Solved: Help, Love machine?

Hi there,

A few lyrics got into my head a few days ago and won't go away until I know the song. I've Googled my fingers off and can't find it. Please help. I can still hear the refrain, the pattern of the music and an image of the video which makes me think early 80's.

Here's the lyrics I can remember :

"My machine,
was designed,
with especially,
you in mind."

After each line there is a bit of a music blast like Dad dee da, music not words. I thought it was called Love Machine but Google doesn't agree.

I's a going mad folks, help please.

I found one other website with additional lyrics but no artist or title...

Hey Claybricks,

Lifesaver! I can relax now. Thanks so much. The version I recall was Pastoral Symphony, Aussie version by the Twilights mainly under that name.

The only thing that now puts me off a bit is seeing the producer's name. Geiff Edelsten. If you're Aussie you'll want to be sick, he's a creep..

Still, great song, ahead of it's time but I didn't think it was from '68. Don't the time slip away!
