World Party ~ Ship of Fools

World Party - Ship of Fools videoclip + Lyrics

We're setting sail to a place on the map
From which no-one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burned
Drawn by the promise of the wormen and lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools, no, no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools, no
I want to run and hide
Right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you don't pay

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this Ship of Fools
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with no Ship of Fools,no,no,no

Where's it coming from
Oh, where's it going to
It's just a, it's just a Ship of Fools, ahhhh

All aboard!

[marcbythesea7]

Theme, concept, & lyrics are MORE pertinent today than in Reagan/Thatcher 80's...Wake the fuck up people... "avarice & greed are gonna ...." drive us to the fascist hell that the USA has become, not to mention xenophobic, racist, homophobic, etc. " ALL ABOARD" ........

Pardon my rant..... but it has become more real than ever....

[roguenation]

This timeless song delivers a unique musical experience where infectious danceable grooves mix with horrifying and morose lyrics.

[jimmy page]

[dookie977]

great 80s rock song 

[MrJohndoakes]

Parts of it remind me of Remy Zero's "Save Me", but that song sounds like two or three bands thrown together anyway.

[cavhoki]

[Jason Rogers]

I cant believe a big burly bloke like yourself is admitting to having a cry. Good for you!

[DannyD1199]

Great song. Puts the crap out today to shame.

[Kathleen Craig]

great song

[Jim Young]

'Private Revolution' is the album from which this came.

Who should give a fuck about what became a 'hit' or not?

This song is only one of my favourites from this album.

'Private Revolution' and 'Bang!' are two albums of theirs that I really like.

What songs became 'hits'? Who gives a fuck?

I recommend that both these albums should be listened to.
