Paddy at his best...pure pop confection and a Cole Porter-like dichotomy in lyrical structure and Dolby and band are at the top of their sophisticated game. Jordan the Comeback is stuffed with goodies - arguably the best album of the 90s.
Excelente letra! "todo el mundo ama a los amantes".... tu y yo no perderemos la cabeza como otros amantes lo hacen...diciendo que esto durara toda la vida,cuando es solo un año o dos...
Otra super banda inglesa de finales de los 80¨s,...y si solo para paladares muy finos.
One of my favorites bands from that time...and still.
one of the best bands to ever be on a stage in the whole history of Music. They are classic! amazing mix of pure pop and brains. Intelligent life in pop music. Tracey and Ben Watt have that too and were blessed with world wide hits, well deserved, but, Prefab Sprout is simply magic, all those beautiful melodies packed with perfect chords, incredible arrangements. They may have not reached same startdoom as EBTG but they were successful too. I owe them a lot of inspiration, Love Forever Prefab!
@PersonaDigital I have to totally agree....the days of great melodies & brilliant lyric writing, now soo very covered up in a world of pop music where artist write only what the industry wants them to write to sell cd's...I put Prefab Sprout in the same Genuis category as Todd Rundgren....simply Brilliant !
Paddy, such a master with the turn of a phrase. And then the immaculate phrasing on the vocal, "You and I won't be the fools that other lovers are, thinking every silver bottle top potentially a star."
Then, after that perfect key change: "You and I won't wish for things like other lovers do, but let's cross our hearts and hope to die if none of them comes true."
perfect. perfect pop. perfect wink and nod at the silliness of pop. as pop music, or satire of pop, it's perfectly brilliant. I LOVE this band.
