Lyrics The Red Cap - The Ark

The Red Cap

I see you’re not wearing your red cap anymore
Well I heard someone say you thought it was getting too small
Well, I wish I knew how to alter it
But I don’t know how to sew
So if you’d like to wear it
Then I guess it’s all up to you
Standing with your red cap on the barricades
I didn’t like you all that much before
But now since you’ve stopped wearing it
I dislike you even more
I’ve heard you’ve not played the guitar for fifteen years, soon
Well it’s hard, hard to play the guitar
When it’s way outta tune
Well, I wish I knew how to tune it
But I haven’t got the ear
So if someone’s going to do it
Then it’s you again, I fear
Standing playing guitar on the barricades
I didn’t like you all that much before
But now since you’ve stopped playing it
I dislike you even more
I’ve heard that you’re not singing songs anymore
But actually I don’t believe you when you say
It’s 'cause your throat is sore
You better open up your ear
'Cause there’s a new song coming in
And if you pick, pick up the tune
Maybe even I will join in
Standing singing songs upon the barricades
I didn’t like you all that much before
But now since you’ve let your dear songs die out
I dislike you even more
Standing with your red cap on the barricades
I didn’t like you all that much before
But now since you’ve stopped wearing it
I dislike you even more…
I see you’re not wearing your red cap anymore…
