Lyrics

Nobody cares 'bout ocean affairs
He's by himself 'cause nobody loves him
Cleaning his sand filled boots with his hand
Looking for something but nothing sees him
Happy was he in spite of his knee
That wasn't there because of his day job
There was a man who took to the band
Paying attention tried to adhere him
And he ran, and he shot, but his rivals were sharp
And the kids in the sand struggled finding a plan
Seemingly fine, he sipped on his wine
Terror was healthy, but not on a mission
There was a sea, a mystical tease
Our cannons were shot 'til we couldn't afford them
Others would have died alone
Angels all worked free
Timeless fairs and sing-alongs
Speaking naturally
And he ran, and he shot, but his rivals were sharp
And the kids in the sand struggled deep hand in hand
All the way from the bay we can hear them say
"All the time we were dead and I'm Captain Splendid"
And he ran, and he shot, but his rivals were sharp
And the kids in the sand struggled deep hand in hand
All the way from the bay I could hear them say
"I don't care if we're dead, I am Captain Splendid"
