Yet Some More…!

Can you remember which group / artist sang the following?

Here by the sea and sand - nothing ever goes as planned. I just couldn't face going home - it was such a drag on my own. They finally threw me out. My ma got drunk on stout. My dad couldn't stand on two feet as he lectured about morality.
When I saw her standing there, I about fell out my chair, and when she moved her mouth to speak, I felt the blood go to my cheek. Well it took time for me to know what she tried so not to show - the obligation that she made to the title that they gave….
The local ditty bop pimp walks in - feeling limp, he sits down with a grin next to a lady who's never been chaste - the bartender wipes a smile off his face….
Think I'll pack it in and buy a pickup - take it down to LA. Find a place to call my own and try to fix up - start a brand new day. The woman I'm thinking of - she loved me always - but I'm so down today. She's so fine - she's on my mind - I hear her calling…
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade - laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made - finds a streetlight - steps out of the shade - says something like "you and me babe how about it?" Juliet says "hey it's Romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack". He's underneath the window she's singing "hey la my boyfriend's back." "You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that - anyway what you gonna do about it?"
The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night when the ship's bell rang Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel there's a voice in my head that drives my heel. No more speed I'm almost there. Gotta keep cool now I gotta take care. Last car to pass, here I go and the line of cars go down real slow. The radio's playing some forgotten song. Brenda Lee is coming on strong. And the newsman sang his same song. One more radar lover's gone. When I get lonely and the longing gets too much…….
So long ago I don't remember when, that's when they say I lost my only friend. They said she died easy of a broken heart disease, as I listened through the cemetery trees. I see the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn. Long broken arm of human law. It always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face and I wondered why she hung around this place. Hey hey hey, Come on try a little, nothing is forever, there has to be something better than in the middle. Me and Cinderella, put it all together we can drive home, with one headlight.
I was lost 'til you were found but I never knew how far down I was falling before I reached the bottom. I was cold and you were fire and I never knew how the pyre could be burning on the edge of the ice field….And now the chilly California wind is blowing down our bodies again and we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand - Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart and can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart - and don't you hear me crying oh babe don't go - and don't you hear me screaming how was I to know ? I'm in the middle of nowhere near the end of the line but there's a border to somewhere waiting and there's a tankful of time. Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day and take me to another land where I won't have to say that I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do…..
She hangs her head and cries on my shirt. She must be hurt very badly. Tell me what's making you sad, Li? Open your door, don't hide in the dark. You're lost in the dark, you can trust me. 'Cause you know that's how it must be. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain upon the pain getting deeper. Though my love wants to relieve her. She walks alone from wall to wall. Lost in her hall, she can't hear me though I know she likes to be near me.
Sometime late at night, as you lie awake in bed with the echos of the amplifiers ringing in your head. You smoked the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said. Here I am on the road again, here I am up on the stage. Here I go playing the star again. Here I go, turn the page.
