Scarred song.

Scarborough Fair jumped out at me as it was one of my favourite songs by them.

It is funny but I thought it was a love song when I first heard it because simply, I loved it. Then I heard Art Garfunkel do a solo version several years later and it reminded me it was actually a hate song, in the mould of 'When hell freezes over.' It is also like Sting's song, when with The Police, 'I'll Be Watching You.'This was a song about stalking based on his break up with his then girlfriend, Frances Tomelty.*

If you mean Scarborough Fair, being English one knows this already. If you mean Sting's song, with a sting in it, no I wasn't aware it was a folk song
