Lyrics :

Last of the Great Romantics
--------------------------------------



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

Faithful and true, believing in you,

regardless of the things you do.



Here comes the last of the great romantics,

feet planted wide, defying the tide.

Come on Gatsby, stand aside.



People see me walking down the street

and I hear them saying 'here he comes'

That boy makes a banquet from

a table of crumbs...



He hears romantic music in

unanswered phones,

in the angry slamming of a door,

and the girl that he's mad about

does not care any more.



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

Defying the tide. Come on Gatsby, stand aside.



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

Not foolish, not grand, taking a stand.

Out of touch? No, in command!



So people, never ridicule the lovesick fool

or say he's only carrying a torch,

in his hands it's a flamethrower

and his judgement is scorched.



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

Not tortured, not wracked. Illusions intact.

Undiscouraged by the facts.



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

Feet planted wide, defying the tide,

come on Gatsby, stand aside.



Here comes the last of the great romantics.

No bullshit, every song on this album is superb. In fact in a few years time i wont be surprised to hear sprout fans say it's the best PS album. It really is brilliant

[Bigwheelneil]

I agree..the more you listen the more passion your here! It's briliant!!!

[Carlos111111able]

Impressive both lyrics and melody. They´ve got a massive talent. Can´t even describe what the Sprouts have always meant to me

[nix4pool]

Just Gorgeous

[magicmitchtube]

Possible new Prefab Sprout album coming out soon !!!

LCTWWM Incredible album from the hugely gifted Paddy McAloon. Let's hope he releases more of his material very soon (apparantly he has a lot that haven't yet reached our eager ears )

Hope your luck with health improves greatly Paddy. An absolute legend.

I wouldn`t say that although this song, Music is a Princess and the last one are alsolutely brillant. Among existing bands, I reckon that only The Blue Nile would be able to create songs at this level. Furthermore, I would pick Jordan the Comeback as their best. 

[ACrazySteal]

"Let's change the world with music" is definately the best Prefab sprout-album ..

[federsmiths]

@simasgar  I think "Andromeda Heights" nearly does!

[Bleuenuit]

One of the last great romantic groups!

I am sensitive to the English romanticism.

This group is one of the best representatives. Very powerful...

[simasgar]

@sproutyDP You can't match Steve Mac Queen

[inverterville]
