Budgie Captain
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
