Captain Jack Lyrics

Song Text:

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
Tired of livin'
in your one-horse town
Like to find a little hole in the ground
For a
while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at
the junkies and the closet queens
It's just like some pornographic
magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And
take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just
a little push and you'll be smilin'

Your sister's gone out. She's on a
date
You just sit at home and masturbate
The phone is gonna ring soon but
you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in you
New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your
toes
But still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all

But
Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special
island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll
be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

So you decide to take a
holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah but there's
no place to go anyway
And what for...
You've got everything, but nothing's
cool
They've just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you
won't be going back to school
Anymore...

But Captain Jack will get you
high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you
by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah,
yeah

So you play your ALBUMs and you smoke your pot
And you meet your
girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you
have not got
What went wrong...
And if you can't understand why your world
is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well,
you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too
long...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to
your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little
push 'n' you'll be smilin'
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by
tonight
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
