I Don't Want To Save The World
Encyclopedia
I Don't Want to Save the World is the fourth album by Cock Robin
and was released in 2006. It sees the reformation of the band after a 16 year hiatus. It features a selection of their trademark harmonic pop. The lyrics seem to be greatly influenced by personal relations and experiences spent since the last time the duo of Kingsbery and LaCazio shared a pop group. An example of this is "Italian Soul", which may be a take upon the consequences of meeting and working together after a long time apart (Anna LaCazio is of mixed Italian-Chinese descent). Apart from a few TV appearances in 2006 mainly, in France, the album was not widely promoted and as a result its sales have remained confidential.

/Kingsbery). This last song is a cover version of French singer-songwriter Michel Polnareff's song "Sous quelle étoile suis-je né ?"
