the Police -- Sting used to be an English teacher but this isn't supposed to be autobiographical.
"Don't Stand So Close to Me" is a famous 1980 song and hit single by the British pop group The Police. It concerns a schoolgirl's crush on her young teacher, including her obsession, teasing by friends, the teacher's nervousness about the situation.
The song deals with the mixed feelings of the teacher, his lust on one hand, and the inappropriateness leading to "strong words in the staff room; the accusations fly", and to the girl being teased. The proxemics-related title expresses the second feeling.
Although not quite as much so as another Police song, "Every Breath You Take", "Don't Stand So Close to Me" may be considered an example of a paranoia song because of the situation of the schoolteacher—trying to avoid temptation with the girl who lusts after him. The music and lyrics of the song were written by the lead singer of The Police, Sting, who had previously worked as an English teacher. In a 2001 interview for the concert DVD ...All This Time, Sting denied that the song is autobiographical.
The line... "Just like the old man in that (famous) book by Nabokov" ...alludes to Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel 'Lolita'.
