To light a real bonfire, for all time
 
'Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids off the ground
When it was all over
We had to find a place to sweat.

Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race'.

Good choice - hugely famous guitar riff, but nobody cares about the words beyond the chorus - dum dum dum, dum dum da dum, dum dum dum, DUM DUM

"You consider me the young apprentice,
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdis."
Wrapped around your finger...

See, as sad as it probably is, this is the sort of thing I enjoy. I'd no idea of the song, and I don't particularly listen to Sting, but that got me to google Scylla and Charibdis, as the answer had me humming Blancmange, Living on the ceiling. Now I've learned something new. Pointless I suppose, but there it is.

I like good lyrics. They're sometimes more like poetry....

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites, It's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care.

And from the same song....

I loved you then as I love you still, but though I put you on a pedestal they put you on the pill.
