Flaming Lips, The - The Captain Lyrics






Yes sir, I know things are really bad
But this one here won't make it to the lab
He's too weak to speak, I apologize
For not being quicker to decide
But I'm not looking for excuses
And I don't want to be a nuisance
If you would make just one exception

Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold
Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold

Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold

Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold
Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold

Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold

Instead of being bold about it
The Captain's being cold

  7. P.... B....

    Fuck Yeah!

  8. J.... ....

    Saw them perform this in Boise last week and it was one of the most inspiring, positive, and cathartic experiences I've ever had. Thank you Wayne, Stephen, Michael and the rest of the group for bringing such wonderful sounds into this world.

  9. o.... ....

    Definitely the best song they played last night in their Ogden UT show!!

  10. A.... B....

    Wandered in here quite by chance. Straight to this song, as one would down a rabbit hole. Serendipity, yes, yes. And my, my, my I hear wonderous things of thrilling delight. You Flàming Lips young fellows, are a jolly talented bunch, aren't you? May I delve deeper into your promising reportoire?

  11. L.... B....

    "Take This Brother, May It Serve You Well"

  12. L.... B....

    My gawd ive missed this Band So So So Much!😢

  13. m.... ....

    I love that song but I really can't relate to that particular lineup.

  14. C.... L....

    Omg finally! This song has been in my head since watching 'Fearless Freaks' and now it's here

  15. D.... y....

    The flaming lips present the flaming cymbal. 💋

    D.... y....

    which they ripped from The ButtHole Surfers. If you got to rip - rip from the best.

  16. L.... D....

    whoa. Ive been waiting for a song like a superman. This is tasty. Now i remember who my favorite band ever is. Nice to hear a classic flaming lips arrangement. Rock one in the 39th dimension.1liove

  17. O.... C....

    if they could make a song like this again, i could rest in peace...not the fucking same song, but something ...SPECIAL!! REAL and UNREAL at time!! love you guys!! keep my faith..thanks for every fucking amazing minute of music you brought in to my life..see you in heaven,or out there space,or wherever..

  18. C.... C....

    “Soft Bulletin” is my generation’s “Pet Sounds”.

  19. b.... m....

    Brilliant ❤

  20. L.... M....

    For those who got excited for a sec cause they didn't know already (like myself). This ain't new, it's a rare cut from The Soft Bulletin.

  21. L.... E....

    EXTASIS

  22. K.... K....

    Without The Abandoned Hospital Ship, how can they call this a greatest hits album?

  23. C.... .....

    🦟 🦠 🥭 🥬 🥯 🧂 🥮 i wish wayne would like my music on my channel.

  24. G.... ....

    IN A PRIEST DRIVEN AMBULANCE isn't just their best album, it's one of the ten best albums of all time. Not one song from that album. Must be a contract thing with Warner Brothers.

    G.... ....

    GeniusImmortal
    100% has to be. WB hasn't touched ANYTHING pre- *Future Head*. The Lips are remedying that somewhat, at least, by remastering and re-releasing ALL of their old stuff through Rhino Records.
    Look up *Seeing the Unseeable*.

    G.... ....

    Evan Tsilimidos that is absolutely incredible news.

  25. L.... M....

    buncha clueless bungholes up in here

    L.... M....

    lmao yep

  26. F.... G....

    See you in Galway! Your concert will be the first for my daughter (6). I'm looking forward to it!

  27. B.... C....

    Old school Lips

    B.... C....

    middle school lips

  28. M.... ....

    Ahh, I'd really have liked to have seen If I Go Mad (Funeral in My Head) or Gold in the Mountains of Our Madness on one of these.

    M.... ....

    MrKneller Gold in the Mountain is my favourite Mystics era track

  29. M.... W....

    A song that is not hidden in a jam!!!? Good stuff.

  30. S.... S....

    THE TICKETMASTER IS A COLD-HEARTED AND EGOTISTICAL FOOL... ☠💋

  31. C.... A....

    Le savoir-faire de ce groupe très talentueux est incontestable mais je n'arrive plus, depuis quelques temps, à percevoir la petite étincelle de génie pur qu'ils savaient si souvent s'approprier. Je me trompe ou ils commencent à fonctionner en pilotage automatique ?

  32. N.... F....

    genial!!!!! emocionante

  33. r.... ....

    Oh Sherrie, our love
    Holds on, holds on

  34. C.... C....

    You ain't hip if you don't dig The Flaming Lips...

  35. D.... R....

    So much better than the yum yum bullshit

  36. W.... ....

    When you realize you never made a video for the best song your band ever wrote 20 years later

    W.... ....

    W.... ....

    If a song ever needed the full on lazer lights flaming lips multi-coloured filter this was it

  37. P.... Z....

    1:06 The microphone is disconnected lol

    P.... Z....

    Uh. They use wireless mics now. It's called technology

  38. a.... m....

    Love you guys thanks for Eternally Touring... see you in Pittsburgh!

  39. m.... ....

    Hmmmmmmm....Me likes!

  40. A.... A....

    yeaaaa....I missed this version of The Flaming Lips

    A.... A....

    It is an outtake from the “Soft Bulletin” sessions.

  41. C.... G....

    A good song. I cannot tell if it is new.

  42. R.... ....

    Now just add it to your set list, guys.

    R.... ....

    IT WORKED GREAT FOR THE BUBBLE-INTRO AROUND 2K11. 🍭🍄🐌

    R.... ....

    They played the Captain in Eugene OR. Link >>> https://www.pscp.tv/w/bedehTF4bmpyWGxkcGV3UVl8MU1ZR05wd0VFUE54d59Ttgjb-OJOx3Q4AdUN_Xl71ptXZ1NPqyWbGkErG1n-

    R.... ....

    I WAS THERE, ALSO... ABOUT A FOOT BEHIND YOU.

  43. J.... B....

    More of these tracks! These are some of the best tunes! #funeralinmyhead #upabovethedailyhum

  44. R.... S....

    Its a greatest hits album

  45. R.... S....

    Classic!!!!!

  46. W.... J....

    Not bad

  47. j.... ....

    OMG its actually a real song...that's good. WELCOME BACK WAYNE.

    j.... ....

    jetfa9 Their last album was fantastic.

    j.... ....

    this is of soft bulletin companion

    j.... ....

    What's that even mean?

    j.... ....

    This song is actually 20 years old!

  48. c.... t....

    First he took the symbol idea. Now they've got 2 drummers. Struggling

  49. A.... ....

    Love the song <3

  50. a.... ....

    No matter how much I try to appreciate these drummers...I just can’t. It simply takes two of them to do what one of Steven or kliph can do

    a.... ....

    alexblue1989 They’re only in the video, though! This song is an outtake from the Zaireeka/Soft Bulletin sessions with Steven on drums.

    a.... ....

    One of favorite bands of all time but I do agree.

  51. P.... D....

    Awesome song, lots of love from Dallas.

  52. M.... F....

    I have been waiting for years for them to officially make this up front... One of their best songs sonically! Roll Tide

    M.... F....

    Money Fish1212 roll fucking tide? Eat a fucking turd

    M.... F....

    Ashley Hostetter. Didn't mean to trigger you lol

  53. p.... d....

    Yall oklahominz sure can bust out a tune!

  54. R.... S....

    Gorgeous, wow.

  55. F.... A....

    😍😍🕪🕪👿👿🎵🎶🎵

  56. J.... ....

    God damn, I love this song. Such a sad story.

  57. R.... B....

    Beautiful. Derek looking a little Ace Frehley for a moment in the back there.

  58. _.... ....

    i cant believe they brought back the flaming cymbal & one of my favorite songs this rules

    _.... ....

    An idea stolen from The Butthole Surfers

  59. l.... m....

    such a very cool song... but i don't understand... is it a new record? it sounds like a song from the soft bulletins' era

    l.... m....

    lorenzo megni It is. I’ve had this on a bootleg called The Soft Bulletin Companion Album for 19 years. It’s an outtake from the Zaireeka/Soft Bulletin sessions. Disc 3 of their upcoming Greatest Hits Volume 1 is all outtakes.

  60. A.... P....

    One of my all time favourite songs!

  61. C.... .....

    Beautiful! Always Beautiful! Just go with it. It's not weird. It's genuine.

  62. C.... .....

    👻👁👀🧠👙👑🕶 the best! Shout out!

  63. N.... ....

    SO POWERFUL, LOVE YOU, COME TO BRAZIL <3

  64. A.... P....

    Come to Uruguay

    A.... P....

    come to mars

    A.... P....

    it is more possible that they go to Mars before Uruguay

  65. D.... A....

    This sounds a Lot from "The soft bulletin"

    D.... A....

    It's an outtake from it, apparently it was the song that decided the overall musical themes of the Soft Bulletin

    D.... A....

    little bit of Terror too!

    D.... A....

    It was on the Soft Bulletin companion CD/ 'discs', which is worth looking up on file-sharing if you liked the Soft Bulletin.

    D.... A....

    It's on The Soft Bulletin 5.1 second disc

  66. J.... .....

    Wow Pittsburgh gets a lot of great shows.

    J.... .....

    We do, but they come here a lot in particular because Wayne's originally from here, before his family moved to Oklahoma when he was a kid.
