captain rock

Richard Ashcroft

Yeah

I was walking through the italian quarter
I could see all the tinsel
The red and the white and the green

So tell it like it really is
No hollywood shit
Manufactured dreams
Designed to pacify me

Just like it really is
Yeah, straight to the point
Thereââ?¬â?¢s no time to be wasting
We gotta move it
Gimme what you got
Donââ?¬â?¢t tell me what I need
I know I need to breathe
Iââ?¬â?¢m walking on my own
In a city far away
From my love, every day
Tick the tockinââ?¬â?¢ in my mind
I am crying all the time

ââ?¬Ë?cause this is how it really is
When you give a fucking shit
And you really hear
And youââ?¬â?¢re drinking cold beer in italia
Yeah, buying some shit
Get some mexican beads
Yeah, to give me my dreams
I was a-praying there
By the church of saint markââ?¬â?¢s
Trying to find myself
But Iââ?¬â?¢m still cracking up

Thatââ?¬â?¢s how it really is
When you really need soul
You gotta come to the man they call
The captain of the show
Ah ah oh, ah ah oh
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
Ah ah oh, ah ah oh
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
Ah ah oh, ah ah oh
They call me captain rockââ?¬â?¢ did you not know?
Ah ah oh, ah ah oh
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
Ah ah oh, ah ah oh

Did you not know? did you not know?
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
Did you not know? did you not know?
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
Did you not know? did you not know?

I tell it like it really is
No hollywood shit
Youââ?¬â?¢ve got the northern soul
I am the crock of gold
I give you rainbows
I give you strange bad spells
Give you pains in your head
Yeah, I break it all up
Oh, me and you, we got things to share
Things that we should get in the air
I been thinking too many bad things
I know you see it in my eyes, everything
Oh oh oh, Iââ?¬â?¢m naked in front of ya
And I know that Iââ?¬â?¢m affronting ya, with all my sins

Baby, let me go, let me go, let me go
They call me captain rock, now let me go
Let me go, oh oh oh
They call me captain rock, did you not know?
I sit alone, I sit alone
They call me captain rock, I
