Ship Of Fools Lyrics
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --
This song is about being fulfilled by the spirit (of God) and yet realizing this world (ship) and people (fools) will drag you down off of your high, there is a constant struggle to get back to his loving ground. To Daily live life above reproach
@Into the mystic This song recalls the original passage in Plato’s Republic: the ship is desire, and the storm is the turbulence inside the human mind. Plant calls out meekly to “turn this boat around”, but there doesn’t seem to be anybody at the captain’s wheel.

It sounds like this song has to do with the movie sharing the same title.
very atmospheric ... the lyrics are awesome ... seem like the work of a classic poet ... bulls eye!!! the way its recorded and produced ... can't get much better than this ... perfect ... 10/10 ...
Robert Plants voice is so cool. with Zeppelin or without. the guitar playing sounds like the guy from Dire Straits?
Crazy on a ship of fools. We all are, those who show it are honest. Thanks Robert.
