If anybody's not familiar with the notations, he're the structure of the song:
Play first verse until the ":||", that means go to the "||:", and
play second verse (lyrics not included but starts with "see you've sent
my letters back..", but skip the "* first verse only" section and go directly
to "second verse and &". Play til you see "D. & al Coda" meaning go back to
the "&" sign, this would be "guess you'd call it suicide.." in the song, again
skip the "* first verse only" and go directly to "second verse and &" but this
time go to "Coda" at the measure annotated with "To Coda". Each measure is
by the way indicated by the "|" signs. Good luck, Ameen.

| A sad song about a breakup which leads to suicide. "You'll be sorry when I'm dead And all this guilt will be on your head I guess you'd call it suicide". He can't stand losing her, so death is his only escape. | |

| The meaning is pretty obvious...but it's a great song all the same. | |

| quite simple, but not only does the break-up lead to suicide, he also wants to make her feel guilty about it. So actually it's an obsessive song, which means such a thing as: if you're not going to come back to me, I'll kill myself and you'll be very sorry about it, because they'll blame you. Note: Sting wanted to write a lovesong, but it turned out to something else... creepy... the process of songwriting... | |

| Man oh Man....who would kill themselves over some fool. I don't think Sting was serious about the suicide thing. I think that was more tongue and cheek. | |

| Yeah, I somehow don't really think a song that was a 100% earnest take on being broken hearted and suicidal would include the lines "You don't ever want to see me again/and your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten". The part about her maliciously scratching up all his records before she sends them back to him is kind of a funny detail too. | |
