No one has mentioned the absolutley electric EYO-0! EYO-O! EYO-O! my favourite part I'd have to say.
I do think it someone he already knows. Beside the thousand rainy days thing i think the umbrella talk is impotant. Hell is directly tied into the rainy days... I think its just another example of how infatuated he is. They are friends theyve been together on thses rainy days, the umbrella is big enough but does she share? (NO!) and yet... Every little thing she does is magic!!
its akin to Shakespere's love sonnet where the object of his love has hair like wire and breath like onions...but he love her in spite of these things. Or maybe because of them too...the whole package "warts and all"
@eddieb A lifelong friend recently revealed to me that the song ends with a seemingly endless stream of my initials, EO. Since age 13 and for decades thereafter, I wore a signet ring inscribed with these initials, which became my nickname among high school friends in the 60s. Just today, I spotted your comment here. I suspect the initials in the lyrics likely refer to a female heartthrob who Sting wanted to specify as the girl in the song.
