Everybody,
listen to me,
and return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've been lost now,
days uncounted,
and it's months since,
I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
or am I all alone?
If you return me,
to my home port,
I will kiss you,
mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
to the port, of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming,
or are you really scheming,
to take my ship away from me.
You'd better think about it,
I just can't live without it,
so please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can feel the hand,
of a stranger,
and it tightening,
around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
take this stranger, from my boat.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
and return me, my ship,
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm getting closer to my home.
I'm getting closer to my home.

Grand Funk Railroad was the first American Band to earn 10 consecutive platinum albums.

For them to NOT be recognized by The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a DISGRACE!!!!

[PackedFunk]

Linda Ronstadt, Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, Rush, are being blackballed while Grandmaster (Who?) Flash are in with open arms????

Tell me the logic behind that???

And Madonna????? I don't even want to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PackedFunk]

The Huffington Post just wrote an article about Grand Funk being blackballed by The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Go to their site & search:

How lame is The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?

Thanks Funk Fans!!!

R&RHOF are fools. They told me GFRxR was not a big influince. I honestly can NOT think of a band in the '70's that was a bigger influince to a young person wanting to start a band than GFRxR. Every young man in the 70's wanted to be like Mark Farner. He was iconoclast.

I think when something can not be explained in life, such as the way R&RHOF acts. It can almost always be traced to envy. GFRxR was sell-out 25,000-50,000 seat arenas nightly, when other bands couldn't sell-out a 500 seat club.

Rappers in the Rock n Roll hall of fame is a joke, Rap is not rock n roll, and I personally have nothing against rap. But they would not put rock n roll on the Rap charts, so why does it get put in the Rock N Roll hall of fame. Please sign the petition for GFR to get in, long over due.

Lets get em in they belong in RandR hall of fame way more than some rapper and Madonna of all people!!!

[jackHNv]

Why is there not a DVD of the reunion gigs? This sounds fantastic.

[jussaguy1]

How can they NOT be in thr rnr hof? and madonna is?

[krharleyrider55]

I am sorry for those I offend, but rap is not even music.

[jackHNv]

Top, top top top top song! God, I wish I'd been there for this.

GFR are hardly known in the UK, but my band play this purely because it's a fnatastic song and we love it - as a classic rock song of the 70s this is up there with Stairway To Heaven, why can't they bury there differences, reform and tour Europe?

[jackHNv]

Top, top top top top song!

[jackHNv]

@WestMaroon I agree completely, GFR are the best band the USA has ever produced, and Tull are the best British rock band ever, the fact that neither are in the HOF shows what a futile, useless exercise it is! If it's any comfort the only country that places any importance on,HOF-type things is the USA, over here we don't care, we just listen to the music and know!

[ranran19701]

The Beastie Boys!...??????? wtf

[johnnybagofdonets]

Greatest Rock band of all time….no-brainer

[devildoc225]

The RRHOF can go suck a fat one. The simple fact is this: The day Shea Stadium was torn down, the record Grand Funk set of the fastest selling concert of all time at the Stadium, was NEVER broken. The reason for that is a simple one... They have always been loved by the people. That is something far better then being included in the RRHOF.
