The Extraordinaires - The Captain's Overture lyrics

I'd introduce myself but you already know by the flag that I'm flying overhead That I'm the captain of the finest ship in the ocean and I'm the finest man you ever met Well, I was born to lead these men - through the hard times right until the end And even god himself couldn't pull me from the wreckage if a hull breach he did send Because the open sea is home to me and I was born to sail And I'll eat hard tack biscuits and a jug of ale 'till we find - borderlines - beyond the tide Somewhere in that horizon line Well, this is Alfred Payne he's our miserable cook that destroys his utensils when he's mad And over there that's Oswald the one handed gunner - we call him that because he lost a hand And over here this group is the Burgandy Boys they're a gang from an island off the coast And then there's Murdoc, Cody, Rich, and Mr. Mola**es, And lastly there's your chipper charming host You may have noticed one small trend - all the members that I mentioned are men And though I love this crew it's a lonely situation every night when I'm alone in my bed And I betray this ocean when I dream of her - with curves of white washed pearls But I long to find a strong yet fragile girl Then I imagine what would happen if I met her could I let her Tie me down with twine and French perfume One more anchor one foot in my tomb And then I wake up wishing I was still asleep and walking hand in hand With the girl I see in reoccurring dreams but I've got - bigger fish - because this Ain't nothing that a shot of tequila couldn't fix Off in the distance the hum of propellers as an aeroplane emerges from the sky Weigh that anchor, we're heading for shore, it's about time I bought some new supplies
