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.

Technique Lyrics
Prefab Sprout
12345/12345... 12345/12345
Her husband works in jodrell bank, hes home late in the morning,
Had he been a lawyer, he wouldnt work for pennies.
In the morning I go walking, it helps the hurting soften,
Ive seen a lot of places, cos I miss her very often.
But I could never work there, what a shame that Im not clever,
Its for men with horn rimmed glasses, and four distinguished a level passes.
What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know.
Verse and chapter they unfurl, - and sprinkle it upon the world. name it.
Technique !
Their eyes dont fill with wonder when you speak,
And I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.
Without recourse to lying distortion or cheating.
Technique !
Their eyes dont fill with wonder when you speak,
And I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.
