The Police/Nightmare Fuel

"Many miles away
 * Hints in many songs, but "Synchronicity II" is probably the most nightmarish of their singles.

There's a shadow on the door

Of a cottage on the shore

Of a dark

Scottish lake..."


 * "Friends", a song about a man who befriends people and then eats them.
 * In a similar manner there's "Murder By Numbers" which is a jazzy tune about a serial killer.
 * There's also "Once Upon A Daydream," with copious amounts of Lyrical Dissonance. Perhaps not coincidentally, the previous three were all written or co-written by Andy Summers.
 * "Masoko Tanga", which is the Last Note Nightmare for their first album. Sting has (perhaps jokingly) referred to being hypnotised while playing the song, saying that the gibberish lyrics were cries from a past life.
 * "Shadows in the Rain" a song about schizophrenia (or heroin addiction) which is pretty much made of Fridge Horror.
 * "Tea in the Sahara," which ends with three sisters dying of thirst in the desert.
