The 1980 hit (both in the US and UK) that despite the nonsensical title, has very poetic lyrics to explain why simple lyrics are needed.
From the 1980 very successful album Zenyatta Mondatta which also yielded another big hit, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”
Per Sting in 1988 Rolling Stone Intervie...
[Verse 1]
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[Verse 2]
Poets, priests, and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
