The Police in Deep Purple
Mad fans of Pirates of the Caribbean and all things Buccaneer!! and anything to raise a smile
Story behind the song
A humourous imagining of an early Police rehersal session in a working mens club circa 1977 with the original line up (Henry Padovani)....Set to the back drop of Deep Purple
Lyrics
Well we all went down to Surrey
Close to the M25
We hired a room in a working mens club
Man it was such a dive
But the Barmaids were fancy
Slinging beers around
When some arse from the Council
Said we were makin' too much sound.
Sending out an SOS
A year has passed since I broke my nose
Sending out an SOS
A year has passed since I broke my nose
So we nipped out for a fag break
When some bastard stole my guitar
Didn't see who did it
But Padovani was running for the car
Got thrown a mobile
So I called the Police
They said they'ed send someone around
All we got was PC Sumner
And this is what he said to me
Walking out with Sting's guitar
So we can't play tunes
Wonder how we got this far
Hope it's on the news
So they issued out a warrant
They tried to chase old Henry down
He was caught by his Motels
He was screamin' 'for cryin' out loud'
But the guitar he had was different
Coz Henry only played with 3 strings
But that didn't seem to matter
When it was played by Sting
Coz Sting only plays with two fingers
Coz Sting only plays with two fingers
