Cage In A Cave Songtext / Lyric

Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave

On the northern tip of the island

It was sort of a privacy place

When he'd go there nobody could find him

Humiliation was imminent

He'd rather die than be sent back to England

From this height he'd conduct his last fight

Should a ship be sent in to pursue them



Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave,

And he'd go there to be alone



Up a narrow and dangerous path to his mountainside cavern obsession

He'd paint a picture, he'd comb his hair

Anything to relieve his depression

"Let history witness my honor is tossed

And my men are all lost by extension."



Fletcher Christian, he'd go to his cave when he needed to be alone

In a cage in a cave

In a cage in a cave






Oh, it's next to the water

Oh yeah, he's Thursday's father

Guess what his defense is?

He's built himself a barricade of logs



Sick of the backbiting

And all the in-fighting

Each sailor, he wants his own way

If the island is his kingdom

Where is all his freedom?

Tahitian women are not all they say



To fits of melancholy, he was increasingly prone

In thinking back on what he'd done, he should have known

That left to their own devices

This kind of rabble would kill for a wife and

He knew why Captain Bligh had gone off the deep end

When they'd sent him back home



Fletcher Christian, he found him a cave and he'd go there to be alone

In a cage in a cave

In a cage in a cave

In a cage in a cave
