    Lyrics:
    I can't believe what is happening to me
    My head is spinning
    The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
    And I go spinning
    He was the baby of the class you know
    He really didn't know that one and one was two
    Two and two were four
    He was the baby of the class you know
    He really didn't know that, really didn't know that
    Oh what a poor soul
    Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools?
    Oooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?
    I close my eyes and I try to imagine
    What you're dreaming
    Why can't you see what you're doing to me
    My world is spinning
    You were the baby of the class you know
    Your really didn't know that one and one was two
    Two and two were four
    You were the baby of the class
    You were so young and so uncertain
    Suffer little children
    Oh what a poor soul
    Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools?
    Oooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?
    He was the baby of the class you know
    He really didn't know that one and one was two
    Two and two were four
    He was the baby of the class
    He was so young and so uncertain
    Suffer little children
    Oh what a poor soul
    Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools?
    Oooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?
    Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools?
    Oooh, why is life so fragile and so cruel?
    Oooh, do we not sail on the ship of fools?
    Oooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?

    my father philip vile produced this video after he met vince at a production meeting with decca records. vince asked him to 'create something that feels like falling', and so my dad made this video with a contemporary flavour. he was paid £9,000.

Baby Baby No ain't music. it's repetition. but Sometimes Oh L'amour does it for me more than Ship Of Fools which reminds me of a friend and reminds me of myself in my elementary school and junior high school days. 🎶☮️🎶 it's nostalgia. 🎶

  • @AdaZurpia
    @AdaZurpia 11 месяцев назад +28

    Part of my growing up I can relate to this song.
    The lyrics of Ship of Fools are poetic and metaphorical, and it’s easy to get lost in the melody and overlook the meaning behind the words. The song speaks of a ship sailing across the sea, carrying a group of people who are lost, aimless, and confused. The song talks about how these people are cast adrift, searching for something they cannot find.
    The song’s overall message speaks to the idea of people who are lost in their lives, searching for meaning and purpose. The ship of fools represents the idea of people who are following a misguided path, drifting aimlessly without any clear direction. The song’s message is that it’s important to find your own way, to chart a course through life that is meaningful and fulfilling.

Those random ppl invited us on their way there.. Ship of fools was playing as the stars aligned and I met the girl of my dreams, we were people-watching, laughing, that view as a backdrop. I'll never forget this great song

      Really pleased you finally discovered Erasures (in my opinion) finest work. I will never forget my first time listening to this tune back in 96. I'd have been17, 18 yrs old. It was part of a long play list on our work place radio station in N LDN. Blew me away! I asked a slightly older team member (knowing it was 80s Erasure by Andy's distinct rich, velvety vocals but not knowing the tracks title) if he knew the name & he just said 'Ship of Fool's'. Drove to 'Our Price' (Record store, in case you're too young to remember) straight after work & bought their 20 greatest hits album.
      Love the video too though it's because of Andy Bells face as I regard his to be one of the most beautiful of the pop decade. Gorgeous, stunning!
      Fortunate to spot him back in the day sat at the top floor of 'The Black Cap', Camden NW1 sitting amongst a table of far older lesbians than himself......slightly odd, maybe?!?!
      Sure you'll be listening to this tune forever more!

    I remember quite well when I first heard this song. I was twelve. My mother didn't like "pop music" but I needed something, so I saved up my pocket money, went to Woolworths in Kings Heath, and bought "Smash Hits Party '88" on a tape. Most of the songs were rubbish (apart from Hazel O'Connor) but I loved this one very much. X
