Prefab Sprout:
The Best Of Prefab Sprout
- A Life Of Surprises (1992) UUSI
Prefab Sprout was always too good for
the radio. Hearing the band's immaculate
gorgeously crafted pop songs alongside
disposable, unimaginative records seem-
ed like blasphemy. A Life of Surprises is
an engaging introduction to a group that
is nowhere near as bizarre as its name.
Much has been said about Paddy McA-
loon's warm, comforting voice, his sooth-
ing croon can sometimes hide some pret-
ty depressing lyrics. "When Love Breaks
Down" is classic '80s new wave heartac-
he: teary-eyed synthesizers downtrodden
basslines, and McAloon's whispery talk
create a film noir atmosphere of deep
sadness. "When love breaks down / You
join the wrecks / Who leave their hearts
for easy sex," McAloon sings. The brutal
honesty of those lines easily elevate
"When Love Breaks Down" to the top
class of breakup songs. Even more po-
werful is "Goodbye Lucille No. 1 (Johnny
Johnny)," sung from the perspective of a
man trying to make a close friend get over
a girl who has rejected him. The words
are frank and painfully realistic as McA-
loon doesn't sugarcoat the dialogue.
McAloon rips into his buddy's futile ro-
mantic fantasies and lets the hard light of
reality shine upon him: "Ooh Johnny
Johnny Johnny you won't make it any
better / Ooh Johnny Johnny Johnny you
might well make it worse." If this sounds
dreary it should be noted that Prefab
Sprout isn't one of those grim British rain-
coat bands. The group has a number of
wonderfully upbeat moments, such as on
the exhilarating "Hey Manhattan!" and
"Cars and Girls."
