Career
They debuted in 1982 with their self-released single “Lions In My Own Garden: Exit Someone” - songwriter Paddy McAloon wanted a song title where the first letters of the words spelled out “LIMOGES” (where his former girlfriend was staying at the time). Their debut album Swoon was released on the Kitchenware record label in early 1984. The following album, the Thomas Dolby-produced Steve McQueen, (released in America as Two Wheels Good when McQueen’s estate expressed their displeasure with the title) was highly praised by critics, prompting McAloon to remark: “I’m probably the greatest songwriter in the world, you know.” Subsequently, they recorded Protest Songs which was however not released until 1989. It included the song “Life of Surprises”, which later became the title track for their greatest hits compilation.
Their biggest commercial success in the U.K.

@ItsLuizzHolmez , As much as I love Prefab Sprout I have to also credit some other great groups from the 80's as well like The Style Council (Paul Weller), Tears For Fears (Roland Orzabal) and XTC (Andy Partridge)...all headed by underrated geniuses like Paddy whose music is as ageless and beautiful as ever.
