Prefab Sprout - Don't Sing

Prefab Sprout's third single, "Don't Sing" preceded their debut album Swoon (1984). The album as a whole and the single as well differs a bit from their later albums with its intricate song structures, but the entire album is just as marvelous as everything Paddy McAloon has ever written - more or less. It's always a joy to hear this song and despite the title, it does make me want to sing along.
