Pearl Jam - Love Boat Captain Lyrics






Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love.

  47. D.... J....

    I visit the memorial stone at Roskilde every year and cry some tears...

  48. D.... T....

    i love this song more than you love EF or Alive or Elderly Woman. And i don't know why.

  49. S.... B....

    Does anyone know that the line " we lost 9 friends we never known 2 years ago to today'' was a reference to rosklide when over crowding when he said take 2 steps back.

  50. N.... ....

    I wanna know a bit more about these videos... because it sounds live (it's definitely a different performance/mix than off the album). Some of the music doesn't line up with the footage but it's possible they just did a few takes (while rolling with multiple cameras), picked one as the master audio, and just edited together the best shots. Always enjoyed videos that weren't just simple lip syncing - similar to Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days" official video.

  51. D.... M....

    I love Eddie's Hair like this, you can see his beautiful face.

    lovely song......

  69. K.... H....

    these are not your dolls

  70. c.... c....

    I don't know anything about this band or rock, but the beat is pretty shway

  71. J.... R....

    This band should have hung it up in 1992... Even guns and roses had 2 good good album, this band only had the one

    J.... R....

    Ten is not Pearl Jam's best album. You've missed out on a lot of great music just because it wasn't on MTV.

    J.... R....

    I didn't know pearl jam was played on MTV.

  72. J.... G....

    "Oh stupid human beans"

  73. D.... G....

    Didn't know Jonathan Blow could sing..

  74. D.... M....

    all you need is love...

  75. L.... F....

    Love this piece.

  76. E.... P....

    ♪ We all lost 9 friends we'll never know... 17 years ago, today ♪

  78. Y.... C....

    Eddie looks like Michael from GTAV

  79. L.... A....

    I was there and didnt even notice the 9 young people who died there. Respect to Pearl Jam for giving them credit!

    L.... A....

    But i felt pretty bad that i complained about them stopping later when i knew what tragedy had happened.

  80. G.... M....

    Adelaide, Australia 2004. Wanted to hear 1 song specifically, Love Boat Captain. They played it first song (I still think you can hear me losing my sh*t right at the start on the bootleg!). When I heard the organ start I flipped out. The rest of the (3 hour) concert is a blur. Right up until they brought me back with Yellow Ledbetter to finish off. This band gets better with age. I was never a huge fan probably until Yield. Now I can listen anytime, any mood any moment.

  81. G.... ....

    São Paulo 14/11/2015, 3rd song. Best day ever.

  82. C.... E....

    To the universe I don't mean a thing but there's just one word that I still believe in and it's LOVE

  83. c.... ....

    all you need is LOVE

    c.... ....

    The Beatles ?

    c.... ....

    It was an absolute reference and great that it was in the crescendo and intentionally three times. Very emotional.

  84. E.... R....

    This song is so much needed today...

  85. c.... ....

    As good as nirvana  was ,,,no comparisons

    c.... ....

    GonzoDuke No comparisons please.

  86. y.... ....

    It's an art to live with pain.

  87. M.... V....

    69 people should study real MUSIC

    M.... V....

    f*ck yes lol

  88. T.... ....

    Honestly, pearl jam defined the 90s.

    T.... ....

    hell yea they did

    T.... ....

    Chris Mercuro nirvana?

    T.... ....

    Yeah, as well as Nirvana to be honest. And I think even PJ would make that distinction. But for me personally, it was both at the time. I was 16 in 1991. And still remember exactly where I was when I heard PJ the first time, and Nirvana. They are both legends of the 90's. My personal fav is PJ. Always has, always will. But I won't deny that epoch in music was laden with musical geniuses. And man, what a privilege it was to be a kid of the 90's.
    PJ is the only ones left standing from that era. And we are blessed. As well as saddened by how many amazing musicians we have lost over the years. Hope Eddie, Stone and the rest live to be 100. Peace.
