And stranger still my self-control I can't rely on anymore.
New tide, surprise my world is changing.
Within this frame an ocean swells
Behind the smile I know it well.
Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm
Adrift in pleasure I may drown.
I built this ship; it is my making
And further more 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
Oh no, oh no
Who claims that no man is an island?
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
Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no.
Crazy on a ship of fools
Oh, crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no ship of fools
Lol, comments on RP are always entertaining.
Robert Plant in the days of Zep, a young god prancing, singing and acting his way across the stage of life. We all want to be him didn't we? At least the guys did.
And more than a few women, they just wanted him.
But Time has its way with all of us, no exceptions allowed. So while he looks like his heritage, an ancient Viking longing to just hang it all up, I'd bet he's just hoping to make it to the end of his allotted time without wetting himself. At this point he's just hanging on the best he can; perhaps all the while wondering how'd the time go by so fast?
And isn't that pretty much what happens to each and everyone of us? No exceptions allowed.
So it goes. Good tune (by the way).

WOW - RP on RP on FLAC on Bose on cannabis. Love it!
901's I presume.
An 80's Mullet-Perm AND incredible music!
Get out of here. Go back to Twitter Shitposters!
Does anybody remember laughter?

I think that Robert Plant's post-Led Zeppelin work is under-appreciated. If you compare it to what Rod Stewart did when Disco took over, it all becomes much clearer. Robert Plant forged a new direction by aligning himself with a talented group of musicians centered around ultra clear, shimmering, non-distorted guitar sounds and lots of clean and clear music and sounds that had nothing to do with disco, etc., but was more akin to world music. It was the total opposite of Led Zeppelin, but not conforming to the trends of the day. Great stuff.
I like a lot of Plant's post-LZ material and admire his wanting to expand his styles, but you could have a favorable view of most veteran artists' later work when compared to that of Rod Stewart after 1975 or so; it's a pretty low bar.
Is there something for which Gary Larson hasn't drawn a comic? It's like XKCD

Looks like he might have lost a bet.

Absolutely!! I bought them all the week they were released.
Don't forget Robert Calvert's "Ship of Fools" from "Lucky Leif and the Longships"!
Agreed. But, what's really amazing, is this 70 something, doing duet with little miss hottie, Allison Krauss!! They are simply magical together!
Not to mention, what he's done with A. Krauss!! Dude still kicks ass like nobody's business!!!

We're still together. Our ship of fools has encountered a few storms along the way, but the crew has held fast to the ropes and we're now sailing calm waters and stupidly in love with each other.
Still wouldn't kick Mr Plant out of bed for eating biscuits, mind....
Because everything it plays is perfect
My god, I didn't realize that 45s were still being made in 1988.
Mostly likely Doug Boyle.
...bill, that was a stunning transition from crown of creation, well-played!..

I was enjoying the guitar as well.
...it took me over a year to get doug's CD!..
Much like you.
ha ha ha!
Best listened to in headphones while sitting on the beach - gazing into the ocean.
It's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. I got the amazing chance to meet him years back in Myrtle Beach after the House of Blues concert and when I told him it was my favorite song, he said, "Yes, it's a girly song." Ha! I bet there are lots of guys in this forum who like this song too! Still - meeting him was quite the experience! We got to sit and have a drink with him and his band. Definitely unforgettable! The musicians were very cool.
Okay, RP is ok
Dude! They have surgery for that. You have the dough. What's your excuse?
Dude! Have you ever considered that a vast swathe of the world does not consider plastic surgery a positive attribute?

Bill, if you ever read this ;-), please play some of the songs from "Pictures at Eleven". Obrigado!
Much like you.
...credit guitarist doug boyle and coproducers phil johnstone and tim palmer, along with engineers rob bozas and martin russell - sadly none of whom have worked with robert plant since 1993's fate of nations...
Doug Boyle just released a CD entitled The Third Rail. He's brilliant IMHO.

More of the wonderful Mr. Plant please!
Well said, seeing his work within context reveals soulful artistry.

Yes, it's good stuff.
Alone this song is nice, but nothing stunning. Throw in memories of spring, high school musicals (real ones, not Disney movies), and driving a beat up Dodge Omni up Route 9W and then it starts to mean something to me.
