Catch Me Now I'm Falling Lyrics
I remember
When you were down
And you needed a helping hand
I came to feed you
But now that I need you
You won’t give me a second glance
Now I’m calling on citizens from all over the world
This is captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now, I’m falling
I remember
When you were down
You would always come running to me
I never denied you
And I would guide you through your difficulties
Now I’m calling on citizens from all over the world
This is captain America calling
I built you up when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now, I’m falling
When you were through, you would come to me
And I would always pull you around
Now it’s your chance to do the same for me
And your secretary tells me sorry, but you’ve gone out of town.
This is captain America calling
This is captain America calling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now, I’m falling
I stood by you through all of your depressions
And I lifted you when you were down
Now it’s your chance to do the same for me
I call you up, and your secretary tells me that you’ve gone out of town
This is captain America calling
This is captain America calling
Catch me now, I’m falling
I was the one that built you up
Through all your depressions and difficulties
I never thought that you would let me down
But the next time you’re in trouble, baby
Do not come running to me
Now I’m calling all citizens from all over the world
This is captain America calling
I built you up when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now, I’m falling
When you were down
And you needed a helping hand
I came to feed you
But now that I need you
You won’t give me a second glance
This is captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
I’m in your hands, it’s up to you
Catch me now, I’m falling
When you were down
You would always come running to me
I never denied you
And I would guide you through your difficulties
This is captain America calling
I built you up when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I’m falling
Help me now I’m calling you
Catch me now I’m falling
Catch me now, I’m falling
When you were through, you would come to me
And I would always pull you around
Now it’s your chance to do the same for me
And your secretary tells me sorry, but you’ve gone out of town.

It is definitely about the U.S. in the late 1970s. We were in bad shape economically and socially. Having a few years earlier, just gotten through Watergate and Vietnam...and by the time of this song, dealing with the poor Presidency of Jimmy Carter and stagflation, we were down and out.
A great song that asks a great question "What would you do if your heroes needed your help?".
This is a great song. I love the part where they repeat: calling, falling very high. It's nice.
Such an awesome song....I love it. It sucks how Marvel killed Captain America
This isn't about Captain America the comic book character at all. It's about how the USA helps out every other country through their crises and when we need help other countries do not reciprocate. This song came out in the beginning of the 80's when America was in a recession much like we are now.
Having said that I think it's funny how he has a song about Captain America and about Superman on the same album.
Ray Davies writes on so many levels.
Awesome song. Goo Goo Dolls just did a great cover of it.
I agree that this is about how the USA helps out every other country, but when we need help other countries do not reciprocate. But in 1978 what help did we need from other countries? It feels like we're in worse shape internally today, but what help can other countries offer? Lend us more money? Lower tariffs? Lyrically a weak song.
@mike2 Oh yeah, mike. "Lyrically a weak song. " I'm sure Ray Davies could learn a lot from you. Seriously now. You're kidding, right?
