Please guess the song and artist from the lyrics. 

No internet usage please.

I'm hoping that we may get different generations join in.

If no-one gets it, then just post a new one.

You're watching yourself but you're too unfair

You got your head all tangled up but if i could only

Make you care

No matter what or who you've been

No matter when or where you've seen

All the knives seem to lacerate your brain

I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain

You're not alone

Parents
  • This was my 1st single.

    I purchased it with money send to me by my paternal Nana and Grandad.

    I was 10.

    There she stood in the street
    Smiling from her head to her feet
    I said hey, what is this
    Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss
    I said hey, what's your name baby
    Maybe we can see things the same
    Now don't you wait or hesitate
    Let's move before they raise the parking rate
    ...
    I took her home to my place
    Watching every move on her face
    She said look, what's your game baby
    Are you tryin' to put me in shame
    I said slow don't go so fast
    Don't you think that love can last
    She said love, Lord above
    Now you're tryin' to trick me in love
  • Here' my first single...

    "I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
    I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
    The devil take your stereo and your record collection (oh-oh)
    The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension

    Stand and deliver your money or your life
    Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
    I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
    The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
    So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking? (oh oh)
    It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making
    Stand and deliver your money or your life
    Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
    And even though you fool your soul
    Your conscience will be mine
    All mine
    We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
    Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
    We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation (oh oh)
    "Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"
    Stand and deliver your money or your life
    Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
    And even though you fool your soul
    Your conscience will be mine
    All mine
    Qua qua da diddley qua qua da diddley"
