Lyrics:
My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Till love breaks down, love breaks down
Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
The sweet september rain
Rain on me like no other
Until I drown, until I drown
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
When love breaks down,
Love breaks down
#PrefabSprout #WhenLoveBreaksDown #Vevo

Those who weren’t around in the 80’s shall never know how happy we were, how everything was so colourful, so blissful… the feeling of waiting for the phone to call, the post to arrive, meeting friends at a local joint with no need to pencil a day or time, etc etc life was sooooo joyful. If only we could go back…

I agree with the previous commments. Since I worked in music retail for 30 years since the mid-80's and learned how the entire machine worked, I came to a conclusion. The corporate ear and the listeners ears are different. Some artists, frankly, were just too good for radio. Their sound was atmospheric and sophisticated when programmers wanted simplicity. Image also played It's part. Some bands didn't get airplay or consideration because of how they looked. Prefab Sprout, I believe, to some looked ordinary and was marketed well. I could name several others as you likely can as well. This was unfortunate because that's how many artists were missed. Imagine how many more we would have missed had it not been for MTV and VH-1? Also for magazines like "Star Hits" which showed us the bands, pictures of say Great Britain, and interviews with them. A shout also goes to university radio who gave exposure to lesser known bands both US and abroad. Lastly the independent record stores for they were place to find the obscure and new MTV bands. The 90's had a nice surge of indie and international artists. I believe in response to Grunge. We from the 80's weren't all about doom, gloom, angst, and fear of tomorrow.

@@littlenigeI agree. Spoiled and overwhelmed. Because with the thousands of CDs and cassettes I collected, I'm always finding something I had a bit of and now am fully appreciating thru an in-depth listen or rediscovery. Even totally missed some, because of an uneventful single or album at that time. Now decades later realizing they never disbanded and just weren't played or seen here kn the US much anymore. Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 is my latest. Prefab Sprout has been a constant.

Those of us who lived in the 80's are both blessed and cursed to have experienced the magic of such a emotionally charged musical era during our formative years. The bar was set so high we thought we'd have it forever only to realize years later what we had and never to go back. The era to me represents the quintessential meaning of saudade. Having lived in the 80s and what it was makes the current scene appear quite dismal and hopeless.

80s music the best. However I must be the only person who looks back on the 80s (my entire teenage years) with utter distain. It was an absolutely horrible time. A boring, apathetic, lost, confusing, lonely time. I think many people mistake a "simpler" time to a "better" time. My 40s (2010s) have been the best time of my life and that includes going through a divorce and cancer! I fell 10 time more alive today than I did as a teen in the 80s. Must be a mental thing. I much prefer being grown up than being a child. Everything and everyone is clearer.

I was 18 and managed to get a date with a girl I had a huge crush on. We arranged to meet at a pub called 'The Golden Calf' and I was convinced she would not turn up because I believed she was way out of my league. When I saw her enter the pub my heart missed a beat. When she sat down at the table this song came on on the background. By the time the song finished I was in love with the song, the band. and the girl. The 80s will go down in history as the greatest decade in history. We were so free we didn't know how good we had it and I will be forever grateful I experienced it in the prime of my life.

This song reminds me of when love breaks down. You love the girl with all your heart.. but no matter what you try to do, things don't work out, and it was hard listening to this song at the time , knowing full well you are with your girlfriend, and knowing this relationship is going nowhere!...Beautiful Classic Song! .One of my all time favourites.

And if only our tears could form a river from now to that treasured time, we would all catch the boat to be there - and never return, always in a utopia of permanent love and great music.

I disagree. I think he's a good songwriter (and a thoroughly nice bloke) but I hated his music then and now. While I think his lyrics were almost always brilliant, for me his music was too smooth, too produced and I dislike his musical brain (his chord choices and Americanisms). Different strokes etc.

Yep, it was written and released when music was really a central part of the lives of young people, and when the notion that "discovering a new band, or being part of a band, can change your entire life" was felt to be perfectly true by many people. Today music doesn't have that kind of importance to most young people anymore.
