Tea In The Sahara
My sisters and I
Have this 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
We want our tea in the Sahara with you
We want our 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
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
Bring On The Night has to be worth at least four of anyone's five stars. This was an awesome live band as anyone who saw them will tell you, and this release does the band's memory justice. The especially pleasing thing about the album is the lack of obvious crowd pleasing Police favourites - Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Message In A Bottle etc, - with Sting instead relying on a mixture of his new material, Police medleys that show off the band's virtuosity, and on long overlooked songs such as Low Life and I Burn For You. Great music played with style and skill - you can't go wrong with Bring On The Night.
