Captain Splendid 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 Cap' 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
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
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 shot
But his rivals were sharp
And the kids
in the sand
struggled finding a plan
he sipped on his wine
Terror was healthy but not on a mission
A mystical tease
Our cannons were shot
‘til we couldn't afford them
Angels all worked free
Timeless fairs and sing-alongs
Speaking naturally
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 Cap' Splendid
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

oh so beautiful. what does no one write here? i don't get it.. kara's flowers is soo good
i agree with u sweet, i love this song its my abso fave! karas flowers are great :)
I think this song is deeper than everyone thinks. I think it's about someone, possibly a teen, who is ignored, and he thinks no one cares. However, there is one person who does, and tries to show him more people do, but in the end, the kid kind of goes mental and rampages and kills a bunch of people, then himself, and feels splendid afterwards. Hence, Captain Splendid.
I could be wrong, but my interpretation is just, I assures you. :)
I agree. This song is realy deep once you actually listen to the lyrics. I love this song and Kara's flowers. I think it could br to do with a teen.. but i think that it is to do with a war maybe and maybe there are children involved trying to protect themselves and dying for their land hence,
'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' i dont know if im right but thats the impression i get.
I think the opening sounds similar to RHCP's "Under The Bridge" or is it just me
