Help with finding Song
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.

2. The Roches
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 09:18 AM by zauberflote
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
