Clue time - not Elvis!
British band - no longer together. The lyrics are a slight clue to the title though...

Re: Name that tune
I had kinda figured it wasn't Elvis, unless he'd developed a really bad stammer! But it's clearly some kind of tribute to him. Not one I'm familiar with, I'm afraid.

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Sheena. Despite your hint though, I'm stuck again on this one. Mmmm ...
Although very topical at the moment, and we have plenty of them in our village, Falling Down a Pothole doesn't ring any bells.

Yes that’s near enough Jill, you’ve got the right words in there ‘Pavement Cracks’
Thanks for sticking with it. Your turn

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Sheena - as result of trying to nail that one down, there are now cracks in my brain.
Let's see if I can cause a few brain cracks with this one.

Re: Name that tune
the "left hand side" immediately made me think Radar Love until I thought that can't be right and stepped back and I'm now thinking 2,4,6,8, Motorway - Tom Robinson
