    80s/90s/00s band. End of 80s release.

    iTunes says it's rock (by the original artist). I'd say it's electronica/dance, which they also apply to other works by this band.

    Lots of covers, most notably a male vocalist now dead, and a male vocalist who's decidedly odd, but has banged the sh!t out of some v acceptable poontang in his time.

    Makes me think of the Samaritans.

    Hmmm, further googling reveals that it's possible the version I found was an obscure cover done by an obscure band.

    I still stand by that for the song though!

    You didn't give the answer to this one!

    All week I've been tortured by the wrong answer!

    I know it's not "I've just come.... from a land down under", but I can't get that line out of my head.

    LiTs how can you not know that - you do live under a rock......

    I really should have got that......

    I am now standing up, getting changed and going to the pub!

    Here's one for you:

    When a man lies he murders some part of the world,
    These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
    All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
    Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

    No cheating now people :-)

    What? Scared to google the phrase "I've just come"?

    Probably wise, that.

    That he was with me, yeah me
