It’s my favorite Sting rhyme/line and most likely a product of his English teacher background.
I confress that’s how I ended up finding out that Nabokov wrote Lolita.
I could just imagine Stewart Copeland rolling his eyes when he heard that one.
You mean the lyric from the song that goes:
“They’re booked but never caught?”
\sarc
Seriously, that was how I “heard” it for decades....
