It was written by Kenny Young and Ben Yardley . </P> <P> The song is unusual in its atmospheric use of sound effects (foghorn, ship's bell, Morse code) and features psychedelic instrumentation and treatments including electric sitar, backwards piano, filtered vocals and phasing . Lead singer Mary Aiese O'Leary told Mojo magazine in May 2008, "I thought it was horrible--the foghorn, the way they had changed my voice with effects . But I grew to like it, and it afforded the opportunity to go over to London...In America, it fizzled . People in England liked quirkier stuff, and' Captain of Your Ship' was quirky ." </P>
