Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you |
|
Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew |
|
Oh and I'll be with you |
|
I can scent the filthy seas, sulphur in the morning breeze |
|
How are we to find our way? Without your guiding hand I'll stray |
|
Round the mountains made of tyres, bridges stacked like Eiffel towers |
|
Somehow you will navigate, through the maze and out the gate. Away |
|
Health and safety pirates hide, like rag worm just above the tide |
|
for unsuspecting men like me, to nip and trip me as I flee. |
|
Voices call from swollen lungs, to other threats in other tongues |
|
Aliens from other worlds will meet us to exchange a word or two |
|
Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you |
|
Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew |
|
Oh and I'll be with you |
|
Somewhere is a far off land, with crystal water, golden sand |
|
And all the trees are full of fruit, light years from the grimy soot |
|
'till you say the final word, at the end of all known worlds |
|
you take my hand and comfort me, now we cross the endless sea |
|
Forever, ever |
|
Life is like an endless sea, I'll make it if I know you're with me |
|
We can take the highest wave with you I am safe |
|
Captain, captain, won't you take me round the world with you |
|
Captain, captain, on the love boat I will be the crew |
|
Oh and I'll be with you |
