"Bad poets borrow. Good poets steal." ; )
Sting names William Blake and Blake's view on religion as an inspiration to this song in his book "Lyrics".
Actually, I think the whole lyrics read like a poem, I love them, and I feel they were somehow wasted on the disco-like music.
"You see the stars are moving so slowly
But still the earth is moving so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely
She's still trapped in the pain of the past"
Great lines! They pretty much sum up the time we live in - in a very poetic way. For those who prefer prose, there's the "no religion but sex and music ..." paragraph. ; )
