Prefab Sprout - Green Isaac Lyrics
Stella Mater, light is failing
Making such a fool of thee
When you'd love to be someone...
This is the time, I've set aside
And telling bad jokes
And cul de sac pride
I've learnt today, while falling apart
The most eloquent way
To speak or to pray
Is straight from the heart
Oh but to shine like Joan of Arc
You must be prepared to burn
Forget the style and choose from twelve notes
In itself it's a joy
Whether it soothes or annoys
A song starts in the throat
Take two kinds of look, and one wedding day
Now isn't it clear
There's nothing they'll hear
That you'd want to say
And if you've no new clothes to wear
Then simply wash and comb you hair
And little green Isaac, you're gonna walk backwards through the room
Does that mean I won't see you?
It means you're gonna walk backwards through the room
And little green Isaac, I hear you're still wet behind the ears
Isaac's a soft name, it sounds like a pocketful of rain
Well up that stairway he rose, and down that stairway he goes
Green Isaac
Green Isaac
Green Isaac

This and 42 makes sense
Genius....
Chords please anyone?
Favourite lines:
'Isaac's a soft name

Great songwriting
GGGGreen Isaaaaaaaac <3
Their 1st & 2nd is the best.
Increadable song .. From an Increadable album !!
Just love this song. Thoughout my life I have listened to, and enjoyed many other artsits. But no matter what I get into, I always seem to come back to this album again and again. Paddy McAloon is simply out on his own when it comes to totally orginal song writing. There is simply nothing like this then or now. Unique !
I hear you're all still wet behind the ears?
Yea int it lovely, just as long as you have a pocket full of rain.
@Bustin5Knots yes, the reason being the Format nicked the opening lines to Green Isaac, which was released over twenty years earlier.
@Bustin5Knots or other way around
is there any reason they took a few lines from the format song "pick me up?"
Jackson Vose - oh the ignorance of youth, The Format stole this from Prefab Sprout
, this came out twenty years before them
