Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so.much heartache he can take
Many miles away
Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

simultaneously rubbish and pretentious but that's Sting for ya
I had not read the lyrics until this morning when I saw them listed under the YouTube video, and I thought the same thing. I remember thinking this video was very tough and cool when it came in the early 80's, but then you have Sting singing about rice crispy's. The video content doesn't really seem to fit the lyrics at all, but still a cool video and song.
