Occasionally I get on a singer/songwriter kick, and I recently found Kasey Chambers (from a "Sopranos" soundtrack, actually) I don't fully dig all of the stuff I've listened to, but I love this song and can't stop listening to it:

"The Captain"

Well, I don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I've kicked myself at times because I've lied
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell 'em I won't be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the Captain
And I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cause you're The Captain, I am no one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
To you

Well, I have handed all my efforts in
Searched here for my second wind
"Is there somewhere here to let me in?", I asked
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last

And you be the Captain
And I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cause you're The Captain, I am no one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
To you

Did I forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn't tried I tend to runaway and hide

And you be the Captain
And I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cause you're The Captain, I am no one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

'Cause you're The Captain, I am no one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

'Cause you're The Captain
And I am no one
And I owe one to you

	You’ve got your methods I’m done with trying to guess all your moves I’m going where you want me to go I’ve got nothing left to lose Now I don’t wanna suffer But that’s in fact the nature of the beast If you want to get to higher ground You got to get there on your knees Terry Taylor

Singing this song to a lover does not make much sense. And "The Captain" is capitalized. I have not done research as to Chambers beliefs...
