Does he mean gems like this?

Ill send an SOS to the world
Ill send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

sending out an SOS (repeat and fade)

The Police were OK but lets be realistic.

That might not be one of his best songs, but Sting is a pop music master. He was mostly annoying in his interviews during his concert movie "Bring on the Night," but his songs were fantastic. Listen to him sing "I Burn For You" sometime.

Well the music in that song and very effective and conveys the tension that those repeated lines don't really do on their own.

De do do do, de 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

I agree with Sting to a point but still...

It's a simple song until you think that the synchopations are morse code...
