"Ship of Fools" (subtitled "Save Me from Tomorrow"[1]) is a rock song performed by World Party. It was written and produced by singer and multi-instrumentalist Karl Wallinger, formerly of The Waterboys. Wallinger is the sole member of World Party.[2]
"Ship of Fools" was the first single released by World Party and was included on the 1986 debut album Private Revolution.[2] It was World Party's sole Billboard Top 40 single, debuting on that chart on April 4, 1987 and peaking at number 27.[1] It also reached no. 42 on the UK singles chart,[3] no. 5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart,[4] and no. 4 on the Australian Music Report chart.[5]
A longer version, at 6 minutes and 40 seconds, was released as a 12" single, with a double B Side of World Groove (Do The Mind Guerrilla) and Nowhere Man (Ensign ENYX 6606). This version is no longer available commercially.
The song has also been included on over a dozen compilations, including Greenpeace's Rainbow Warriors compilation.[2]
