Lyric discussion by sillybunny 

Sting wrote this following his separation from Frances. At the time, he was also not getting along with Stewart and Andy.
Sting wrote this in Jamaica at the house where Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond books. Sting: "I conjured up symbols of pain and related them to my soul. A black spot on the sun struck me as being a very painful image." This was a tough song to record. Sting didn't accept most of the suggestions from Andy Summers and Stuart Copeland. The Police recorded this on the Caribbean Island of Monserrat. There was a great deal of tension in the band, and this was their last album.
