        That makes sense cuz the song is literally about a stalker. Sting apparently learned some people think it’s romantic, even playing it at weddings, and was shocked.

          Attempts to be police but non-bastard will always fail.

    Up until recently I assumed everyone listened to Roxanne ironically.

      Honestly the whole reason I posted this was because I listened to Roxanne for the first time today and enjoyed it

      Before today I’d only heard the version where the lyrics are just “rocks”

          Stewart Copeland, drummer in The Police, is the son of Miles Copeland Jr. — a founding member of the OSS and CIA.
