"So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine."
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine."

This has always bugged me. Wine isn't a spirit,as we know. Whoever wrote the lyrics either knew that,but chucked the word in because it kind of rhymes,or because they're thick.:headshake:

I think those guys were remarkably smart tbh. 40 years on, they have the nos 1 & 3 in the all-time LP sales list.

Some wines can be fortified with spirit, of course, so maybe they meant that (tenuous, eh?!)

I still can't buy into the wine being a spirit thingy. Maybe they could've sang "So I called up the captain please bring me my tea. He said,we haven't had that hot beverage here since nineteen sixty three" :whistle:
