Perfect Love Gone Wrong Lyrics

Lyric discussion by WhiteWolfDief 

Cover art for Perfect Love Gone Wrong lyrics by Sting

As I love dogs, I just gotta love the song! : ) I adore Sting for picking up this sad topic of a dog becoming unimportant and singing it from the dog's point of view!

This paragraph for example is perfectly sad and touching:

I howl all night and I sleep all day It takes more than a biscuit, baby, to chase these blues away I've got a long enough leash I could almost hang myself It's a dog's life loving you baby

What confused me when I first listened to the song and what I find quite funny is that even Sting's dog seems to have attitude. g It's quite unusual for a dog to say things like:

  • I'll wear my best collar to his funeral
  • Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree

: D Don't get me wrong, I still love these lines from a lyrical point of view!
