LYRICS:

Long ago when I was just a lad

The other boys hated me, said I made them mad.

I guess I didn't fit in with the norm.

I'll never know why people are so desperate to conform.

Then I remembered something that you said.

Those 9 words of yours stuck inside my head.

You said "Prince Charming, ridicule is nothing to be scared of"

So I took it as a rule.

I slipped on my finest suit.

Shined up my pirate boots.

Put a medal on my lapel.

I thought of you and gave them hell.

We're captains all and we run this show

And we only sail where we want to go.

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like pirates drifting out at sea.

All of us have weathered through a storm.

You know they say what doesn't kill you often makes you better.

We live to tell and carry on.

After all, it's nothing but a touch of nasty weather.

Some of us are still around.

You're still the dandy highway man that they're too scared to mention.

And when you board you make us proud.

It's "Admiral on deck!" and we're standing at attention.

I slipped on my finest suit.

Shined up my pirate boots.

Put a medal on my lapel.

I thought of you and gave them hell.

We're captains all and we run this show

And we only sail where we want to go.

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like pirates drifting out at sea.

That's right we're captains all, we run this show

And we only sail where we want to go.

If you have orders, oh!

Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own!

As for the ones whom we adore,

Those of our friends who still are lost out in the storm.

We raise a glass to you

And leave on a light or two

In case you ever make it home

There's always room on board because...

We're captains all and we run this show

And we only sail where we want to go.

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like pirates drifting out at sea.

That's right we're captains all, we run this show

And we only sail where we want to go.

If you have orders, oh!

Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own!

The first time I heard this song, I didn't like it much. After 100+ listens I am now ready to declare it my favorite song of all time.

I've liked Voltaire's stuff for a while now, but this tribute to Adam Ant sends my respect for him through the roof.

as a member of the Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster and a full fledged pirate, I greatly appreciate you getting the word out on how TRUE pirates act. Thieves and criminals we are not, we are merely peaceful explorers that have been tarred and feathered by the Christian church for over a thousand years!

So I understand this song is a sort of tribute to Adam Ant, and I know it's full of references. The ones I'm getting are the dandy highwaymen (Stand and Deliver) and Prince Charming. Although I'm fairly sure I'm missing some others. Can someone point them out to me?

Okay, when I first heard this song the only thing I could think of was how it described a character from one of my favorite book series.Jarlaxle Baenre from the Legend of Drizzt. Seriously, the lyrics just come off to me as something the guy would say and do when going off into adventure... even when he shouldn't.
