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

I read he had an aneurysm a few years back and had to relearn how to play music... apparently hes recovered and putting out a compilation set soon of the World Party gems.... |

| ckcotton (Adding snarky comments since 2007) | Posted: Jan 24, 2012 - 21:02 Love World Party and this is one of their best. Give Goodbye Jumbo a try, you won't be disappointed! |
| nickhanks | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 09:34 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. |
| Dana_Montroy | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 09:31 Love the weave and play - sounds a little bit like a younger Mick J from the Stones. |
| cayenne (in over my head) | Posted: Oct 21, 2011 - 19:13 I have always loved this song so much. When I hear it, I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen. |
| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Jul 20, 2011 - 04:06 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. |

| scrubbrush | Posted: Jan 11, 2011 - 10:56 Sounds like some of the better mid-80s Rolling Stones tunes... good |

| htowncoog (Texas) | Posted: Jan 11, 2011 - 10:53 I wore this cassette tape out! Great tune, and record. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 06, 2010 - 13:56 I've loved this song for a long time, but never knew who did it until lately. GOOOOD stuff to listen to on a happy Monday holiday.  |

| keenevision (Near Boston) | Posted: Feb 27, 2010 - 20:53 God! I can't really even say WHY I like this song as much as I do....
But the layered harmonies and guitar work, subtle yet powerful, just take me! |

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. |

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.  I never caught the Mick comparison, but it's there ..Roseanne Cash does a wonderful cover of this song.... |

| gypsyman (Just passing through....) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 13:05 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.... |
| LuvWilloughby (Westmore,VT) | Posted: Jan 13, 2009 - 13:02 This has got to be Mick's other band ala Phil Collins with Brand X. |

| Lyndra_Ski | Posted: Oct 10, 2008 - 18:42 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. |
| bokey (Up on the tightwire. One sides ice and one is fire.Mostly) | Posted: Jul 07, 2008 - 22:55 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. |

Love it, own it, still think its the Stones every time I hear it... |
