Cage In a Cave

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
