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."
