Sting’s words become a book

The lyrics of Sting, almost every word he wrote, from his solo records to his years with the Police, will come out in book form this fall.

“Lyrics by Sting” will include the words of such hits as “Roxanne,” “Every Breath You Take” and “Spirits in the Material World,” along with commentary by Sting.

“Over time, the meaning of a song can continue to reveal itself,” Sting, the bassist and lead vocalist for the Police, said Monday in a statement released by the Dial Press, an imprint of the Bantam Dell Publishing Group.
