Camera Obscura - "French Navy" official video

  • 0:04 - 0:07
    Spent a week in a dusty library
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    Waiting for some words to jump at me
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    We met by a trick of fate
  • 0:14 - 0:20
    French navy, my sailor mate
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    We met by the moon on a silvery lake
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    You came my way
  • 0:27 - 0:32
    Said I want you to stay
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    You with your dietary restriction
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    Said you love me with a lot of conviction
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    I was waiting to be struck by lightning
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    Waiting for somebody exciting
  • 0:45 - 0:51
    Like you, all the things that you do
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    You make me go ooooh
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    With the things that you do
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    You do, you do, woah woah
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    I wanted to control it
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    But love I couldn't hold it
  • 1:05 - 1:09
    I wanted to control it
  • 1:09 - 1:14
    But love I couldn't hold it
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    I'll be criticised for lending out my heart
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    I was criticised for letting you break my heart
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    Why would I stand for disappointed looks
  • 1:24 - 1:30
    Fully grown, but I'm all on tender hooks
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    Oooh, with the looks
  • 1:33 - 1:37
    On tender hooks
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    Ooooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    I wanted to control it
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    But love, I couldn't hold it
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    I wanted to control it
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    But love, I couldn't hold it
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    Relationships were something I used to do
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    Convince me they are better for me and you
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    We met by a trick of fate
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    French navy, my sailor...
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    I wanted to control it
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    But love I couldn't hold it
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    I wanted to control it
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    But love I couldn't hold it
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    I wanted to control it
  • 2:40 - 2:44
    But love I couldn't hold it
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    I wanted to control it
  • 2:47 - 2:53
    But love I couldn't hold it
