Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

Bonny
When Love Breaks Down

Take the Style Council, add a bit of Aztec Camera, shave off any edges but keep the emotional urgency and that is this gorgeous piece of pop confection. 
Like the last one, it runs out of steam before it ends, or maybe I just lose patience and find myself anxious for interesting things to happen. 
They kind of do but not enough to get this record into the top tier.
