Thankyou Prefab, your music made my life wonderful

I'm from South America, and here music like Prefab Sprout never came or came a long time later. However, those of us who lived in the 80's, have in our souls a kind of detector of the spirit of this type of songs, which have something special that cannot be defined with words and although, like me, you listen to them decades later, your mind, when Instantly, he assimilates them, identifies them and miraculously they return you there, to the wonderful 80's, that time that will stay in our minds, until the last day we have to be here.

Rex Strother Totally agree. Unbelievable group. Paddy your a legend ....the George Best of popular music minus the drinking....where did you go Paddy.??

Steve McQueen is still in my top ten after all these years , the prefab sprout years were brilliant . Every album was waited on with great anticipation and Paddy never disappointed. Wonderful music and songwriting guaranteed

"Langley Park to Memphis", such an awesome album that I listened to through some of the biggest changes in my life, golden times, testing times with good friends, family and loves. Thank you Paddy and co, Why Aye Man!!!

So many memories. Good times, thanks Paddy❤

Pure 80's :) , all persons who came here know the real 80's musics and have great musicals taste, forever 80's/ Disco/ Funk

OOOOOO JESSSSS!!!!

Brilliant band.

I’m 49 now. I just heard this song for the first time today- November 2nd, 2022. I don’t know how that happened that I went all this time without ever hearing this fantastic song before. I know if I’d have ever heard it before, it would have caught my ear like it does now. While the music I like now has dramatically expanded, I know this song has so many elements and features of music I’ve always liked. In addition, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song from this band before. And I lived through all of the 1980s and have memories of every calendar year in that decade, many of them music-centric. There’s nothing about this song that is particularly alternative or edgy or outside of the musical mainstream at the time that would suggest this song wouldn’t have been all over the radio. And yet I’ve never heard it until today. Some things cannot be easily squared or understood.

Listen to "When love breaks down" It's one of their best!!

One of the best, most under rated bands ever. Paddy is a songwriting master.

Talk Talk and Prefab Sprout I so remember listening to in my youth on a cassette Walkman

Profound songwriting by a brillant 80s band.

I was 12 in 1980. So much happened during the next ten years that it would be impossible to list them. This song was one of those things though so enough said!

I love Prefab Sprout when they're in up-tempo mode....this one "ticks all the boxes" , wonderful song !

what sharp songwriters... amazing lyrics, rhythms and melodies. wow

As a Brother for you to say that; it MUST be GOOD...can l get a witness????

"Guess this world needs its dreamers. May they never wake up" I love that part.

I once was in love with the world. That was about when this song came out! Time has passed, but Prefab Sprout still holds up! What a genius Paddy Mcaloon is (and mind you, he has made a lot of great songs after this one. Still does as a matter of fact!)

Like so many great 'older' songs, listen to this in my sixties, and I'm young again. Best thing is, I appreciate them more now..what a time to be alive!

Super underrated rated band dont know how i discovered them but glad i did the 80’s were the time to live even though im a 2000’s baby wish i could’ve experienced it

Lyrics : Brucie dreams, life's a highway Too many roads bypass my way Or they never begin Innocence coming to grief At the hands of life - stinkin' car thief That's my concept of sin Does heaven wait all heavenly Over the next horizon? Ah! But look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Just look at us now, (Start counting) What adds up the way it did when we were young? Just look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more much more than Cars and Girls Life's a drive through a dust bowl What's it do, do to a young soul We are deeply concerned Someone stops for directions Something responds deep in our engines We have all been burned Will heaven wait all heavenly Over the next horizon? Ah But look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Just look at us now, (Start counting) What adds up the way it did when we were young? Look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Little boy got a hot rod Thinks it makes him some kind of new god Well this is one race he won't win ('Cause life's no cruise-) 'Cause life's no cruise with a cool chick Too many folks feelin' car sick But it never pulls in Brucies thoughts, pretty streamers Guess this world needs its dreamers May they never wake up, ok But look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Just look at us now, (Start counting) What adds up the way it did when we were young? Just look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Just look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls Look at us now, (Start counting) What adds up the way it did when we were young? Look at us now, (Quit driving) Some things hurt more, much more than Cars and Girls

Their music is so smooth ...

i've been listening to this tune since the eighties and still love it.

Same here

This song has so many 80ies vibes in it... I was 14 or 15 when it came out. Long live our youth, when we had less and were happier. My friends have gone, separate liferoads, some are gone forever. As long I live I shall carry all those memories of good and bad.

La colonna sonora della mia gioventù, della mia spensieratezza, delle mie "fughe" notturne, di tante serate con le mie amiche...quanti ricordi!

This song came out about 30 yrs back, the first time I heard it was Monday just gone, and I automatically knew it was Prefab Spout. Sign of a band with a unique approach.

what great music

Este tema tiene una energía super bonita, me fascina, tiene todo lo que un tema necesita !! El vocalista me encanta ❤❤❤

Can't believe I am as old as I am and just discovered them last year. Sheer artistic genius at work here, they've joined my top three artists ever. Have had the 38 Carat Collection on loop pretty much for the past six months. What amazing melodies Paddy created!
