I love this new Prefab Sprout single. Features the words "diadem", "adjacent" and "lax".

This is the sound of pop songwriting genius.

This is #CrimeWeek Week 2 for me as I did this theme last year. Been away, so apologies if this has already been jammed.
Still picking up things that I missed before in these lyrics; Paddy McAloon has to be one of Britain's best songwriters.
I first heard of this vastly underappreciated 80s Brit Pop band while studying abroad in London. They continue to put out fully formed, layered songs with quirky but memorable lyrics. Paddy McAloon is one of the best songwriters you've never known.
