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.

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.
