Captain's Courageous - The Levellers

Kick the sheets off

Get out of bed

Good morning

De ja vu

Is this the best thing

In my head

Good morning

Now what to do Look at my day

What’s the first appointment

Lunch in heaven

What a disappointment

CHORUS

I could run away

With Captain Courageous

I could live on fruit

In Montego Bay

I could run a bar

In a war torn front line

I could do it all

But just not today

Good morning T. V What’s been said

Around the world

Whilst I’m in bed

Nothing changes

Cos we’re still being fed

On little white lies

And stale white bread

Look at my day

What’s my next appointment

Dinner in hell

What a disappointment

I live for you

And you live for me For four hours

Every day

Another social misery

For hours and hours

(every day …)

I could free my mind

Become a rich mans guru

I could take the time

To feed the world

Could drink all day

Until I find

All the answers

I could do it all

But just not today …
