Someone was round here asking questions about
Someone who looks like you
I said I don't know where you are
It sounded like he was going to be back someday
So I told him where you are

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

This would not be the first time
This will not be the last
He only knew slow moves in the past
I hope you're not too fast to last

She's making it all come true this time, hold on, She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

The Renaissance
Buddy Holly
Sir Walter Raleigh
The BBC
Leonardo
The sixties...

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

Got to find the brightness in the soul
Not look outside to find out where we are
Or you won't be satisfied
Until you make possessions of the stars

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

Someone was round here asking questions about Someone who looks like you
I said I don't know where you are
He said that he was going to be back
I told him where you are

She's making it all work out this time
She's making it all work out this time
She's making it all come true this time

"Goodbye Jumbo" was the gate album for World Party for me.  Karl's story is incredible.  Worked back from a stroke and couldn't talk.  His latest live album is great. Thx, Bill!

This is soooo SODA STEREO is uncanny same chords, same style is just perfect.

This is a good album.  If you will explore the Mick Jagger affect fades pretty quickly.

I love that RP plays his music. If anyone wants to see another underappreciated song used in a great way, "She's the One" is on the excellent Matchmaker (1997) soundtrack...

I saw INXS when they were just starting out in the Belmont 16' Sailing Club in 1980 in Australia and Michael Hutchence swaggered out to grab the microphone just like an early Mick Jagger - swaying, crossed legs, pouting - the whole nine yards.

Michael even tried to copy Mick's vocal style and delivery - but of course he couldn't and eventually developed his own style.

Actually this singer is like what might have happened in a parallel universe where Mick Jagger got singing lessons!

Love World Party and this is one of their best.

Karl Wallinger... also from the Waterboys.  He's really remarkable.  Unique and beautiful music. Saw him live in Annapolis, MD.  He plays a right-handed Les Paul upside down (left handed) with no pick, just fingering.  His albums are well-worth owning.
Posted 12 years ago by nickhanks    [ Reply ]
Love the weave and play - sounds a little bit like a younger Mick J from the Stones.

I have always loved this song so much. When I hear it, I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen.
Posted 13 years ago by cayenne    [ Reply ]
This is very nice - I like the way the instruments are used in this - particularly the xylophoney thing at the beginning (and xylophones are tricky with me) and the organ.

No doubt!  I popped over to the web page thinking, now this is a side of the Stones I've never heard only to see,"World Party" at which point I thought who the hell is World Party and how did they get Mick to sing on their track. ;-)

Pretty ok song though... regardless of who it is.

 

I thought it was INXSs Michael Hutchence...resurrected of course.

Funny, I never heard the Mick similarity until just now, after reading all these comments to the point. Always loved this song as it was part of the soundtrack of me falling in love with one of the finest ladies ever to enter my life. But it always just sounded like Karl Wallenger to me. Was lucky to see them tour this album ...with that beautiful woman at my side.{#Hearteyes}
 
I never caught the Mick comparison, but it's there ..Roseanne Cash does a wonderful cover of this song....

Posted 15 years ago by catnip    [ Reply ]
Even though I owned this back in the eighties, and re-acquired it recently, I still do a mental double-take, because this song just sounds like the Stones. Period.
Don't know if that was intended, or just happened that way....

This has got to be Mick's other band ala Phil Collins with Brand X.

I went to the computer to see what Stones album this song was on - I thought it sounded unusually gentle for Mick but it still sounds like him. 
Posted 16 years ago by Lyndra_Ski    [ Reply ]
OK- I don't mind if Bob Marley's kids want to sing like him, but unless this guy is Mick's illegitimate son he really needs to rethink this. Getcher own gig dude.

I ordered what I thought was a new recording recently. It is a re-release of previous recordings. It really is almost the same as the DVD that came with Dumbing Up. Still good, but not new. I hope Karl has recouped from his anurism (sp?).....
