80s AOR/indie song

I think this song is from the late 80s (maybe early 90s) but I don't know the artist or title, the singer is male and I just know a few snatches of lyrics, they are :-

Nowhere to go
I sit alone, unhappy man
Talk to myself
That's when I slip away
Take me down
Stab in the back
Cold as ice
Nobody knows a thing
Everyone cries

All help gratefully received, I've beentrying to track this one down for years!

I know all the lyrics to this song, because my dad has it on a tape he made in the 80s, but he doesn't know who the artist is!
I'm in the same boat as you..I wish I knew!!

Hi, could you post the lyrics here? It would be of some help.

With a sound sample at hand, I'd see a chance...

Thanks, I'll try to upload the song in the next few days

Here are the lyrics. Hope this helps, although some may be a little off because the guys voice is pretty hard to understand.

Verse 1:
I sit alone, no where to go
I sit alone, unhappy man
Talk to myself
They said its end of the world
'Cause everyone hates
'Cause everyone cries

Chorus:
Everyone cries
That's when I slip away
Take me down
Take me down
Everyone cries
That's when I slip away
Take me down
Take me down

Verse 2:
Everyone hates
A stab in the back
Always knives as cold as ice
Nobody cares
Nobody knows the pain
Cause everyone hates
And are forced in anger

Chorus

Intrumental Break

Chorus

Hi Adrianna,

That is definitely the song! I've been trying for soooooo long to find out who recorded this

Well, if you upload the song, we might finally figure out who the artist is

I tried to upload a one minute mp3 edit of the song yesterday but it wouldn't let me upload it. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know how else to make the song available! Any clues?

Try 4Shared's uploading service. =)

Here's the link:

OK, that's done - here's the link http://www.4shared.com/audio/JJ4GsuU...ody_cries.html Over to you good people now ......

I found another person looking for the song: http://www.inthe00s.com/archive/inth...44000090.shtml

It doesn't look like the other person tracked it down either!

Thanks so much for the upload!
Finally we've got something to work with.

For a starter, the sample was also very useful to define the GENRE. That's more like textbook new wave / power pop, rather than "AOR" (albeit with a slight "indie" flavor).
So your sound file will prevent me from digging around in the wrong crates

This (synth-laden) style resembles Hambi & The Dance, OMD, The World or Figures on a Beach.

Dan,

Thanks, but I've tried "Everyone Cries" by The Last Dance and, good song though it is, it's not the one I'm trying track down

The son you are all looking for is Les Enfants "Slipaway" and most likely the extended version. It is on youtube. Please reply so that I know this is correct.

"Les Enfants - Slipaway {1985}" reminds me of this song...

Cult - She Sells Sanctuary {1985}
