Sister Rosetta

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
We 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.

I see you 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
But kissin' and a scrubbin'
It has consequences.

You're on the bus again past Big Ben
With your rip off Oyster 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 playin'
The congregation insane
Drinkin' in the house with no name.

Capture the spirit
I gotta know right now
I see you before me
And won't you show me how?

Cause I am the landlord
You'll be my troubadour
Better before me
Won't you show me how, how?

You gotta capture the spirit
Cause I gotta know right now
I see you before me
Won't you show me how?

I am the landlord
And you'll be my troubadour
Was it better before me?
You just don't know how.

Capture the spirit
And let it all hang out
I see you before me
Darlin', show me now.

I am the landlord
And you'll be my troubadour
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Won't you show me how, how?
