  • I bought that god-awful Jimmy Nail album many years ago, just for 3 tracks. Turns out Paddy wrote them all. That came as no surprise, as Paddy has always known how to write amazing songs.

  • Paddy, we miss you....

  • yeehaa.

  • all calf and no hat.

  • Jimmy Nail's song remake

  • briliant

  • feel so sorry for Paddy, all the stuff he has and he cant really sing it :S

  • another timeless masterpiece - thanks Paddy & Martin

  • Witam!

    Bardzo lubię tą piosenkę, nigdzie nie można w Polsce dostać płyty z tym kawałkiem!

  • yippie yi yay - love the B-Roll footage

  • songwriter supreme.

  • No one in Nashville could have penned this amazing song.

    'Love's a silver bullet

    That blows your world apart

    I wanna be remembered as an outlaw

    The boy who stole your heart'

  • Bloody hell, thank god Paddy sang then instead of Jimmy is all I can say. This knocks several large spots of most American modern Country music. What a song....this is real skill at play here.

  • One of the most gifted musicians ever. Hey, who can use a banjo these days and totally get away with it?! His tragic story breaks my heart, really.

  • ♥ Love IT Not A Scratch On Jimmy But Hey...

  • Comment removed

  • paddy is real one off when god made you paddy he broke the mould ,you are one who is truly blessed

  • Für mich mehr, sehr viel mehr. Ein echtes Highlight!

  • Alter Knacker ^^ und ich fühle so mit ihm! Einer seiner besten Songs. Eigentlich der Beste!

  • Me encanta, es una canción lindísima... pero ¿en donde está Wendy y Neil Conti? los extraño :(

  • Actually even though Paddy wrote the song Jimmy recorded it first in the mid 90s. This version was recorded in 2001 so oddly enough Paddy's is the cover.

  • You give me cowboy dreams :)

  • Sorry have to disagree i do think jimmy nail,s cover of this was good and he is underestimated by some but this original is superb Paddy and his band Prefab Sprout were and are one of the best bands to come out of the north east...

  • tremendous - quality songwriting at its best. Paddy = genius

  • Hello,magnificent and wonderful song and unforgettable band,I listened this track in my spanish-holidays, thanks,bye.

  • It is rare to (say the least) to find a songwriter of Paddy's caliber who can sing like this.

    Rare indeed.

  • This song is so peaceful^^ love it!

    He has an amazing voice.

  • here in the states we dont have easy access to the sprouts' later stuff(after Jordan) so imagine my surprise after almost 20 years to discover this, Andromeda Heights and now a new album! Thanks Youtube and YEEEEHAH!

  • c´mon, where are the posts??

    this a song so meaningful--

    it has its reason when a guy like mcaloon takes years to come along with a joke like this!!

    cowboy dreams---yeeehaaw

  • yippieyahyeah!!!

    mc alloons still suffering from being not elvis and stevie mcqueen in one!

    what an amazing band!

  • Un temaso propio de estos talentosos que no se sabe nada de ellos. Espero que sus temas no dejen de sonar. Los temas de este grupo han quedado grabados en mi memoria

  • This Wonderful group should be up there with all the greats including The Beatles !

  • Great Video background.  The lyrics are good too. Good vocal and music accompaniment.

  • Grandes Prefab Sprout, como en los '80:

    magnífico trabajo. Thanks for this song.

    Desde España (Asturias).

  • Tienes razón. También sorprende el video de paddy con jimmy webb en the highwayman

  • I used to love Jimmy Nails version But THIS blows it away, fantastic!!!

  • I love this song.

    Anybody here have the Jimmy Nail version?

    If you do please download it. Jimmy's is my fave version.

    XxX

  • Its actually a very emotional song. Especially the lyrics "I want it written on my tombstone here lies the boy who stole your heart" - priceless.

  • good stuff

  • Stellar stuff

  • Paddy me asombro con este maravilloso disco, muchos y lindos recuerdos de una etapa especial en mi vida, Gracias x eso !!!, ojala te recuperes de corazon, Prefab Sprout una de mis bandas favoritas, espero tu disco nuevo. ya !!!

  • Great Jimmy Nail song covered by Prefab Sprout!

  • Other way round. Paddy McAloon song written for Jimmy Nail.

  • i'd like to have written on my tombstone : the girl who stole your heart...

  • If I ever, ever, came close to writing such a song, I would die a happy man.

  • This song sneaks up on you and stays for good. And listen that outstanding banjo solo:-O I think Paddy was telling about that banjo guy in the interview that he had played wit Bob Dylan and other big stars. Doesn't surprise me at all.

  • What the heck is wrong with people! This is Paddy McAloon, genius extraordinaire, the greatest songwriter of the 80s - next to Morrissey, of course. Why isn't there more hits for this video! Yet again Paddy reaffirms the credentials of "real" pop music. Yeeha!

  • This is just so awesome - brilliant song and performance - I AM teh boy who stole your heart - ignore earlier suggestions!

  • You give me Cowboy dreams...

    very nice song

  • Paddy has to be one of the most truly inspiring writers/performers there are - and this video only got 300-odd hits?!!! Swoon and 'Steve McQueen' deserve to be included alongside the very best albums ever released. Hope you guys at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame are paying attention!

  • J'adore cette musique... je l'ai écouté y a 2 jours, ça fesait 4 ans mini que je l'avais pas entendu, ça rapelle des souvenirs.

    j'adore celle-là et "Life Of Surprises"
