Prefab Sprout - Lions In My Own Garden (Exit Someone) Lyrics
Hey, I'm sorry if I go too fast
Tonight, let's pretend that this will last
I've got a dream you would like to sleep until
Oh, I'm sorry to dwell on the past
But I've got this friend who thinks he's in love with you
And it doesn't sum it up to say he's singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
He's screaming because he's found something to lose
So you're living in Eden where, apples are good
But every narrow miracle, takes place on Earth
Yeah, some militia have arrived and, the percussion has come
And they're pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumours have started that we are both young
That's what I'll shout when you just stay out of reach
And it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found something to lose
And it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found something to lose
And I'm pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumours have started that we are both young
Lions in my own garden, exit someone

Prefab Sprout Lions In My Own Garden (Exit Someone) Comments
This is a million miles away from “when love brakes down” and “the king of rock n roll!” More like postcard records stuff from 1980/81!!!!
The oldest, the most pared down and, for me, the most beautiful ❤️
Prefab sprout ?? I can dig it, have them all I'm happy to say.
The first Prefab song I heard and probably still my favourite.
First hurd on the John peel show in, 1982
Where I probably heard it,but I thought it was a year later.
so good
Hey, I'm sorry if I go too fast
Tonight, let's pretend that this will last
I've got a dream you would like to sleep untilOh, I'm sorry to dwell on the past
I'd better say nothing at all
But I've got this friend who thinks he's in love with you
And it doesn't sum it up to say he's singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
He's screaming because he's found something to loseSo you're living in Eden where, apples are good
But every narrow miracle, takes place on Earth
Yeah, some militia have arrived and, the percussion has come
And they're pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumors have started that we are both young
Lions in my own garden, exit someoneThat's what I'll shout when you just stay out of reach
And it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found something to loseAnd it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found something to loseAnd I'm pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumors have started that we are both young
Lions in my own garden, exit someone
Billy Sloan from radio Clyde said this is one of his favourite song mine too
This is my favourite prefab sprouts song, bought some clothes from top man around 1985 and got a free cassette tape, had Alexei Sayle on one side doing comedy and prefab sprout singing this and I think another, and some other bands, happy times.
So lucky!
Lucky you!
Even at this early stage they're totally limited with the same mushy chord changes and bloodless delivery.The best thing said about this is that it sounds slightly like a 3rd rate Smiths...
Fair enough.I don't know much Fall stuff,it is samey but at least they have abit of beef and would be a good crac live.i mentioned Peel coz he played Lions in my Garden and did a session but then i heard he thought PFS were lame.I think there is some objectivity,but if someone thinks Kajagoogoo are more worthy to culture than Beethoven then who's to argue.I've heard ridiculous pronouncements about Mcaloon- even genius status.Some genius characterisitcs: universal/groundbreaking/innovative/making complicated simple/visionary/open/original/a head of time but timeless eventually ...(re Velvets (not genius level!)) This would have to apply to,say.The Beatles/ whether a person likes them or not.i would almost say that PFS music is the antithesis of the genius characteristics (non universal (appeals to a small audience)/stuck in late 80's synth land-anachronistic/contrived/pretentious...Mcaloon included an essay on BB's Smile in one of his albums! URGH! .Try Louis Phillipe (youtube track 'Diamond') for a similar vein to PFS.he was very influenced by B.Wilson as well.Bass line for King of Rock and Roll lifted from Good Vibrations and where the heart is theme similar to 'You still believe in Me (Pet Sounds).This is getting too FXXXXXX serious....!
Prefab Sprout is way better than The Smiths, and I don't mind anything what says the stupid and ridiculous musical press.
I LOVE BOTH,THE SMITHS & PREFAB SPROUT SINCE 1984
Bernard Baker what the hell are you doing here anyway Bernard. Jog on mate
More like the smiths always tried to sound like this, but they couldn't achieve the emotional state.
hmm, I have one of the first press copies. It's aged well. Happy memories of listening to it in my bedroom.
sell me it
Their early stuff is so great. They got WAY too sappy for my taste later on.
She isn't in Spotify... Why ? It's a great song...
Alpha males never listened to Prefab.
OleAnderson Their comments make perfect sense to me. Take your petty snobbery elsewhere. Perhaps to a page featuring a Morrissey promo video.
Your're right in as far as PFS are limp/lame.Although the Banshees Siouxie said PFS are 'Stepforf Wives Music' - so that would suit the alpha males!...
Alpha Male here. PFS is brilliant and Siouxsie Sioux sucks.
Real 'alpha males' don't bother with labeling themselves.
damn i been blackpilled
Paddy would never had won X factor, glad to know that real talent strives for acknowledgement and not instant fame
Greatest song ever written.
just
so good
I am in Limoges
... fitting very well! And about the apples - are they really that good down there? Les pommes, sont-elles vraiment si savoureuses chez vous?
Sometimes early Sprouts are the best...
Prefab sprout is without a doubt the biggest underrated band ever, the lyrics are so freaking beautiful it's crazy, long live prefab...
And it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singing the blues
And whoever learnt to walk in somebody else's shoes?
I'm screaming because I've found something to lose
And I'm pounding out messages loud on the drum.
The rumours have started that we are both young.
Lions in my own garden, exit someone.
Holy cow, I was listening to KEXP from Seattle and they play this tune from Prefab, and I'd never heard it, I've got everything from "Swoon" to "Andromeda Heights".
In this 2012, for me, what a gift!
hey, yr most welcome aboard the good ship prefab sprout! i found sondre thru looking up more prefab sprout stuff.
Sondre Lerche brought me here.
LIMOGES
got this 12 inch
I read somehere that this song is about where Paddy's girlfriend was at the time. Take the first letter of each word: "Lions in my own garden exit someone".
