Cornfield Ablaze =Prefab Sprout I saw you from the tractor The harvest had begun You were the love child of two gods I was the farmer's awkward son You left Mount Olympus To find your soul mate I left a scribbled note, quote "Dear Pa, this here harvest can wait" You took a match to my dry ...

what i mean by neurosis, is the modern (i dunno, i mean post enlightenment-or at least post romantic) conception of love, which seems to have a attained a kind of transcendental nature-becoming the object of sanctification in itself (jettisoning Kant's categorical imperative along the way-he he) It ...

'Somewhere' lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for us. Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us Somewhere. There's a place for us, A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we're halfway there. Hold my hand and I'll take you there Somehow, Some day, Somewhere! ther...

it also expresses a modern neurosis regarding love, that it can never live up to the hype-except in the imagination. 'Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand And rivers that ran through ev’ry day I must have been mad I never knew what I had Until I threw it all away' the contradiction is succinc...

Asserting that to stand outside the paradigm of religion, implies some convulsive metamorphosis that ultimately liberates mankind to some hitherto unknown freedom is quite simply wacky in it's irrationality.

this is 'One of the broken' by Prefab Sprout Hi, this is God here, Talking to me used to be a simple affair Moses only had to see a burning bush And he'd pull up a chair Well it's been a long time since we talked in that way If you're wondering what to say... Sing me no deep hymn of devotion Sing me...

Quite shocking to see Hitchens looking the way he does, i only heard he had cancer a few weeks back, and seeing him like this really throws the horror of the disease in your face. As for his anti-theism, i think it's sometimes superficial, the constricted context in which these polemics are conceive...

Yeah JM, Steve McQueen, Jordan and I'd add Swoon are simply top drawer-in fact top of the top drawer-on top of the underwear, and socks-look don't judge me. I know about the Paddster's degenerative disease, but the record is what it is,anyway in perfect health Paddy may have suddenly decided to beco...

Life's a Miracle, i never really got that, maybe it's because mine so obviously isn't, or maybe he meant it like the 'rare earth hypothesis', but that's not a miracle just improbable, like all those sperm and only one makes it to the egg, but...now parting the red sea-that's a miracle. Thing is, The...

I love prefab sprout, but this is just paddy-and it shows-self indulgence, musically uninspired..... and religious ambiguity (paddy's homespun 'spirituality') permeates this album, like mycelium in wholemeal bread-Paddy might be able make an infinite number of angels dance on the head of a pin, but ...
