and I can't find ANYONE who can tell me what it is!

I thought of you...........but anyone can jump in and "Name That Tune" and/or artist.....if you know!

I hate when this happens......and I won't reast till I know!

OK....here's what I thought of this morning......


****"Like a mad man, I'm up in the morning.....

Head for the walls of heartache.....

Working everyday.....

Bringing home the pay the hard way......"****


I know scotz or IAKG will know.....I am having "Old Timers Disease" today! (Shaddup!....NO reflection on the fact that it's my birthday and shit!)

TY in advance for your help!

Lixy...first of all, happy birthday! Secondly, this is all the same song? The second line I recognized a version of: "Shooting at the walls of heartache" which is part of "The Warrior" by Scandal featuring Patty Smyth, but the rest of the lyrics don't fit. Let me do some research, g/f.

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, then let it, and if you have to wait for what you really want, take the time because nobody said that life would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it." ~ Unknown author

Oh! And FYI:

THE WARRIOR
Scandal

You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized

Well isn't love primitive
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
Your heart's still wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, you talk too me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh
Who's the hunter, who's the game
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged in the call of the wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior



The song you're thinking of--any idea of when it came out?

Lixy--here's another similar line:

Nirvana
Dazed & Confused

Been dazed and confused for so long
It's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abused telling all of your lies,
Run arounds sweet baby lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been,
Gonna love you baby here I come again

Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby let them say what they will.
Won't hurt so much when I send you the bill

Originally by Led Zeppelin

Scotz--or someone--help! Lixy's passed on her "I've-got-to-know-or-it-will-drive-me-crazy"-ness. It's like a Pixie's version of Songburst, only worse!

Anyone?

Drawing a complete blank on that one...I don't recognize any part of the lyric, other than the "walls of heartache", & the rest don't fit...could be Lixy has landed a true obscurity here...sorry I can't help, maybe if more clues pop up you can pass them along Lixy...

Well, at least I know now I'm not completely crazy for not recognizing it! Lixy, any help? I'll keep it in the back of my mind and devote some more brain power to it.

OMG!!!! I'm so sorry I have been gone for so long! Big party Saturday night and I had to drive sis back to Jersey yesterday!

Holy shit! I can't believe I thought of this song.....and that no one here has the thing yet!

OK, well........it's definitely NOT Patty Smyth....cause (1) It's a guy who sings it and (2) It's waaaaaay before her time. I was watching nostalgic VH1 Saturday morning and a song by Smokey Robinson came on but I wasn't watching the TV and as the song he sang started....I thought it was this one.

It's NOT a Motown song........

Here's all I got......I forget the "in-between" words and so I thought I would ask you guys! Now I'm gonna be nuttier ALL DAY! LMAO!

"Like a mad man I'm up in the morning......heading for the walls of heartache........working everyday....bring home the pay the hard way."

MUMBLED WORDS HERE

*CHORUS (in my words as I don't remember them correctly)

*Breakin down the walls of heartache baby......I'm talking to my soul of affection....
Breakin down the walls of heartache baby.....I'm tearing down the loneliness and tears that build up with the thoughts of love...
Breaking down the walls of heartache
Shakin down the walls of heartache

**Organ starts playing here


It's a group that sings this.........

I know a guy at work that MIGHT know.......if he doesn't......I'll shake it out of him! LMFAO!

Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache by Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon.

I have the mp3 file and I can send it to you if you want it.

Well, that's a relief...I don't know that song, so I wouldn't have any way to recognize it...funny thing, the Wife called me at work today with a ? for the Music Perfesser, which he was able to answer right away..."who did the original version of 'Signs'?" A: 5-Man Electrical Band, another 1HW...now I can't seem to remember which hair band of the 80s covered the song...anybody?

SUGARSPRINKLES!!!!!! I LOVE YOU HUN! OMG.....I was on a site today that had.....(I think it was Dexy's Midnight Runners)...a group called Dexy's......and I did a Real Player download of the first verse....and it was the song I wanted......but the singer had an accent. This made me think it was Dexy's Midnight Runners.....them being from Ireland and all.....but it wasn't the "original" artists!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I would love you to send me the mp3!

Is there any way we can get it to post here too? So that you can all hear the song that has been driving me crazy......and now I have everyone here and at work searching the world over to find it! I swear.......I have gone to bed thinking this song......and as soon as I wake.....there it is again!

OMG SS! I think I need to hug the stuffins outta you!

*HUUUUUUUGGGGGGGSSSSSSS*

Lixy--check scotz's post--it was the *Five* Man Electrical Band, but scotz was questioning who covered it in the 80s.
