Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Saint Augustine In Hell" | Although you hear the h-word at least once, you never hear the name 'Saint Augustine' once in the song. Some would probably know it best from the chorus: 'The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye, the minute I touched the flame, I knew it would never die!' - Larcen Tyler |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Annabelle It wasn't me, it actually was my sister, Amber who misheard this lyric. When Mom would listen to Sting in the car, when this song came on, it made me wonder why my sister would believe that someone would hardly survive geology. It was my mom who set her straight, thank goodness! However, my sister still believes that her version is the original! |

"We'll Be Together"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Forget the weather, we should always be together. Any other thought is unkind.
Why They're Nonsensical: What on earth does what the weather is have to do with whether or not you're together with someone?! Sounds pretty silly to me.

"Shape of My Heart"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Why They're Misrhymed: Ok, I love Sting as a writer and performer. He has made some of the best songs in the world to me, and this is one of them. However, I wince whenever this part comes up, it just sounds too clumsy and like he was trying to be so deep but ended up sounding like Yoda. Plus, 'Wrong' doesn't rhyme with 'One'

"We'll Be Together"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I see you and me, and baby makes three
Why They're Inappropriate: Actually, in Sting's case, it's more like nine or ten... but then, who's counting?

"Russians"
The Dated Lyrics: Mr. Kruschev said, "We will bury you."
I don't subscribe to this point of view. Mr. Reagan said, "We will protect you." I don't subscribe to this point of view. Why They're Dated: Nikita Kruschev and Ronald Reagan are both dead, so neither of them care about Sting's point of view.

| "We Dance Alone (Gueca Solo)"
The Dated Lyrics: Hey Mr Pinochet, you've sown a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you, one day that money's gonna stop Why They're Dated: Pinochet has not be the leader of Chile since 1990, whose regime this song was protesting. Although it is one of the top 5 best songs Sting has written, you can tell it is definitely dated.

"Perfect love.......gone wrong"
The Lyrics: Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois J'ai neglige le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ?a s'attenuera Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien don't j'ai besoin pres de moi Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ?a N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'eloigner de moi Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ? Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi
Why: If you make a list with foreign language in it, then this one should be in it too.
