Текст песни: The Captain's Overture + перевод

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. Molasses

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
