MeurtreScene , it doesn't matter you have found it so late. It's great you've found it :) I agree with "dwitefry". We have to remember that Ian Curtis often wrote texts combining different influences. They could have double meanning or lead to many different subjects. That's why it is so hard to translate his lyrics. |

| Dave Matthews Band – Captain (Busted Stuff version) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
As I wrote under "Captain" it isn't a simple song about any "captain" or a simple story about a lover. I think Dave paints a portrait of a man who whishes to be a sole captain of his life. But his life without God is rather miserable. And in this context words "I don’t want your pity only the promise that you’ll stay with me tonight" give the full picture of a man who cries to God to be with him. Again I must say that I like the Lillywhite Version much much much more. |

When I was translating these lyrics to Polish language I was really striken that it isn't a simple song about a "captain of the ship" or a simple story about a lover who wants to leave his girl whenever he likes, more precisely when he's gone. I think Dave ment something else. He paints a portrait of a man who whishes to be a sole captain of his life. But his life without God is rather miserable. Ana in this context words "I don't want your pity just the promise that I'll be okay" give the full picture of a man who wants to decide, but the outcome is pitiful (just to puzzle a bit with words), so he doesn't need God's pity, but a promise that everything's going to end up well. Still stoneharted we might say. Because life's short he wants to use it having as much fun as he can. He puts aside everything what important is and he drowns in activities that are useless but pleasant. Very nice sexual comparisonnice - who can resist the beautiful spouse's (or girlfriend/boyfriend's) lips, arms, etc...? To say that I liked the Lillywhite Version better is not enough. I would rather say that I dislike the versions that were finally released on "Busted stuff". I really regreat that the Lillywhite session material wasn't the one that was put on the CD. |
