima Peru!

  94. C.... B....

    And here comes the “I’m listening to this in so and so Year” comments...

    C.... B....

    Just shows how good it was my friend

  95. C.... B....

    Sting should dance Gangdam Style in this video..

  96. B.... A....

    How many of you had to look up what the Cilla and Charbidus were. I know I did.

  97. F.... T....

    What beautiful harmonies ❤❤❤

  98. P.... B....

    2020 and i find myself listening to this. Timeless classic! What a power album! Top 10 of all-time IMO!
