Prefab Sprout: album nou

Prefab Sprout este o trupă engezească. Cîntă de prin ’82. Poate-i ştiţi; prin acei ani au avut cîntece ca The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll, Cars and Girls, Looking for Atlantis, The Sound Of Crying. După ’90 i-am auzit tot mai puţin: au avut un cîntec niţel mai cunoscut, Prisoners Of The Past.

Solistul trupei e Paddy McAloon:

E omul care scria cîntece ca ăsta:

If you’re looking for Atlantis
You should cast your eye on me
Put your two and two together
Don’t you know who built Atlantis
Then returned to the sea
Don’t you know who owns the weather ?
Rain or shine
Sure is good to seek a challenge
Sure is fine to set your sights
Sure is foolish to be blinded
There are legions out there churching
Searching for the holy grail
Isn’t one of them can find it
All this time

Say you do find your volcano and the darn thing is still hot
Lesson one Child don’t waste it
Lesson two The world’s your cherry
But tomorrow ? Maybe not
Lesson three Come on and taste it
All this time

You should be loving someone
And you know who it must be
Cause you’ll never find Atlantis
Til you make that someone me

Iată-l acum, la 52 de ani, aproape surd şi orb:

Paddy a compus Cowboy Dreams, cîntat de Jimmy Nail.

După multă vreme Prefab Sprout a lansat ieri un album nou: Let’s Change The World With Music. Primul single este Let There Be Music.
