| Sting sure used to like to throw in the stray "yos" a lot, didn't he. "An island lost at sea-yo/Another lonely day/No one here but me-yo" And also a word -- perhaps foreign -- that sounds like "shoque." What's that all about? | |

| This song IS about feeling lonely, not connecting with anyone else, and just feeling like calling out to someone. As for the "hundred billion bottles", it's a symbolic number, that represents enormity. It's not like he would actually COUNT the bottles. All in all, it's a nice visual image: "Walked out this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed upon the shore..." It's my fave. part of the song. That and the bass solo. The best I ever heard! | |

| KurdtTBO, it says One hundred MILLION. And while this Song is obviously symbolic of lonliness, I like to think that it is actually a storyline of some sort, wit ha real island, and real bottles. ^^ | |
