This is still one of my favorite 80's tunes
Still own the cassette!
Or if you are more of a Waterboys fan, Karl playing keyboard:
Sad news indeed. An under-rated musician and writer.
Ship of Fools was/is a great song; easily one of my favourites, although the message is rather dark of course. I always thought Dylan could have done a great version.
Here's a nice acoustic cover by Paul Dempsey, singer/writer with the Melbourne band Something for Kate.
