I first heard this little gem at Grantham Railway Station in the pouring rain back in 1988 when I was waiting for a connecting train on our way back from Skegness. Everytime I hear this song, it always reminds me of my 1988 holiday for some reason.
This music is just fantastic.....I really miss bands like this nowadays, good thing we can always come here to remember how great it fell to listen to it =)! Prefab Sprout FOREVER, no matter how many years go by you guys will always be the Rock =)!
Damn this album has held up well. One of the best of the 80's, but frankly, it's one of the best pop albums ever. Overstated? I don't think so - it's a defensible statement. Underrated? Sadly, yes, but it still endures - timelessly.
This song in particular is sweet, poignant and flawlessly produce. Yes, it brings a lump to my throat too.
It's an album that I'll carry with me as long as I have ears to listen.
I believe if they is something you want out of life for example a person you really like then go for it, because eventually you hit the target as del boy says which is true he who dares wins.
God - 25 years ago, I had a girlfriend called Anna..loved her so much but through my own stupidity we broke up. I remember this song so much from that time. This morning I traced her after all those years...and so good to remember those times..thanks for posting this song..
@MegaDave1973 Dave mate, No she is not and nor am I - I am happily married to a wonderful woman now:)...but the girl is still friend of mine. Teenage love mate that's all - and the song rememinded me of it :)
@henry707 Yea mate first love. However all down to fate mate. The girl I remember when I heard this record is a great girl and nowh appilly married as I am mate. So all turns out for the best in the end.
This song charted in 1988 me thinks ? loved the song at the time but never unerstood why, now I'm 42 years old and i understand the song completely. Whatever happened to Prefab Sprout anyone ????
Sorry.. x
