Rum Is For Drinking, Not For Burning Lyrics

This captain goes down with the ship,
All hands on deck stand hip to hip,
I shout the orders "shoot to kill",
And I'm dressed to thrill,
I'm dressed to thrill.

And all my enemies,
I want their eyes to see,
Their captain walk the plank,
Destroy them rank by rank.

Sail with me into the setting sun,
The battle has been won,
But war has just begun.
And as we float,
Emotion starts to die.
We need to find a way,
Just to keep our desire alive.

Now set the sail to quarter mast,
We'll jump the ship,
We'll sink 'em fast.
Men follow me to victory,
Red as the sea,
Red as the sea.

And to the cannons roar,
Their bodies dance ashore,
A pirate's life for me,
We won't go quietly!

And to my damsel in distress,
You've made a mess of your new dress.
You've made a mess of your new dress.
You've made a mess!

Sail with me into the setting sun,
The battle has been won,
But war has just begun.
And as we float,
Emotion starts to die.
We need to find a way,
Just to keep our desire alive.
(I'm dressed to trill!)

I think this song as about the trials of marriage...at least the chorus.

Sail with me into the setting sun The battle has been won But war has just begun

*Basically he says marry him..they got through the hard stuff but there will be more to come

And as we float emotions start to die we need to find a way just to keep our desires alive

*Basically as they are along for the ride their love for one another is not as prominent as it once was. They need to find some sort of way to keep their love for one another alive...could also be talking about their sex life.

And to my damsel in distress, You've made a mess of your new dress. You've made a mess of your new dress. You've made a mess!

*more proof that the woman just got married in her new dress...

Not sure what the rest of the song is about though, but those parts sure seemed like it was about marriage.
