    Lyrics:
    My sisters and I
    Have one wish before we die
    And it may sound strange
    As if our minds are deranged
    Please don't ask us why
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    We have this strange obsession
    You have the means in your possession
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    The young man agreed
    He would satisfy their need
    So they danced for his pleasure
    With a joy you could not measure
    They would wait for him here
    The same place every year
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    Across the desert he would fly
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    The sky turned to black
    Would he ever come back?
    They would climb a high dune
    They would pray to the moon
    But he'd never return
    So the sisters would burn
    As their eyes searched the land
    With their cups full of sand
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you
    Tea in the Sahara with you

    So many great bands and hits from that era. But The Police stood out from the rest. Their music to me sounded so much more skilled and sophisticated than everything else on the airwaves. They were originals. Still my favorite band.

      YES and NO to your comment. I’m 70ish now, and agree 👍 the Baby Boomer generation’s years definitely had some of the best music and artists in comparison with most of today’s so-called ‘talented’ people/bands. (But 👎 bc I was never really into the Police as much as you are.) That’s with some exceptions though - there are still, imo, some ‘newer’ ones that I think ARE 🤩 great. What gets me 😱 angry every time, no matter what year, is trying to listen AND hear music videos that gets drowned out by loud, rude, obnoxious people in the audience ! The same holds true for going to live concerts and having the SAME 😩 experience!

    With camera work by Mrs. Robinson’s 3rd graders out on a field trip. Doesn’t diminish the power of this performance. Stewart has the speed of a hummingbird with his precise strikes along with the ‘air’ or space in his kit work. Kudos to whomever taught him his technique. Sting’s grunts, canine sounds, all quite remarkable, all adding to the ambiance and haunting nature of this song. The key shift when the main verse vocal begins sets the listener on edge and adds to the strange atmosphere. Andy Summers effects pedals and carefully placed harmonic accents show his art rock origins. Remarkable to consider arena audiences had the attention span to absorb such a performance. When I was a young kid listening to the cassette of ‘Syncroniticy’ it was tracks like this that drew me into the Police and served as an entryway to the jazz oriented rock that I love to the current time.
