Prefab Sprout - The World Awake

That frightening little sound, it's just the world awake
It's just a way of saying we're in business
It's just a lightning strike, it's just a family row
It's just the give and take of forgiveness

Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets, well, not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

Now everybody wears the look of the child
Who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door
Was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake
It keeps the weary world awake

Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets, well, not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

So don't you cry they're, they're only words
They're only the saddest thing you've ever heard

Now everybody wears the look of the child
Who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door
Was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake
It keeps the weary world awake

That frightening little sound, it's just the world awake
It's just a way of saying we're in business
It's just a lightning strike, it's just a family row
It's just the give and take of forgiveness

Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets, well, not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

Now everybody wears the look of the child
Who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door
Was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake
It keeps the weary world awake

Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But we're not magnets, well, not forever
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames

So don't you cry they're, they're only words
They're only the saddest thing you've ever heard

Now everybody wears the look of the child
Who wished to marry you
Who, knocking proudly on your door
Was greeted by your pretty wife
If this is life make no mistake
It keeps the weary world awake

Prefab Sprout on the Wide Awake Club

A true rarity: a Prefab Sprout interview without Paddy McAloon, probably from early 1986. Plenty of information about teeth and sprouts.
