I love Gospel music and this is extroadinary. He should spread his Gospel music every where. Everyone needs the Lord Jesus Christ in there life for he spread Love threw out the world. Keep it up and you will be heard. Some will not like this reaction but others would. Like the fruit of the Spirit: Patience, Kindness, love, joy, peace, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control.
Romans 5:3 – 5 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope; And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Well.....I listened to the whole song, and somehow I just didn't get the sense that what he's singing about was evil, fascist, homophobic or had anything to do with "philistine garbage coming from illiterate thugs who never read a book". Not my favorite of Paddy's, but I'll take any of Paddy's songs any day, and continue to avoid the radio if at all possible.

steve mcqueen was a great album but everything since is terrible...this song supports fascism and homophobic scum...gospel music is evil, philistine garbage which is sung by illiterate thugs who've never read a book in their sad lives.
@uclrichard "Evil", "garbage", "homophobic", "illiterate thugs", "never read a book in their sad lives"....You sure you're not talking about gangsta rap?
@uclrichard I'd say dissing Gospel Music was pretty close to racism in itself, since we all know where gospel comes from. Maybe you need to look at yourself before calling anything fascist. As for the tedious steve mcqueen claim, Langley Park is a far more mature album lyrically and musically. Your little liiberal sensibilities need to wake up.
Paddy is a brilliant lyricist and a true musical artist in the long northern CELTIC sense and tradition of the word.I guess the Beatles,Shack,Jah Wobble belong to this tradition also.Actually Andromeda H did reach a level hardly attained in the 90s and certainly not since Steve Mc Queen.I still regard the Swoon album breakthrough as something utterly different and deeply moving.It was hard to predict then they would get so sweet and still retain an edge but THIS won't change the World for sure.
Adoro Paddy. E' un genio e vaffanculo al sistema che non premia la meritocrazia nemmeno in ambito musicale. Le case discografiche e le radio ''cianno da far i sordi'' . Prefab Sprout eccezionali sempre. In ogni album.
Hey Sprout heads, stop your complaining! U think you've got it bad? Just thank your lucky stars that you're not fans of Durutti Column! The unfortunate truth is that the more talented and less formulaic the bands/musicians are, the less the likelihood of hearing them played on the radio. When was the last time you heard anything off Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden played on the radio? Probably never, I would venture a guess. David Sylvian?, Tom Waits?, Terry Callier? John Cale? Think I make my point!
les uns apres les autres les titres de ce nouvel album "apprivoisent mes oreilles" j'etais peu receptif au debut et voila que je ne peu plus m'en passer sweet prefab sprout music!
Lovely song!!! I just knew about this new album a week ago...its incredible that by radio I dont know NOTHING! All the best for Paddy! And thanks to this post! Best wishes from Portugal
Incredible song and album. The rest is zero. But where is it played? By which radio? The system is wrong. If they would spread this music, this will be the favourite for many... Who's deciding Radio's playlists? They deserve to go, for good, and be replaced by others. This song and RIDE of Prefab Sprout are the best pop songs of '09 or, to be more precise, of the past few years!
the answer: faceless executives and monopolising creeps like Simon Cowell who wish to create a stable of "pop stars ", playing "pop songs " only HE wants us to hear! Elvis Costello in 1978 made the same comments and had his song Radio Radio taken off the play list by Tony Blackburn; in essence the truth hurt, and Blackburn thought he could dictate the playlists on Radio One...so its up to us to continue listening and buying REAL music....Paddy Macaloon is a genius!!
i suspose because of paddy's catholic upbringing and also most of the songs were written during 92-93 a time when he questioned heavily his own faith in god... you can hear it in songs like 'sound of crying'
Philistines who ask me why I like Prefab Sprout just have to listen to this one
