1.
Roxanne
Possibly the most famous Police song, Roxanne gives full vent to Sting’s incredible range. As he wails her name, Sting truly gives a sense of longing that makes the song more potent.

Don’t Stand so Close to Me

King of Pain
Sting often incorporated his literary background (he was an English teacher before the Police hit it big) into the lyrics of Police songs, including this one. References to Oedipus and Midas fill out a full complement of tragic imagery that makes this song both beautiful and haunting.
