  • The System of Life of the Trash Goverments break the hapiness of each other of us..We lived the same great emotions and vibrations of our life...THEY DONT HAVE RIGHT TO DOIT, WE HAVE THE BEST RIGHT TO HANG ON AND LIVE IN HAPPINNESS FOREVER!!We could be join us and tell us our hystories of life sentimental....till die peacefully...dancing, singing, loving...walking under the heaven with my friends like brothers.

  • ...This is just song writing talent off the scale.....unreal!

  • Wendy is GORGEOUS.....Oh yes!

  • 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!

  • Cuz this world needs it's dreamers… May they never wake up!

  • brilliant!

  • 16 people have bad music taste.

  • Paddy and Prefab Sprout are genius!! annoying underrated and massively underplayed!!!!!

  • @kev10ok Annoyingly underrated (soz)

  • Great hit, great band !!!

  • Great song

  • Great pop song.

  • One of the Pop gems of the 80`s. Sublime song writting skills.

  • as i recall this song is a little dig at bruce springsteen for writing simplistic tunes just about cadillacs ,dodge trucks and chicks? anybody?.i love the tune and the drums are slamming!!

  • @MrTonedeff Yes, that is right. It was an answer to one of Bruce Springsteen's songs.

  • @Supersweetguy thanks dude! i thought i,d heard something like that involving the boss! this track has a great drum groove very slick!!

  • @MrTonedeff Thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • months searching the web for this topic!!

  • I LOVE this tune. So very true. x

  • These kind of songs actually make you feel something (in a positive way).

    Unlike the mass produced, samey, heartless, soulless majority of music today.

    Although I do think there is hope out there..

  • @ExosRevenge I think there has been pointless and emotionless music in most all eras, including the 80's, including now. There has been and still is music with great meaning to it today, it just doesn't usually get airplay.

  • @XI0Corporations I agree. Though I do think that there is a lot more generic, soulless music today.

    So many productions and singers etc sound alike now.

  • It the Trigger happy TV tune. Great music and it makes me think of the Genius Jolly pulling pranks on bystanders.

  • 80s just fabulous...

  • excellent song. mesmerizing!

  • Muito boa... e foi também regravada por um cantor brasileiro em 2009, Davi Amarante, em versão acústica, em Portugal.

    Very good ... and has also been recorded by a Brazilian singer in 2009, David Amarante, acoustically, Portugal.

    Muy bueno ... y también ha sido reescrito por un cantante brasileño en 2009, David Amarante y acústicamente, Portugal.

  • SEMPLICEMENTE FANTASTICA RAGAZZI

  • Me encanta......Esta canción me da fuerza y energía positiva...Me da la seguridad de poder apostar por cualquier cuestión y salir vencedora.

  • A great popsong and really fresh, with a good voice....MORE fantastic ´80´s music on my channel!!!!

  • Used to play this song as a DJ in college, still holds up after all these years even if the lead singer looks a LOT like Jim Carrey!

  • bellissima canzone

  • Prefab Sprout, were they a Newcastle band?

  • a briil song i first heard it at the 10p disco in ardoyne youth club when i was 12 im 36 ni how time flys thanks for the good memorys

  • I am a huge funk soul jazz fan and thats the music i have always listened to but sometimes a band or a musician takes you away from your genre simply because they are genuinely amazing both musically and lyrically etc. Not many bands do it that for me but the sprout it with no probs.

    Was on the bus going through Rome yesterday and I almost began crying when i really listened to 'when loves breaks down'.

  • top tune

  • anyone who doesn't love the sprouts can be only one of three things: mad, foreign, or a cunt. I bet napeoleon, hitler, mussolini, and franco would have hated em. :-))))

  • A BAILAR NO HAY UN TEMA MEJOR !!!

  • best sprout song ever

  • This haircut is so ugly !

  • @simasgar

  • What a band one of my all time favorites love this song

  • Fantástico!. Que maravilla encontrar otra joya de los 80s.

    Mi eterno agradecimiento para quien nos regala un tesoro del pasado.

    Excelente canción!.

  • THANKS' IT LOGICAL BEST SONG!!!

  • Muy buena canción

  • A fantastic pop song from the pen of a genius writer. Prefab Sprout is much more than great music, it's also sublime art that will stand the test of time. I can remember hearing this at the age of eighteen and being blown away by how good it was. Now I'm 40, it sounds just as good. I'm glad their music has been part of the soundtrack to my life. Why the band were never massive around the globe,I will never understand. All those who know and appreciate the band are indeed very fortunate.

  • How right you are!! I totally agree but luckily I'm of those.

  • You're right!!!! Luckily, as alextw13jf, I am of those who like Prefab ever since i heard this song and the other one, Appetite. Awesome song!!!

  • Imagine that some people's life's soundtrack will be stuff like Poker face...single ladies...candy shop, beautiful people, 'oops I did it again...

    etc....etc....etc....etc....et­c....etc....etc....etc....etc.­...etc....etc....etc....etc...­.etc...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • @riojp you are so so right, well said , if only they knew. how sad it will be for them.

  • @eightiessongs They are brilliant! Do you know of a band called "Lambchop". They are quite good also.

  • @eightiessongs You know, i'm only sixteen, and yet their songs captured me. Indeed very talented, and the song are very relaxing. For me it's even therapeutic and drives my worries away.

  • @darkzero0805 I was 12 when this came out in 88 and captured is the best way i can describe it. Great comment man!

  • @markbatman Thanks. Just thought i'd share some thoughts about the band and their songs. Appetite is pretty awesome too, and Bonny.

  • @darkzero0805 You right¡¡ This band is very very special¡¡ When i hear this song yesterday I think... Wow ¡¡ so many happie days in 80,s and 90,s decade¡¡ I,m 35 years but day by day I descubered new fantastic song,s like this incredible bands.

  • @eightiessongs the best things are kept for the select few that,s why were so fortunate to have there music and the rest of the world is,nt ha

  • i saw them in belgium of course they were called prefab brussels sprouts then.... oh stop me please

  • From Langley Park To Memphis is a gret album. I used to have it in cassette when I was a kid. I managed to purchase the CD from HMV Japan last year. Brought back lots of great memories. SIGH...

  • Was it lack of promotion at the time OR the overall quality of music in 1988 that stopped this getting to what should have been a Top 10 single ? - Anyway,it's a class tune!

  • Has anyone sen Paddy lately! He was in the papers about a couple months ago he's got a big beard now but he looks quite good!

  • @83Brokenwings He has had very serious problems with his eyesight, but is on the way to recovery.

  • I only got car sick once for years ago.

    Anyway, lovely 8o's song!

  • man ;WHAT is it that makes me ALWEEZ feel soooo FANTASTIC when I hear Prefab .... they were... , are and will alweez be among my ALL TIME favorite bands ... with NO COMPARISON !!

  • この頃のプレファブ・スプラウトが一番好きです。例の女性が脱退­しちゃって残念。

    あのヒトがいないプレファブ・スプラウトなんて!

  • This should be viewed so much more, what talent!

  • Classic, just look us now

  • So many great tracks. Testiment to a different era.

  • Such a great band But yet very underated for some strange reason?? But ya gotta love a bit of PS Thanks for post this classic :)

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let music return to a time of integrity such as this era... I LOVED this as a child. I love this now!

  • this is incredible

  • What a great time for pop music, the pop bands of this time played instruments and wrote great songs with memorable tunes with melody and great lirycs.

    such a shame bands like this are not around today, now all you get is repetitive, dance, RnB and male and female vocal groups producing forgettable drivle!!

  • lots of memories the 80s would love to back tere now best years

  • Comment removed

  • Consistantly good through all of their albums. Paddy MacAloon knows how to write a song.

  • Hello,magnificent and wonderful song and unforgettable band,thanks,bye.

  • Hello,magnificent and wonderful song and unforgettable band,thanks,bye.

  • One of the best songs of all time, one of the worst videos. Horrrific 80s soft-focus tat...ugh!

  • They are underrated- no not everybody knows or appreciates prefab sprout its like an exclusive club for people with taste! I'm proud to be a member of ! oh the 80s. the shit that we listen to now pales in to comparison.

  • Langley Park :') my grandfather is from that area (Durham) rip grandad x

  • what a refreshing this song memories when i used to go to my university whith my mind traveling for another lands...helpme music!help to the world with love and affecttion!

  • lets just all be glad WE know them... for life without PREFAB just wouldn`t be the same !!

    GOOSEBUMBS FOR OVER 20 YEARS ALREADY ...........

  • "guess this world makes his dreamers .....

    may they NEEEEEEEEEEVER wake up !!"

  • Isn´t it "Guess this world NEEDS ITS dreamers"?

    Super tune anyway...

  • One of the very best bands of the 80s and 90s with clever lyrics and heartfelt melodies, but to read their singles chart placings, it reads like a horror story! I never understood why they weren't more appreciated

  • You're right but they have had seven albums in the top 30 album charts , four of which were top ten. Amazingly Steve McQueen wasn't one of them !

  • I remember this from like 84-85 in New Zealand ... just found it now on youtube ,,, my god the memories !! same we never heard more from these guys

  • Todavia los sigo esccuchando a mis 51 tacos, la mejor musica de los 80,la buena musica ´siempre perdurará.

  • Not underrated - everybody knows how great this band is - but definitely under appreciated back in the day. Half their singles didn't even chart. What the fuck's that all about?

  • i soo luv this tune :) it makes me feel squidgy inside

  • i didn't wrote this

  • No, I wrote this.

  • No, I wrote this song.

  • did u? I fucking wrote this song mate...

  • I wrote this song.

  • this is genius

  • That was focking awesome!

  • I miss these old songs -- thanks for uploading!

  • Glad you said this.... im including this song performance in a feature film i'm designing the soundtrack for.

  • Love it.

  • So many happy memories of my teenage years come back listening to this tune, awesome song and awesome group, now nealry 40 I understand the lyrics even more.......

  • cant belive id forgotten about that song, i used to love, still do!

  • it brings back memories of easier times, odd clothes and mad friends:)....

  • escuchar esta cancion, cualquiera extrañaria los 80´s estupendo de lo mejor que hicieron ´prefab sprout ´ simplemente excelente.

  • The bass is so tight on this song. Great sparse guitarwork too. This makes me realise what I used to love in pop music. Before it got terrible.

  • Comment removed

  • Good...no...very good lyrics!

  • che ricordi, avevo una casetta con questa canzone, si viaggiava ad agosto in autostrada per il meridione e in macchina questo saund...

  • "What adds up the way it did when we were young". I was young when I first heard that lyric. I recognised that then...the freshness,the impact of a piece of music,art,a love affair NOTHING touches you in the same way when you get older. Its gone forever.

  • This takes me back...cheers!

  • You can all hear ' Let There Be Music' from the forthcoming album NOW on You Tube.

  • Sorry the new album isn't called NOW !

    It is LETS CHANGE THE WORLD WITH MUSIC.

  • new wave?

  • No sabía que Miguel Bosé había cantado esto.

  • rara la cancion

  • "Guess This world needs its dreamers May they NEVER wake up"

    Thats us, by the way.....!!

  • All albuns are great but my preference is:

    1-Andromeda Heights

    2-Langley park to Memphis

    3-Jordan

    4-Steve McQueen

    5-Protest songs

    6-Gunan and other Stories

    7-Swoon

    ?????-Lets change the world with music set 2009 ????

    Paddy said the new album sounds like andremeda and jordan

  • Interesting to see Andromeda and Langley in your top 2, Mark - not typical choices! For what it's worth, I think Langley is - along with The Style Council's 'Confessions of a Pop Group' - the most underrated album of the 80s.

    And my order of preference?

    1. Jordan

    2. Steve McQueen (Legacy Edition)

    3. Swoon

    4. Langley

    5. Protest Songs

    6. Andromeda Heights

    7. The Gunman

  • 6-Andromeda Heights??? this album is magic

  • Couldn't agree more - they all are.

  • this is the real eighties pop, with those touches of new wave tune

  • If you like Prefab Sprout, try searching DEAD LIKE HARRY - SATELLITE for a new band you might like.

  • This is so good, but the best Sprout song is STILL not on YouTube. Please can someone put Talking Scarlet up. Cheers.

  • Cruel from Swoon is also ,unbelievably, missing too !!!

  • Talking Scarlet up?

    on what album was this one?

  • Talking Scarlet from the album Protest Songs.

    Cruel from the album Swoon.

    No up or from !

  • Thanks :)

  • who are they, are they exist today

  • Comment removed

  • two wheels good is still the greatest album I have ever heard...

  • This brings back so many memories, it is class, makes me want to go back to 80's if just for a day lol!!

  • Life was so much easier back in the 80's - less stress (I was in my teens) and the music was amazing - so many incredible songs that transport you back to those great years instantly and this song is one of them.

  • You are so right!

  • I love this song :)

  • Great song! Haven't heard this for years lol! Doesn't the singer remind you a bit of Feargal Sharkey?!

  • this band ROOOOOOOOCCCKKKSSSSS

  • I'm a huge fan, have their entire catalogue, wonderful.

  • 80s at ita best...class!!!!

  • every song on the Album is brilliant,

  • Magical !

  • Se parece la chica a Nicole kidman, antes de operarse :D

  • que disses?

  • One of the best song I have ever heard, nothing more, nothing less. God I really miss the 80's....
