Sister rosetta (capture the spirit) - Noisettes

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

Answer your 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 a scrubbin
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”

Cos 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 to the house with no name

You gotta capture the spirit, I gotta know right now I see you before me, won’t you show me how I am the landlord, 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, wont you show me how Cause I am the landlord, and you’ll be my troubadour 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, You’ll be my troubadour Oh oh oh oh oh, wont you show me how, how?

Don't give up - Noisettes

Sometimes they’ll want to cut you down
Betta scratch that itch cos the time is now
They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel
If you want to keep up can you afford to feel?

When the system’s wrong you gotta tear it down let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown
To the stars in the moonbeams glare Shackles on your feet gonna disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can’t you see baby life’s knocking right at your door
Oooh I just don’t know for sure.
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?

Don’t give up don’t give up
Don’t give up don’t give up
Don’t give up don’t give up
Don’t give up don’t give up

She’s got a talented face and a suitcase
Ain’t got no desire to go no place
In her case she’s got no desire with her hand in the flame say’s she don’t feel the fire
To the ‘yes’ in the evenings air demons in your head got to disappear
To the stars under the moon means glare
The Shackles on your meat will disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can’t you see baby life’s knocking right at your door
She said, “Oooh I just don’t know for sure”
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
