Camera Obscura "French Navy" letra

French Navy

Spent a week in a dusty libraryWaiting for some words to jump at meWe met by a trick of fateFrench navy, my sailor mate

We met by the moon on a silvery lakeYou came my waySaid, "I want you to stay."

You and your dietary restrictionSaid you loved me with a lot of convictionI was waiting to be struck by lightningWaiting for somebody exciting

Like youOh, the thing that you doYou make me go, "Oooh"With the things that you do, you do, you do

I wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold itI wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold it

I'll be criticized for lending out my artI was criticized for letting you break my heartWhy would I stand for disappointed looksFooling all but I'm on tender hooks, ooh with the looksOn tender hooks,Ooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks

I wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold itI wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold it

Relationships were something I used to doConvince me they are better for me and youWe met by a trick of fateFrench navy, my sailor-

I wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold itI wanted to control itBut love, I couldn't hold it
