Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'And what would it mean to say...I loved you in my fashion?'

Answer: 'Why Should I Cry For You'

From 1991's 'The Soul Cages.'

2. 'And history reeks of the wrongs we have done'

Answer: 'Consider Me Gone'

From Sting's first solo album, 1985's 'The Dream Of the Blue Turtles.'

3. 'I'm as dark as December...I'm as cold as the man in the moon.'

Answer: 'The Hounds Of Winter'

The opening track to 1996's 'Mercury Falling,' and one of my favorite Sting songs ever.

4. 'I think they're working far too much for the redundancy of touch'

Answer: 'Straight To My Heart'

From 1987's '...Nothing Like the Sun.'

5. 'Pick my brains, pick my pockets'

Answer: 'Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me)'

The last track on 1995's 'Ten Summoner's Tales,' and one of the songs I'd like played at my funeral, if you please. =)

6. 'But then who comes upon the scene, but your new boyfriend, Mister Clean'

Answer: 'Big Lie Small World'

From 1999's 'Brand New Day.'

7. 'You probably thought or even wished that I was dead'

Answer: 'Fortress Around Your Heart'

The final track on 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles.' Vintage Sting.

8. 'Men go crazy in congregations, but they only get better one by one'

Answer: 'All This Time'

From 'The Soul Cages.'

9. 'Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do?'

Answer: 'She's Too Good For Me'

Easily the funniest track from 'Ten Summoner's Tales.'

10. 'Every day another miracle...only death will keep us apart'

Answer: 'The Lazarus Heart'

The opening track of '...Nothing Like the Sun.'

11. 'An endless turning stairway climbs to a tower of souls'

Answer: 'A Thousand Years'

The opening track of 'Brand New Day.'

12. 'I orphaned his children...I widowed his wife'

Answer: 'I Hung My Head'

From 'Mercury Falling,' this song is about a young man who accidentally (?) shoots a man dead with his older brother's rifle.

13. 'With every prison blown to dust, my enemies walk free'

Answer: 'Mad About You'

This song, from 'The Soul Cages,' is told from the point of view of King David. (Check your local bible for details.)

14. 'Corpulent generals, safe behind lines...history's lessons drowned in red wine'

Answer: 'Children's Crusade'

A heartbreaker from 'The Dream Of the Blue Turtles.'

15. 'IQ is no problem here...we won't be playing Scrabble for her hand, I fear'

Answer: 'Seven Days'

Another amusing offering from 'Ten Summoner's Tales', written in -- perhaps appropriately, given the title -- 7/4 time.

16. 'I've been to every single book I know to soothe the thoughts that plague me so'

Answer: 'Be Still My Beating Heart'

From '...Nothing Like the Sun.'

17. 'He won't care for you this way...He'll mistreat you if you stay'

Answer: 'When We Dance'

One of the two new tracks included on 1994's greatest hits collection, 'Fields Of Gold: The Best Of Sting 1984-1994.' (The other one was the far less impressive "This Cowboy Song.")

18. 'Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime'

Answer: 'I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying'

From 'Mercury Falling,' this one's a rather wry look at the life of a divorced man dealing with his ex-wife's new, happy life. Given that Sting and Trudie Styler have been together for over 20 years now, he must have been theorizing or channeling when he wrote this one.

19. 'I never saw no miracle of science that didn't go from a blessing to a curse'

Answer: 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You'

The opening track of 'Ten Summoner's Tales.'

20. And finally, finish this line from 'Englishman In New York': 'I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear...I like my toast done __________.'

Answer: on one side

From '...Nothing Like the Sun.'
