Lyrics for Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | He was a fugitive with a pseudo name
Lost his mind in a hurricane
Coconut upside his
head
People said he'd be better dead
Cause his glory days are gone
Sits on the shore
with his saxophone
and plays
In another place, in another time
He was a soldier in
his prime
On the battlefield, makin' history
Young men died for his destiny
And their
widows came each day
Till he was forced to run away
From home
So he bought a town,
but he sold the sea
Claimed a shallow victory
On an iron ship, with a wooden crew
They
hit the reef when the moon was new
Now he cries himself to sleep
On a beach made of promises
he meant to keep
Long ago
Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More
Nobody talks about
the war
Hey what the hell were we fighting for
Such a long long time ago
And now
the monkeys and the iguanas
They listen to his song
A most uncaptive audience
He plays
to all night long
So the story goes, he was dressed to kill
When he jumped from the old
mahogany mill
And the jungle beasts, they were heard to wail
As the saxophone still played
the scale
For a man they never know who looked like me and you
Long ago
Nobody
Speaks To The Captain No More
No one is interested in settling old scores
Hey what the hell
were we fighting for
Such a long, long time ago
Nobody Speaks to The Captain No
More
No one is interested in settling old scores
Hey what the hell were we fighting
for
Such a long time ago. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
