Captains' Courageous Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Look at my day
What's my next appointment
Dinner in hell
What a disappointment
[Verse 4]
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 .....

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

All the things in the world you could do, and yet some mornings you feel like you can't be bothered to do any of it. Procrastination song. Kind of sad when you think about it cuz there's so many wonders out there to explore :)
