| I had heard that the song was about Prince, who made everything he did look so effortless. | |
| Prefab Sprout – Cars And Girls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah - i always thought this song was terribly unfair as regards Bruce. I'm not sure the Sprouts ever listened to any of his lyrics. | |
| Peter Gabriel – Solsbury Hill Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The song is, as BlimpyJones said, about Peter Gabriel leaving Genesis. There's a bit more to it than that. After he left, he wasn't sure if he would continue making music - he felt he had lost his inspiration. But he went to see a Bruce Springsteen concert and was invigorated by Bruce's love and energy; that, at least partly, inspired him to start his solo career. The eagle in the song is Bruce: as petere gabriel sings, 'he was something to observe". (Bruce is also the subject, though less flatteringly, of Prefab Sprout's Cars and Girls.) |
