    Indeed!
    I was not familiar with much of their other work and really enjoyed listening to a few CDs. Hubby has good taste- that's why he married me, right?!? :D
    You're up @RunTimer!

    Simon LeBon has such a distinctive voice.
    Here's another one and my clue:


    All I've got is a red guitar, 3 chords and the truth

    Hmm... I really thought it was more common rock and roll knowledge :|

    Oh wow, okay, let's start here:
    It's somewhat of an "ad-libbed" lyric line (depending on which "wiki-source" you believe), on a live cover done by an outrageously popular Irish group on their same-named album & movie released in the fall of '88.

    "All I got is a red guitar
    Three chords
    And the truth

    All I got is a red guitar
    The rest is up to you"

    That's why I don't recognize it. 1988 is after my expiration date.

    U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky

    I'm not sure it's correct but I now have the lyric in my head and I think that's the tune that goes with it.

    Just 'cheated' the lyrics. Not correct. :(

    That is a great song, lyrics-wise, as well.
    "You take the staircase to the first floor
    Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
    As a man breathes into a saxophone
    And through the walls you hear the city groan
    Outside is America
    Outside is America, America"

    HEY WAIT @RunTimer!!
    I just double-checked my first guess and I was correct, although it wasn't what you had in mind.
    Ray Charles & Billy Joel both sang "Georgia On My Mind" :D
