Capricorn
Originally released by Motörhead on theier 1979 album Overkill.
Covered live by The Sisters of Mercy on various occasions in the late 1990s and early 2000s...
often in combination with I Didn't Know I Loved You ('til I Saw You Rock'n Roll),
most recently during their first encore @Suikerrock Festival, Tienen, Belgium in 2008.
Lyrics
A thousand nights, I’ve spent alone,
Solitaire, to the bone,
But I don’t mind, I’m my own best friend,
From the beginning, to the end,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
December’s child, the only one,
What I do, is what I’ve done,
I realise, I get so cold,
When I was young I was already old,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
I always knew, the only way,
Is never live, beyond today,
They proved me right,
They proved me wrong,
But they could never last this long,
My life, my heart, black night, dark star, Capricorn
