Fellow Power Popper Needs Help

Can any one help with the name and artist of this song?





Here are the lyrics

you left on a later train
i saw you
i called your name
there's a lot of the time ahead
and a whole new life
we had such good times together
we fought forever
they all thought we were brothers
we didn't care

and we live in different ways
just too many loose absent friends

how i want you home again
won't you ride back home
how i want you home again

it's funny how when you look back
it's always the road so sad
it's funny how we can't see that
it's human right
maybe we're scared to turn back
to live on, and move on
maybe we even have some right
to cover up tracks

and we live in different ways
just too many loose absent friends

how i want you home again
won't you ride back home
how i want you home again

Answer!! Thanks to reader Powerpako

  1. Sorry, not yet, but it does sound familiar. Any chance of getting a better quality sample? This one has some wicked phase (and volume)shifting going on that make it almost unlistenable. The chorus in particular is all distorted...

  2. I'm not familiar with this one. It is a poor quality recording but it didn't ring any bells. I tried searching the lyrics but then I'm sure you did the same. I'll send it to some friends see if they heard it.

  5. Listening to the track, without reading-along with lyrics, I heard, "you left on a LATE NIGHT train" for the first line.

    The search engines didn't turn up a match on that line, either.

  8. I'm trying to work on this to help you and it's driving me crazy. That voice is so familiar! All I can offer right now is my take on the lyrics, which differ from yours:

    you left on the late-night train
    i saw you
    i called your name
    jealous of all the time ahead
    in your new life
    we had such good times together
    we fought forever
    they all thought we were brothers
    we didn't care

    now we live in different ways
    just two memories, absent friends

    how i want you home again
    want you right back home
    how i want you home again

    it's funny how when you look back
    it's always the rosy side
    it's funny how we can't see that
    it's human pride
    maybe we're scared to turn back
    to rewind (?), and move on
    maybe we even have some right (this line does not soudn like this to me, but I can't make out anything better)
    to cover our tracks

    and we live in different ways
    just two memories, absent friends

    how i want you home again
    want you right back home
    how i want you home again

    Anyhow, I've tried several different searches. I love hunts like this, so I'll do my best!

  9. It might be a song called Nothing's wrong by The Bart Crow band
    i'm not sure!

  10. It definitely sounds like Housemartins-era Heaton. THAT's who I kept thinking of but couldn't place it.

  11. This is the early band of Heaton.The sound of guitar is similar, mod punk style.

  12. It is NOT Paul Heaton.
    This song sounds similar to SQUEEZE, to the song "Is that love?"
    I think they are british between 80 and 85...
