Reseña
El cuarto álbum de The Police se titula "Ghost in the Machine" y fue lanzado el 2 de octubre de 1981 por el sello A&M. El álbum fue producido por la banda, junto al productor británico Hugh Padgham, ganador de cuatro premios Grammy y que ha trabajado con artistas como XTC, el grupo Genesis, The Human League, Sting,The Police y Phil Collins, para el que consiguió dos Grammys en 1986 por el álbum "No Jacket Required".
Grabado entre la isla caribeña de Montserrat y Quebec, en Canadá, el álbum alcanzó el primer puesto en las listas británicas y el segundo en la estadounidense Billboard 200. En esta ocasión The Police hace un uso intenso de los teclados electrónicos. Todos los temas hacen uso de los sintetizadores.
El álbum está basado en el libro "The Ghost in the Machine", del escritor austro-húngaro Arthur Koestler, autor por el que el cantante de The Police siente especial predilección. El siguiente trabajo de la banda, "Synchronicity", también estaría inspirado en otra obra de Koestler.
El primer sencillo del álbum se titula "Invisible Sun" y fue lanzado el 25 de septiembre de 1981, con producción de The Police y Hugh Padgham. La canción fue escrita por Sting en Irlanda, donde residía en aquella época, en un momento álgido en la violencia del Ulster. Por su parte, Stewart Copeland vio reflejada en la canción a su ciudad natal, Beirut, devastada también por los bombardeos. En realidad es un tema que habla sobre los desastres creados por la guerra. El vídeo, prohibido en su momento por la BBC, muestra diferentes escenas del conflicto en Irlanda del Norte.
El segundo sencillo, "Every Little Thing, She Does Is Magic", fue el de mayor éxito del álbum, alcanzando el primer puesto en las listas británicas y el tercero en Estados Unidos. Escrita por Sting en 1976, destaca por la introdución de un piano, interpretado por Jean Roussel por imposición del propio Sting en contra del criterio de los otros dos miembros de la banda.
"Spirits in the Material World" se presentó como tercer sencillo del álbum "The Ghost in the Machine" el 11 de diciembre de 1981. Con los mismos productores que los sencillos anteriores, presenta sonidos jamaicanos que se transforman en rock en los coros. El tema fue escrito por Sting en un teclado, primera vez que componía con un sintetizador.
El tema hacía un uso amplio de los sintetizadores, en detrimento de la guitarra. De hecho, Andy Summers hace un papel secundario en esta canción en la que Sting no quería que participara.
El cuarto y último sencillo del álbum se titula "Secret Journey". Fue publicado en mayo de 1982. La letra, escrita por el vocalista de la banda, habla de un viaje místico en busca de una realidad espiritual y, según confesó el propio Sting, estaba basado en un libro del escritor armenio George Gurdjieff, titulado "Meetings with Remarkable Men".

[X]letra de Spirits in the material world
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
(4x)
We are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
(4x)
We are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
(8x)
We are spirits in the material world - Every little thing she does is magicVer letra 4:20
[X]letra de Every little thing she does is magic
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes onMúsicos invitados: Jean Roussel (Keyboards) - Invisible sunVer letra 3:43
[X]letra de Invisible sun
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an ArmaLite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everbody in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette
But I dont even want to die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be and invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done - Hungry For You (J'Aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)Ver letra 2:52
[X]letra de Hungry For You (J'Aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)
Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi
Jusqu’à ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouillés
Complètement couvert de sueur
Nous nous noyons dans la mare
Je n'ai aucun désir
Tu as ravage' mon cœur
Et mois j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Tout le monde est a moi
Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes
Et maintenant je m'en fous
C’était gagne' trop facilement
Ça y est alors ma belle traîtresse
Il faut que je brûle de jalousie
Tu as ravagée mon cœur
Et moi j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

Complètement couvert de sueur - Demolition manVer letra 5:54
[X]letra de Demolition man
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, [and] the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip
I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster
I'm a demolition man
You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need but I don't play that game
'Cos you could be my greatest fan
But I'm nobody's friend
I'm a demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip
I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster
I'm a demolition man

[X]letra de Rehumanize yourself
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death
'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanize yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that i can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
Billy's joined the national front
He always was (just) a little runt
He's got his hand in the air
With the other cunts
You've got to humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me

[X]letra de One world (Not three)
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
It's a subject we reraly mention
But we do we have this little invention
By pretending they're a difference world from me
I show my responsability
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there's no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
Oh
Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It's just a self deluding trick
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
Cause we're all in the same big boat
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday

One world - OmegamanVer letra 2:47
[X]letra de Omegaman
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I've heard in twenty years
The razor's edge of night it cuts into my sleep
I sit upon the edge now shall I make that leap?
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
The sky's alive with turned on television sets
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
The edge of time closes down as I disappear
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
Always talking to myself
The time that's best is when surroundings fade away
The presence of another world comes close to me
It's time for me to throw away this paper knife
I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the OmegamanComposición: Andy Summers - Secret journeyVer letra 3:32
[X]letra de Secret journey
Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man
His blindness was his wisdom
I'm such a lonely man
And as the world was turning
It rolled itself in pain
This does not seem to touch you
He pointed to the rain
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss
And on the days that followed
I listened to his words
I strained to understand him
I chased his thoughts like birds
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
You will see joy in this sadness
You will find this love you miss
And when you've made your secret journey
You will be a holy man

[X]letra de Darkness
I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I could make a mark if it weren't so dark
I could be replaced by any bright spark
But darkness makes me fumble
For a key
To a door
That's wide open
Instead of worrying about my clothes
I could be someone that nobody knows
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws till I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boringComposición: Stewart Copeland
