This IS such a fantastic song. I promise you will NEVER again hear lyrics like this in the mainstream again. I listen to this song every day as I weep for the state of the world. I knew exactly what he was shooting at when I was 15 & 20 years later it is as he says. Highly underated, extremely prophetic lyrics in a pop song. Never, ever, again. Be a good Human Being <3

[zazz63]

wallinger has such a jagger tone to his voice.

[jwphx1962]

Excellent tune! One of my favorite tunes from the 80's!

[micktheMaag]

Not many live performances will i Like.. Love this one.. Karl is the Man....

[MrRexBailey]

Karl Wallinger is probably the best songwriter to come out of Britain.

Check out the album `BANG` the songs are fantastic

[CReadiusPro]

I hadn't heard this song for yonks... but the chorus floats into my brain so often when I'm at work. Not a big fan of their other stuff but this song is a classic.

[modelverb]

3:15 excellent microphone control. Great song etc

[scipfish]

Karl Edmond De Vere Wallinger welsh song writer who wrote shes the one and then williams recorded it a great talent former waterboy too.

[tits569]

ABSOLUTELY RELEVANT EVEN 23 YEARS LATER....WE'RE ALL BEING LED TO DOOM BY A SHIP OF FOOLS IN DC.....

[HitchHikersBlues]

@tits569

Yep.

As long as people keep voting for Democrats and Republicans nothing will ever change.

Their like Mafias, it's the same story in my country.

[HitchHikersBlues]

The 3 people who hit dislike for this tune, are prize idiots...no other word for them.

[Medusafern]

The man who wrote this was and is a genius. I've had this song in my head all day thinking about how angry I am that I, the child of Malcolm-X, JFK-loving hippies in Washington, D.C. in 1965 has been so lied to, fooled. This isn't any Democratic party. This isn't a Democracy. It's how much money AIPAC has to buy the votes of our senators. Just today, we voted to keep sending over 3 billion a year to Israel so they can slaughter more Palestinians. Monsters! Ship of Fools, oh yeah,

[Marilynastro1]

One of the BEST bands ever....

[JonnyLikesPie]

woo hoo hoo

[JasonXP1000]

Is Guy Chambers the fella who wrote with Robbie Williams

[123ruffy]

@JasonXP1000

yeah thats him, before he was famous!

[liamaidanandpatti]

no song fits like this right now, just discovered the Lowell, Massachusetts Social Security Office has a worker that stole my two handicapped sons identity and has cashed checks in their name and done so much damage...avarice and greed alright. Lovely government workers we have....!

[divisorplot]

thesaurus 'shipwreck' idiom go aground go to the bottom(or Davy Jones;s locker) run on the rocks

[kolbenfried]

Cool!!!

[TheStewartmyers]

[TheStewartmyers]

[sjhanksaz]

Love this stuff

[MrNobodyNothing]

World Party is STILL Way ahead of their time!

Peace

[RedLightProductions]

Man, who is the bassist here? I see him in the early World Party videos and he always just looks so INTO playing the bass. Does anybody know who he is/his involvement with the band?

[rationalpower]

Now more than ever ..ship of fools

[Qtipword]

One hit wonder????

[MrNobodyNothing]

@Qtipword

Hardly!!!!

At least 2 albums Full of excellent music and timeless lyrics!

[assafharel]

Great version, brilliant song. Sadly, relevant more than ever.

[LittlewingKD]

Awesome Song Karl, I like it very much.

[kidcarnation]

so many stupid comments... be like me and leave none:-)

[friginhell123]

@kidcarnation haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

[JIFFBAG]

Like the original video - the singer is just a smiling assassin.

Cant people stop analysing & judge just as a great pop song?

Peace.

[apokryphos117g]

I'm 34 and heard this song recently on an alt. music from 80's station(I'm sure you know the one-on cable,more music I think)& remembered it because of that great chorus-"save me,save me from tommorrow whoo-ooo-ooo.I don't ...I truly didn't remember how great the 70's&80's were 4 seminal bands& the like until 2005 thanks 2 a burgeoning youth movement sick of today's "music".I truly regret not appreciating all the choices we had.It's great the youth of today do.

[jax833]

jax likes this............i'm not a republican! and i don't think jax is either, i'm typying for him, he is a golden retriver

[MeatCloud]

What's with all of the god/jesus comments?

You have no place here... fuck off.

A phony beliefe in your (and other) non-existant god has enabled so much of the strife that this world is in.

Turn on your brain and leave the dark ages you morons.

[ramsamoetsingh]

@MeatCloud

You are so right, this beautiful song is not for religious morons.

[roar5952]

any body capable of becoming like me and greater things he can do Dont you get it this is what we are all waiting for some body to be come just like jessus and probly has are ready has done this how is he going to tell the world for he is a man all alone in the world like a theif in the night if you knew he was coming you would have locked your door

[frontsidegrind]

why only 27K views? Should be millions!

[weemalky]

You will pay tomorrow. Oh yes.

[Skatemd0905]

Ship of Fools and Message in the Box are two of my absolute faves!!!

[KarlEttinger]

i havent heart this song for 20 years - thanks for loading it up

[ronnieneo]

WOW! at first i thought he must be miming this, it is way too good, but he is definitely playing this live, absolutely stunning! What an awesome song, and what a message!

[gordontravels]

[fpizzaman046]

[MrGeorgiebest7]

I Love Music Karl Wallinger...Love, Music...

[OzzInter]

Hear this song on the radio today, I haven't heard it for years.

Still a great song!

[MrSilkydrew]

Sounds like Mustang Sally a bit

[yaksuit]

@MrSilkydrew he cut his teeth in ireland

[Debbie01yates]

I saw them perform this on SNL and LOVED it!!

[TheDavey222]

[123ruffy]

[DocGeorge4U]

I highly recommend:

"The Marching Morons" by C. M. Kornbluth

[donadthegonad]

bibleeana you ignorant slut....really, go fuck yourself. and fuck your fictitious little friend while you're at it.

[bibleeana]

Jesus is the ONLY ONE who can save us from tommorow !!!

[123ruffy]

[TheDavey222]

[pstholm]

[friginhell123]

@bibleeana go fuck yourself

[MrOzdan4]

@bibleeana fuck that noise...

[johnmckinlay67]

Fabulous band !Saw them in Glasgow Arches venue many years ago, one of the best gigs I have ever attended.

[Nuncal]

Classical song, excellent performance

[AceBG27]

They sound a lot like INXS - good song.

[degree7]

@AceBG27

That's what I thought.

[ForceRecon75]

You're right.....the CD was stronger though, and not quite so INXS-like.

[jimviz108]

Just gotta say thanks for posting....and MORE please! I needed that badly.

[evelynmh]

This song should be dedicated to Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and all of his minions at Haliburton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Piercetp]

@evelynmh

Thank God we got rid of that bunch.

[coltom]

@evelynmh - yeah, you tell them - especially since I'm sure you have loads of factual information from which you base your opinions - right?

[evelynmh]

@coltom I'm certain of it

[redsoxfred]

Simmons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrnobodie1]

politics in my rock n roll! I'd rather have flies in my soup.

[johnmckinlay67]

Somebody's gotta keep these cunts on their toes. No harm in singing a few protest songs. Planet before profit !

[rbjax2001]

Love this song, Ron Paul should have used this as his campaign theme :-)

[dckdesigns]

I love this song. I have it on my FB page.

[larvlyjarbly]

Revolutionary! I've been singing this in my head on and off for 20 years!  Sign of a great song. Thanks for posting.

[autumssong]

Great song! Thanks for posting.

[rzamataz]

Love Karl, love the band. This is an old song, but if it doesn't apply to Bush and his advisors I don't know what does. They are the "Ship of Fools."

[miner805]

And what in God's name has Bush done that is so terrible?

[mrnobodie1]

Bush swore in 'hand on the bible', everything he did as' POTUS' was tn god's name. He really had a tough time dealing with the past sins laid down by his father.
