I was at a customers house yesterday (networking their computer) when a song came on their radio that I liked but didn't catch the name.
It's slightly "Folk music" sounding with parts that had extremely dissonant harmonies.
I think the words were something like: want to getaway from you or have to get a way with you
I know this is vague but does this ring a bell for anyone??

| 1. Could the line have been "Let me have my way with you?" |
|
If so, it could have been "It's Only Natural" by Crowded House.

If it was sung by three women, then I'm pretty sure the song you're talking about is One Season from The Roches second record, "Nurds" from the early 1980s. It's an absolutely great song, one of their best. I'm a Roches junkie so if there's anything you want to know about them...
One season I was born fell down like an acorn I am the only tree and everybody leaves
I've got to get away from you
Bud growing up at me resentful face I see a harsh light seems to damn you is it because I am you?
I've got to get away from you I need to find a love that's true
Loose leaf lay on the bed hair falling around her head I watched her from the shore I can't do any more
I've got to get away from you I'll come and visit you in the zoo
We go on arguing no one can say a thing set down your key and trumpet go have a dream and hump it
I've got to get away from you you don't know what you put me through
Prized fighter with bruised pride a fuse blew when you tried to fix the worn out wire and set the house on fire
I've got to get away from you if only for a day or two
