Re: Name that tune
My only other guess would be The Foo Fighters - but can only think of a couple of songs - Monkey Wrench, Learning to Fly

Re: Name that tune
Thanks Carole. I tend to go with the next song I hear on the radio that I think might be well known - and this one is no different..
"You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best"
"You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'

Re: Name that tune
Darn - just got it as I re-read the clue. Jill has it right - C W McCall - Convoy (I hate to admit but I own a copy of that - inherited from my dad as he was a trucker!)

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Steve - it was the ' rubber duck ' ' wot did it ' ... and no, I do not have a copy of this.
This song was the first one that came up on my iPod shuffle this morning.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Re: Name that tune
More clues I think.
First line of the first verse:
I am so high, I can hear heaven
The song is the soundtrack to the 2002 film about a Marvel comic book character.
