Enchanted
Prefab Sprout Lyrics

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do
I have been trying to keep up with the latest trends, just like my street smart friend does.

Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym
My friend is really into fitness and health, so we talk about exercise and nutrition while working out together at the gym.

Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted
This is the catchy chorus of the song, which is repeated throughout the track for emphasis and impact.

"Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore
Old-fashioned romantic phrases like "pray forsooth" and "I adore you" are no longer popular or effective in modern relationships.

So how'd you recognise a king? You ask yourself can that cat swing
In order to recognize someone as a true leader or influential person, you should consider whether they have charisma or good social skills that help them connect with others.

It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn
Now is the moment to work hard, push yourself to the limit, and strive for greatness like a tiger on the prowl.

And the calendar pages blew
The days and months are passing by quickly, as represented by the image of calendar pages blowing in the wind.

Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew
This is a reference to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, suggesting that society is often divided into factions or groups with different interests and beliefs.

We're addicted to friction too
Even though we want to avoid conflict, there is something exciting or addictive about experiencing tension or drama in our relationships or interactions with others.

Comin' down the years, plain enchantment
As time passes and we grow older, we still appreciate the magic and mystery of life that makes it all worthwhile.

That's the glue that binds and bonds
The joy and wonder we experience in life is what keeps us connected to each other and to the world around us, forming a strong bond of love and collaboration.

The dying to the new, plain enchantment
As old ideas and beliefs become irrelevant or outdated, we must embrace new ways of thinking and living that renew our sense of enthusiasm and wonder.

Ain't no purple rain quite like it
This lyric is a reference to the song "Purple Rain" by Prince, implying that the feeling of enchantment is just as powerful and memorable as that iconic melody.

Here's something to dwell upon
This line encourages listeners to think deeply and reflect on the themes and ideas presented in the song.

Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on
Life is short and unpredictable, so we should share love and kindness with each other while we still can, passing it down from generation to generation.

'Cause it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl
Even though many people are skeptical or cynical about love and beauty, we all have the capacity to be moved and affected by things that touch our hearts, just like sensitive women.

Ooh enchanted now we're living!
This is a joyful exclamation that celebrates the power and wonder of life, even in its most ordinary moments.
