@sproutyDP Absolutely! I'm just eternally stunned how fkin talented this guy is! Musical & Lyrical genius!
-
Simply my fave sprouts tune from the moment I first heard it back in 1984 on a dodgy Walkman. Still stunning.

As far away from Andromeda Heights as you can get in Sproutworld

"words are trains for moving past what really has no name" Love this lyric.
-
I used to always skip this track but...holy shit...It's amazing.
-
What a great idea! I wish there was some way to make that happen - it would be a beautiful way to bring that little tale full circle.

JDSHIPP: Thanks, Friend. I would probably never have known where the name came from otherwise. A BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyric that he never sang. Who could have connected those dots? One of the GREATEST BANDS ever.
Maybe Bruce should just go ahead and write a song called "PREFAB SPROUT". I'm sure PADDY can supply the stellar words...You ever wonder why great songwriters NEVER get together anymore?
Imagine the collaborations, the great music that would flow!

Mercury Project, your uploads have made beautiful this one delightful little corner of youtube. I can't thank you enough for putting this material up and reminding me how fantastic it is to love the Sprouts! Full honors to you.

Thanks for the first comment. You're not the only one who loves this song. At first, the lyrics sound esoteric but the more you listen to them, well, you find it sad when you understand them. Paddy has an uncanny ability to point straight to the heart of a situation by including the listener in the experience he's talking about. This song reminds me of me in so many past relationships. Boo Boo Ba Ba, Boo Boo Ba Ba! - How the hell did he come up with that??? Pure Genius.

It just came to me - "Boo Boo Ba Ba" is the sound of someone crying very hard. Genius indeed.
