The Police were an English new wave band strongly influenced by reggae, jazz and punk rock. They were originally formed in 1977 in London by Stewart Copeland (drums), Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting (bass and lead vocals), and Henry Padovani (guitar). Andy Summers later joined the group, and after a very short stint as a quartet, Padovani left the band. The Police became one of the most popular bands in the late 70s/80s.  

Le groupe est formé en 1977 par Stewart Copeland, Henry Padovani et Sting (Gordon Matthew Sumner de son vrai nom), à partir de l'idée de Stewart Copeland qui voulait rejoindre la scène Punk qui explosait à l'époque. Ils sont rejoints rapidement par Andy Summers, formant un court moment un quatuor. Henry Padovani quitte le groupe peu de temps après, les autres membres voulant s'écarter du mouvement punk. Et puis le courant ne passait pas entre Andy Summers et Henry Padovani.  

The Police sind eine der erfolgreichsten alternative rock / punk rock Bands der späten 1970-er und frühen 1980-er Jahre aus United Kingdom.  Nominell und während der ersten Monate ihres Bestehens konnten The Police durchaus als 

The Police surge en Londres en 1977, año de crispación, delincuencia y paro en el Reino Unido, causas del malestar social que hizo a la juventud comenzar a adorar a cuatro chavales que gritaban, despotricaban contra la monarquía y bebían mucha cerveza (y se metían lo que no era cerveza), Los Sex Pistols. En pleno auge del movimiento punk, en el que el virtuosismo instrumental y las letras carentes de insultos y política estaban relegados a un segundo plano, eran las bandas realmente buenas las que salían adelante.

So Lonely

According to Songfacts, this song is about a teenager who commits suicide when he loses his girlfriend. It took Sting only a few minutes to write the lyrics. They are not supposed to be deep and meaningful, but more of a joke.  This was the first Police song to chart. It hit #42 in England when it was released in 1978. A year later, after The Police became widely known, it was re-released and went to #2.

Can't Stand Losing You

Roxanne is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978 as a single and on their album Outlandos d'Amour. It was written about a prostitute in southern France.  Police lead singer Sting wrote the song, inspired by the prostitutes he saw near the band's seedy hotel while in Paris, France in October 1977 to perform at the Nashville Club. The title of the song comes from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer.

Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
E5                            C5   F5
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
E5                          C5      F5

I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone

Am             G   Em7     Am          Em7
You consider me the young apprentice
Am                    G   Am    Am       Em7
Caught between the scylla and charibdes
              G     Em7      Am            Em7
Hynotized by you if I should linger
Am                G    Am     Am         Em7
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
Turn into a shining band of gold

CHORUS
G                           Fmaj7
I'll be wrapped around your finger

 Em    Dm7    Am     Em7     Am


Am             G   Em7     Am          Em7
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition

Verse 3

Loose talk in  the class room
to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
the accusations fly
It's no use   he sees her
he starts to shake and cough
just like the old man
in that book by Nabakov

Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener

el aire que a diario respiras

Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro

Por eso hoy

Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Go down to the bandstand on the pier

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

una piel y una flor

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

DOm LA#
Es que el amor es una ciencia exacta,

DOm LA#
Y el dolor suele ser un misterio

SOL# DOm
Salir, parece buena idea,

SOL# DOm
Escapar, esa no es la manera de seguir

SOL# DOm
No esperar que el tiempo arregle todo,

SI LA#
Cuestión de encontrar el modo de reír

DOm FA MIb LA# DOm
Y si no estas bien, no te desarmes

FA MIb LA# DOm
Ponte de pie y andar y andar

FA MIb LA# DOm
No los escuchés pueden marearte

FA MIb LA# DOm
Solo saben hablar, y hablar y hablar

PUENTE: DOm LA# DOm LA#


DOm LA# DOm LA# DOm
A donde vas? No entiendo, no

LA# DOm LA#
Por que estas mintiendo?

DOm FA MIb LA# DOm
Y si no estas bien, no te desarmes

FA MIb LA# DOm
Ponte de pie y andar y andar…

FA MIb LA# DOm
No los escuchés pueden marearte

FA MIb LA# DOm
Solo saben hablar, y hablar y hablar...


SOLO: DOm LA#

FINAL: DOm - FA - MIb - LA# - DOm - MIb - FA - LA#

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
