    Lyrics:
    You consider me the young apprentice
    Caught between the Scylla and Charibdis
    Hypnotized by you if I should linger
    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
    I'll be wrapped around your finger
    I'll be wrapped around your finger
    Mephistopheles is not your name
    But I know what you're up to just the same
    I will listen hard to your tuition
    And you will see it come to its fruition
    I'll be wrapped around your finger
    I'll be wrapped around your finger
    Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
    Vanish in the air you'll never find me
    I will turn your flesh to alabaster
    When you find your servant is your master
    And you'll be wrapped around my finger

      I am and I was back in the early 80's too, I remember listening to this on my dad's old motorola B100W tube stereo that we had in the hallway of our farm house growing up. I used to listen to that radio alot when I was very young. That radio always had awesome base sound and was just good sounding radio all around.

      I just watched a live performance of this song from the reunion tour. I came here to hear the studio version.
      They're both great, but I'm partial to the live performance because Stewart goes all out on all his percussive toys.

    From a songwriting perspective, this is a masterclass in dynamics. Each of the three masters up their game in the 3rd verse, building the song to a crescendo that’s essentially unmatched in popular music. It’s not about volume. It’s not about tempo - but it is (as Jeff Porcaro would say) about “lope.” The song leaps ahead in the third verse - starting the with bass line, under the “Devil and the deep blue sea behind me” lyric - that’s a perfect “on ramp” to what’s about to come. Stewart plays hi-hat and rim clicks up to this point, but then erupts with tasty share fills, kick drum and ride cymbal (on the chorus) that elevates the song. Andy’s (added) guitar part sounds like an alarm blaring: it’s subtle, but it’s a great guitar “hook” alerting listeners to the upcoming chorus. And the lyrics leading into the third chorus are among Sting’s best (and that’s saying something): “I will turn your face to alabaster: when you'll find your servant is your master: you'll be wrapped around MY finger.” What a brilliant twist! The whole song comes alive, with each musician playing an equal part in building the dynamics. This is how songs can, and should “move”. It’s not quantized. It’s not even about tempo. It’s about chops, mastery of instruments, and songwriting. Thank you Sting, Andy and Stewart.

    Copeland's drumming in this song is criminally under rated. The gentle fills and artistic use of the symbols is a clinic for drummers to follow.

    When I hear The Police I am reminded of a beautiful girl I knew back in the 80’s in my class and she loved The Police.
    Sadly alcohol took her and she is gone now. Sad to me, I always wanted better for her. But when a song from the Police comes on it almost always reminds me of her.

      If you listen closely, this is the moment when the lyrics change too. It changes from him being the guy running for her (I'll be wrapped...), to the guy becoming the "master", letting go (You'll be wrapped...) and reclaiming his power. Even the listener feels the shift in feelings!
