Late at night in summer heat Expensive car, empty street There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade It only takes a moment, don't be afraid I can hot-wire an ignition like some kind of star I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights And we drive into the night Oh the smell of the leather always excites my imagination And I picture myself in this different situation I'm a company director, two kids and a wife I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near Start ringing in my ear Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could. It's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool She picks the kids up from some private school She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne And the kids just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light And she drives into the night Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight So here I am in a stolen car at a traffic light They go from red to green and so I just drive into the night Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
Old enough to be her dad But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances But she was flattered by his charm It wouldn't do her any harm they'd all had their chances He sent her flowers and limousines She was treated like a queen And anything she ever wanted Was no problem for a man like him And everyone expected soon That she could ask him for the moon If she would wear his ring Knowing glances from his friends In the homes at the weekends of high society But he didn't give a damn He never felt more like a man And all the time the clock was ticking And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy In a house upon a hill She was now with time to kill She lived a life she'd only dreamed But life was never what it seemed To all her friends that she'd ignored She denied that she was bored She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing But the clock upon the wall That was ticking in the hall Always reminded her That life was going on elsewhere But she was happy and she swear she wouldn't change a thing And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy Now it's five o'clock a.m. She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers She loves to dance She's missing more and more these days But I'm still stuck in my old ways Perhaps she needs a little more romance But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall She must be home soon Where a younger man would weep He takes a pill and goes to sleep Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife? Now who would envy...?
This is your song you drive through the night! You're probably still working I don't know but I had to give this to you! Sometimes you just have to escape! Good night
Three comments? You folks should really listen to STING more often!!
The best version of stolen car . The narrative is so clear , i can feel what sting meant of the song in this version
Sting accompanied by the greatest musicians in the world. Perfect match ❤
Всегда любила, и буду любить❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋🌹
Top Quality
A combination of everything Mr Sumner!
Божественно💘💘💘
I can't believe that more human beings don't listen to this extravagant extravaganza of jazz pop! Conducted by Sting?!
Late at night in summer heat
Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
I can hot-wire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
And we drive into the night
Oh the smell of the leather always excites my imagination
And I picture myself in this different situation
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
Start ringing in my ear
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could. It's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up from some private school
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
And the kids just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
So here I am in a stolen car at a traffic light
They go from red to green and so I just drive into the night
Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
But she was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they'd all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
And anything she ever wanted
Was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon
If she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was now with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
But life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she'd ignored
She denied that she was bored
She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing
But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall
Always reminded her
That life was going on elsewhere
But she was happy and she swear she wouldn't change a thing
And all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
Now it's five o'clock a.m.
She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But I'm still stuck in my old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
She must be home soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife?
Now who would envy...?
Simple the best!
Люблю очень сильно ❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋🌹
It's unprecedented even in 2022!!!
the backing vocal enters the song early.
Sting is god!
Yes,the god of the music
Mr wynton marsalis told me you should bring back my brother! Bradford? Dominic! And the Grand Master Mr Sting? 2022!
This is your song you drive through the night! You're probably still working I don't know but I had to give this to you! Sometimes you just have to escape! Good night
Applause belongs to Dominic Miller!
See you in Spain!!!
Where is Mr Sting we need him now more than ever another solo! Not from Kingston! From London!
The quality of songwriting and sound/music is beyond
All the
Люблю тебя очень сильно❤❤❤❤❤
This here is what music is all about. Plain and simple.
You can't duplicate this stuff it's unparalleled! It's from another planet!
That's Sting!!!!!!!
S t i n g just has to whisper to any jazz great artists and they will come!
Two songs are like a prophecy between a number of individuals that we won't name! Lust greed and the simple need for love! We love you sting!
Everybody get ready here comes Dominic Miller! He's a martyr! He's what drives sting! God bless you Dominic we love you!
