The artist, formerly and presently known as Prince is correct Plummy.

Re: Name that tune
Sorry, sort of chaotic week at work, so giving more clues slipped my mind. But here's the next line:

Re: Name that tune
I didn't google the words but looked up a track list for Prince - and reckon by a process of elimination that it's - Sign Of The Times...?

Re: Name that tune
Thank you Plummy.
Although this song doesn't appear to have been put up before, it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for the little grey cells.
But it's home
The only life I've ever known

Re: Name that tune
I think I have this on an obscure, later MUD album as well. Good old BOOM radio in the UK playing stuff like this. I'll pop something new up shortly...

Re: Name that tune
OK - a couple of clues. The next line is the song title.
US band (trio) one with an ironic name.

Re: Name that tune
OK, this was a big hit in the UK, but have not checked anywhere else. So apologies in advance ...
First 2 lines though.
