Captain
this seems so impossible
Values over bullets over blood
Acting by the measures sweeping the land
Captain is the pleasure in the wrong
You dressed in the robes of gold
20,000 Fools
The
captain took up his pleasure
Sipping the fruit of the wine
Reading, rehearsing, the slogans of war
Lay down your head child there's room on the floor
You dressed in the robes of gold
20,000 Fools
…will
you be the man to hold up your son
when all is lost but life
You gallant, handsome, so wild
20,000 Fools
The
captain surrenders the night time
Far from the realm of our thoughts
Sailing over, sailing beyond
Now I shall make you mine
You fanciful, dandy, still wild
20,000 Fools

The oldest song on the album. So often I find
I read a novel and the following song bears heavily on that experience,
in this case Gabriel Garcia Marquez's '100 Years of Solitude' - a highly
recommended novel.
