Prefab Sprout - Cars And Girls 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?

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 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?

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 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 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

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 much more than cars and girls

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 much more than cars and girls

Prefab Sprout Cars And Girls Comments
  1. m.... v....

    1988...my favorite PS song.

  2. O.... F....

    You can’t get away from great songs with great lyrics. They’re timeless ! Especially when they haven’t been re - created !!!!!!!!!! Leave them alone 👍🏼

  3. s.... w....

    Best band of the 80s

  4. s.... ....

    How did The Sprouts persuade the actor, Geoff Bell, to play bass in this video???

  5. t.... c....

    A SONG OF TOTAL GENIUS. TONY AMORE. CONCERT PIANIST MAESTRO FROM NEWCASTLE UNDER LYME. STAFFORDSHIRE. UK.

  6. N.... o....

    2:48 - it's really cool how varied his vocal delivery is on different phrases of the next thirty seconds of the song. Practically whispering "feeling carsick" compared to the emphatically boastful "pretty streamers" in the next line is a pretty wide range of emotion.

  7. D.... J....

    A slice of perfect pop.

  8. E.... B....

    This aways seamed to be played in shoe shops when I was a kid being dragged to the shoe shop by my mum :). Fantastic track and band.

  9. H.... T....

    Hail the Prefab Prince Of Pop!!!

  10. S.... R....

    Like a dream.....

  11. E.... G....

    Today's music can't match this gem.

    The girl was very nice. Was Paddy giving her a length?

  16. S.... T....

    How can you not like bands like this.....700 n odd thumbs down get out of it..thay must not know good music

  17. P.... W....

    Music from a better time in a better world.

  18. L.... E....

    Isn't it strange how so much musical talent came from these small British isles.
    Music loved all over the world came from here

  19. a.... ....

    I was 20 in 1980, 29 in 1989..I loved every year of the 80s. Had high and low times, but culture, fashion and music along with technology coming of age...I truly miss thise times...🎸

  20. C.... G....

    who start the year playing this song?

  21. G.... A....

    2020 and prefab is refreshingly and stubbornly relevant.

  22. E.... C....

  23. B.... S....

    When music and times were better..

    B.... S....

  25. j.... c....

  26. F.... V....

    Hello friend este es un hit con quien me identifico mucho

  27. M.... C....

    Grande Complesso Musicale come del resto la Musica e i musicisti Anni 80 e 90 non hanno eguali...

  28. T.... F....

    I remember a DJ saying he had a few of them with his dinner, mixing up prefab sprout with brussel sprout, ha ha.

  29. A.... S....

    A tutto gas anche nel 2019 bellissima canzone sempre intramontabile

    A.... S....

    fantastica

  30. P.... ....

    is there as better song? No.

  31. 1.... ....

    Oh my care free youth has returned within a song... No commitments financially, relationship wise or kids... Oh well...

  32. m.... n....

    Great music like this during the 1980s will forever live on
    That decade truly destroys the morning music of today.
    Love the 80s.

  33. S.... R....

    This is one of the best groups of the 80's Actual music and good singing involved...

  37. D.... ....

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  38. F.... T....

    Loved the 80’s so overlooked

  39. P.... D....

    What is it about the Irish diaspora, created pretty much anything that was anything in British music?

  40. P.... 3....

    I think this beautiful song captures the essence of the late 1980's: carefree but with a touch of sadness. Hard to pinpoint but definitely there.

  41. M.... H....

    Love breaks down is a classic...

  42. j.... ....

    Paddy is a bloody underrated genius ❤💙

  43. S.... C....
