Hopefully the mods won’t find anything wrong with the lyrics as I can’t find a trace of them on the sites I visit. Yet I don’t think it is an obscure song.
The lyrics?
'Sittin watchin the late night movies
You’re the captain without a crew…
You’re the captain with nothing to lose.
Captain, captain what the hell you gonna do.
Captain, captain, the years are catching up to you.’.
Well I see this elicited a lot of answers. However, some older Australians have probably heard it. After a lot of research someone (not me) was able to find out that it is called Captain Captain (Empty Horses) by Moscos and Stone which hit our charts in October 1978.
