When I first heard this song, I didn't have much of an idea where it came from (inspirationally speaking), cause I didn't get that Nabokov part listening to it (no net back then, so no lyrichs). And when I later found out Sting used to be a teacher at a Girl school, I said "Well, no wonder". But I was a bit in shock ("He couldn't have! She must have been like, 15!")
But I later reab an interview (yes, I had net, finally), and Sting denied having such an afair when a fan asked him about it. I was so relieved! :)
