Prefab Sprout - Cue Fanfare Lyrics
Some expressions take me back, like "Hair of Gold" and "Sweet Mary" - and "Running to Me".
The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes - nostalgia supplies.
Laredo high street buried me - beneath an oak tree.
As This Is To Me: then so to you is something else,
That keeps you up long past your bedtime, tearing hair.
The sweetest moment comes at last - the waiting's over,
In shock they stare and cue fanfare.
When Bobby Fischer's plane
(Plane plane)
Touches the ground
(Plane plane)
He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town.
The sweetest moment comes at least - the waiting's over,
In shock they stare and cue fanfare.
(Plane plane)
Touches the ground
(Plane plane)
He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town,
Playing for blood as grandmasters should.
Some obsessions take me back, like "Hair of Golf" and "Sweet Mary"
And "Running to me".
The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes - nostalgia supplies.
Laredo high street buried me - beneath an oak tree.

so underrated
brilliant great to hear again after all these years
Blows my mind that this was made in 1984. So ahead of their time
I love the bassline of this song very much.
1984 ...‘Twas a good year .....❤️
Remember taking a punt on this album in 1984 thanks to a mate recommending it, my life changed from that moment, the greatest songwriter in history.
Nick Burns Yup, much the same here - Aged 15, I'd heard nothing by the Sprouts before, but the cover art and typography completely grabbed me in the record shop (I was to became a graphic designer later) and well, I took a chance... I listened to it as non-stop as one can, for weeks and weeks, and with every play I heard something new. Beautiful. Perfect. Like all teenage male fans, I had a crush on Wendy - but secretly fell in love with Paddy... TMI... It inspired me to start creative writing, it inspired me to sing, it inspired my art. At 52, I still write, I still sing, and I still think this is the most perfect album ever. Anyway, enough already ....!
I may be impaired but I reckon I sing this tune to myself at least once a day
The bass on this track. The syncopated drumming. I love it!
buying this record in 1984 sent me here ...

Saying lit ass is cringey as fuck
Great band....intelligent lyrics and raw vocals...one of the most unique sounds of the 80s.I wish when the young ones say they love 80s music they would quote bands like this instead of(or atleast along with)Wham or Culture Club.......(no offence boys)....ther was so much cool stuff going on(The Associates,The Wild Swans,The Pale Fountains,The Triffids......and many more....!!!!!!!
I'm 37, does that count? Prefab Sprout were my fav band in the 90s when I was a teen.
Thanks dean blunt for showing me this ❤❤❤
I keep playing computer chess and losing. It makes me so mad. I like smart music, but it dosen't make me smarter.
PS band of my life. Born to life at age 14 with Steve McQueen, will die with them ... and Loredo high street buries me
plane plane
how is this song about chess?
Just listen to the lyrics.
When Bobby Fisher's playing, he'll take those Russian boys and play them outta town!

MERAVIGLIOSA
This song haunts me the two decades since I first heard it. Thank you Paddy!
I love this whole album. Great stuff. I have to agree with Jamie165; best chess song ever. There is also "The Chessplayers" by Wayne Shorter.
He was no more than a boy when he / they wrote this album. Absolutely incredible. Words & music....Purple prose.
genius track - great lyrics - superb song writer -
What a totally amazing song.........
what a bassline
A great singalong!
