about

Unused song from an early version of the Captain Cook musical: William, having secured place on Captain Cook’s crew for the third voyage, reveals to his wife, Marguerite, his plan to make them both rich by being observant and writing an expose about the famous captain.

Fits in with the album theme as it's about two characters are basically scheming to try and write a book about Captain Cook and cash in on his fame. William and Marguerite aren't content with their lot and they seek fame and fortune.

lyrics

I’LL FIND WHERE THE REAL TRUTH LIES
(Music: Tim Hunter; Lyrics: Frederick McKinnon and Tim Hunter)

(William)
My little red book is more than a history
where all is told it will be sold
the tale of Cook’s soul’s mystery

I will look inside his mind to see what secrets i will find
I will search inside his heart to see what passions play a part
I will peer inside his soul, a book of revelations, my goal
I’ll be aboard his next trip, I schemed my way on to that ship

On a ship, only so long and wide
if one looks and sometimes hides
using his ears and always his eyes
he’ll Find Where The Real Truth Lies
Find Where The Real Truth Lies

Though i admire Captain Cook
we’ll get rich and famous with my book
my little red book always at hand
it will contain personal contraband

on a ship, only so long and wide . . .
(come on, Marguerite!)

(William and Marguerite)
On a ship, so long and wide
if one looks and sometimes hides
using his ears and always his eyes
he’ll Find Where The Real Truth Lies
Find Where The Real Truth Lies
(William)
My little red book is more than a history

(Marguerite)
. . . more than a history
(William)
where all is told
(Marguerite)
where all is told
(William)
it will be sold
(Marguerite)
it will be sold
(William and Marguerite)
the tale of Cook’s soul’s mystery
