Richard Ashcroft - Captain Rock lyrics

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 sh** Manufactured dreams Designed to pacify me Just like it really is Yeah, straight to the point There's no time to be wasting We gotta move it Gimme what you got Don't tell me what I need I know I need to breathe I'm walking on my own In a city far away From my love, every day Tick the tockin' in my mind I am crying all the time ‘Cause this is how it really is When you give a f**ing sh** And you really hear And you're drinking cold beer in Italia Yeah, buying some sh** Get some Mexican beads Yeah, to give me my dreams I was a-praying there By the Church of Saint Mark's Trying to find myself But I'm still cracking up That'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 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 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? 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 sh** You'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, I'm naked in front of ya And I know that I'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 sit alone And I wear the crown, I wear the crown They call me Captain Rock, I sit alone I wear the crown, I wear the crown They call me….
