Prefab Sprout - Pearly Gates Lyrics
Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
Pray each night you'll catch the thief
But while you sleep he comes and takes it
Doesn't it just little boy
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
See the smile on her young face
Watch life casually erase it
Now I know she's all grown up
What makes you cry little girl?
Maybe I'm scared little boy
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait"

Prefab Sprout Pearly Gates Comments
Protest song? It's a crime!!
When I mentioned to my lost friend Haquin (RIP, my dear bro) that's a Samuel Coleridge assessment (Xanadu, by Rush), he went, sort of, nuts... And I: Check it out. Long before Google time (1977). C'mon, man don't be sore, let's do some hoops? May be Anette and Lolo will join us? That would be swell, nes pas? --- Okay.
No stampede. I cried so much at your funeral, my brother, my wife had to drive home. Devastated.
I was in charmes w/ Katarina and Anna, and Marianne; and they loved this tune.
Alors, this is for you, my dear bro. See you soon, way yonder the Pearly Gates.
Prefab are my all time favourite band beyond a shadow of a doubt,the craft of the songs,and i mean every single one is so original and genius.I listen to this particular song as I watch the winter sun disappear behind the mountains I can see in the distance from my holiday home,it has me in tears every single time,encapsulates the moment so perfectly.Thank you thank you thank you Paddy McAloon x
Another masterpiece from the greatest band of all time.
Paddy the BEST genio inconprendido
This, and Doo-wop in Harlem, I want played at my funeral.
Wow that's amazing Lance. Reading that give me shivers. These are exactly the 2 songs I have been ever thinking about playing at my funeral too ! Pearly gates for opening / Doo-Wop in Harlem for closing. If I die before you, would you come to my funeral and press the play button for me ? :)))
so good
Protest Songs cd is one of my most valued possessions.
its their best album just above Steve Mc Queen
its moving ...can t believe the small traffic ....paddy is a fookin genius by the way
thanks 4 the upload.....
still sounds so good......
'She wears a look I can't quite place yet'
One line. Nine words. Thirty-one letters.
And the human condition.is encapsulated.
Beautifull as my favourite hymm
I don't believe that Prefab ever writes a bad song. Gorgeous...
Thanks james for your great prefab \ art videos.really beautiful. We get the connections. Suzanne mizzi is a real relevation btw
I'll second and third that! Amy's much missed. Her vocal talent made me think of Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Washington. The best. Not unlike Paddy himself.
The perfect ending to Protest Songs. It always leaves me speechless.
what an otherworldly song!
what a song!
