—Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit) (2011 Version)
SONG OF THE DAY #018
She’s a caged animal / London by night / Crashing lights and cymbals / Queens of twilight And if I was you I’d use the loo before the long drive / And we’ll compliment each other just like Satan and Christ / Baby, when I am laid to rest / May my laughter remain / Like your kiss blew me away
Capture the spirit / I gotta know right now / I see you before me / Won’t you show me how
I wear my hair fizzy / I don’t copy no style / ‘Cause kissin’ and scrubbin’, it has consequences / You’re on the bus again / Past Big Ben and you’re playing the wild card / Tell your A.S.B.O. friend to sling his hook and “go make your girl smile” / ‘Cause baby, when I am laid in earth / May my laughter remain / Like your kiss blew me away / Left your scent on my pillow / Sister Rosetta was pained / The congregation insane / Drinkin’ to the house with no name
Capture the spirit / I gotta know right now / I see you before me / Won’t you show me now / ‘Cause I am a landlord and you’ll be my troubadour / Was it better before me? / Won’t you show me how, how?
You gotta capture the spirit / I gotta know right now / I see you before me / Won’t you show me now / I am the landlord and you’ll be my troubadour / Was she better before me? / You just don’t know how / Capture the spirit and let it all hang out / I see you before me / Won’t you show me love / I am the landlord and you’ll be my troubadour / Won’t you show me how, how?
