Prefab Sprout are an English pop band from Witton Gilbert, County Durham, who rose to fame during the 1980s. Though critically acclaimed, and considered by many to have released some of the best pop albums of the decade, the band never matched this acclaim with as much commercial success. Their biggest commercial and critical success came with 1990's 'Jordan: The Comeback', which was a hit in the UK and nominated for a Brit award. Perhaps their finest album, Steve McQueen, originally released in June 1985, is to be re-released on 2 April 2007 in a 2CD edition, this time with eight acoustic versions. The record company says: "Digitally remastered by original producer Thomas Dolby, the album is sounding even better than ever.

Jesse James Symphony Lyrics
Prefab Sprout
Jesse james is running and hell never be at rest
til the day they fold his arms across his chest
Hes a long way from the cradle
And his mas authority
But it only seems a minute
Since he stood over his bed
And she tried to tell him something
Now what the hell was it she said ? ? ?
Jesse james is thinking of the breaks he never had
And the gene that cursed his blood group rhesus-bad
Jesse james lived money
His account was in the black
til the day he stopped a bullet with his back
Well the zip cose may read vegas
But the heart beats tupelo
And a footstep is such a small thing
That its neither here nor there
til you string those steps together
And find home is way back, way back where ?
Jesse james was never
Part of lifes great symphony
All he heard were penny whistles out of key
Jesse james he promised :
I will never die afraid
That boy perjured every vow he ever made
