He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war

This is very sweet and low.
Hauntingly beautiful lyrics & melody.
Though it’s been sampled so frequently by others, none hold a candle to the original.

This came on today just as I noted that Sinead O'Connor has passed away, cause presently unknown, and this song is appropriately somber. Unfortunate.
Great Song
I never realised people don't like Sting (as a person, not a musician). I don't understand the hate, but I'm also a pretentious Geordie, so maybe I just feel a kinship with him.
I know that a quadrilateral has four sides
I know that a fractal can have more if we tear it apart
I know that a decagon might have ten sides

Man, I should have been Sting's Bernie Taupin.
Does anyone else remember this is was used as the end credits for The Professional? Just me?

One of my favorites.

This remains as one of my favourite songs from the period, when music was far more important than the artist's personality. Although technology has improved audio fidelity, the signal to noise ratio (as defined by music Vs media) has become far worse, making it very difficult to enjoy many artists in quite the same way any more.

Good, original lyrics to this song:
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The whole song has a sustained metaphor around cars. It's almost like he used to be an English teacher or something...
I like some of The Police and some of the solo Sting, for the record. Pretty different, and that's a good thing.

Powerful song musically and lyrically. One of my all-time favorites. Arguably his best album along with Nothing Like the Sun

I agree. The Police were a very different entity. 3 guys that fed off each other. Equals.
His solo career has been one of an employer and his hired guns (yes, brilliant musicians but still hired/picked/recruited by Sting).
Two different sets of music. While the Police stuff is stronger IMHO, the solo stuff is still damn terrific.
With Sting, people often moan about his character or about how much they prefer The Police. I just think he's a great musician and I don't care about the rest.

As cogent, aptly put a post as I've read here in 11+ years. Reminds me of the exchange between the Left Bank patron, and promoter of the new poetry, and the self-prepossessed, perhaps passe Orpheus (the older poet trying to revive his career) in Cocteau's Orphee:
Orpheus: What would you have me do?
Patron: Astonish us!
To paraphrase another, Orphee is as close to poetry as there is in cinema.

I know people mock Gordon all of the time, but I really love this entire album (note to self, dig it out of the rack and listen to it tonight), and this song is gorgeous.

Good songwriting, but it still feels like it's missing something. Perhaps the melody sounds a bit like it was pulled from a formula for writing a song with this time signature.

I now an artist has to grow and evolve, just wish he would go back to making good music.
Sting and Dominic Miller, great combination.

I love Sting's solo stuff, maybe more than his entire body of work with The Police (although they definitely had some amazing songs).

But then again, as you point out, he does have much to be envious of! Let's not take such personal stabs at the man himself, but rather concentrate on his work. He is quite the artist. How many of you know him personally, or are you going from interview clips, etc...?
one of my favorite songs of all time, from a very poetic and well crafted album.

Yeah, he's probably a weenie, etc etc.
But he's smart enough to hire some truly exceptional musicians so there's always the playing to be enjoyed.
My ex-wife used to run into him at parties in Newcastle when she was at the Polytechnic - which I understand has been renamed. Apparently Eno was also something of a regular at the Saturday night boozers.

One of Sting's finest songs. Used in the closing credits of "The Professional". Excellent film.

As for "Stink" he probably bags his own up for fans so I'd give him a call and get some in.
Who knows maybe you'll hit it off and get invited over to watch him bang Trudie in a tantric fashion while he warbles on about winter.
Let me know how you get on.

Nothing like you... your s@#t clearly smells terribly.
Boy what a donk.....I saw him interviewed about his new album of "winter songs" on tv the other day.
he sat there smugly going on about how some of them were a 1000 years old....and so on.....with his huge ridiculous beard and strange sweater...and then he sung some with his odd cronies....ever heard a goat being slaughtered...?
You can sum him up quite simply......he really thinks his shit doesn't stink.

Perfect song to end "The Professional", one of my favorite movies.
Great song, Excellent movie, which is also one of my favorites.This song, and the one about the women dancing alone, have an odd sort of emotional impact. Melancholy, I guess you'd call it.
