Sting is set to sing Grant and Naylor’s satirical version of Every Breath you Take, entitled Every Bomb You Make at one of tomorrow’s Live8 concert.I can’t wait, to be honest. The name of the song makes it sound a bit bland and by the books SATIRES, but this is Rob and Doug we’re talking about here - arguably the best thing that ever happened to Spitting Image, writing wise. I’m sure it’s good (I’ve not heard the original).
I’ll hopefully have an MP3 and AVI of the song uploaded sometime tomorrow and linked to from here. I’m not sure if Live8 actually want donations but if they do, I’ll donate something to justify my THEFT.
Alternatively, watch BBC TWO from 1pm to see it live for yourself!
Until then, the lyrics:
Every bomb you make,
Every job you take,
Every heart you break, every irish wake,
I’ll be watching you,
Every wall you build,
Every one you’ve killed,
Every grave you’ve filled, all the blood you’ve spilled,
I’ll be watching you,
Oh, can’t you see,
You belong to me?
EDIT: Sting didn’t sing the Grant Naylor lyrics, in the end. Instead he opted to simply insert the word ‘democracy’ into his famous stalker song. Great.

Searching on Google, TOS said the lyrics were “substantially written” by Rob and Doug.
With a writing team like Spitting Image, it’s always going to get slightly confusing who wrote what…
Incidentally, my favourite comment on this song is on the ever-intelligent YouTube, definitely the best user community ever on the internet honest ever:
OMG, i cant belive that these people have NO appreciation for all the great things our hardworking and brave leaders do for the world

That’s interesting, Jonbhoy. The link to the official story doesn’t seem to work any more so I can’t remember if I just *assumed* Rob and Doug wrote the bulk of the lyrics or whether it was RD.co.uk who were mis-informed, too…
