Name that Band!!!

Chinafoot

howdy all!

i heard a song a little while back and it has been stuck in my head ever since but i have no idea who its by. i think its called cowboy song or something like that. i've searched the net but cant find it so can any of you help?

its starts off with a didgery-doo and heres some of the lyrics:

"sitting on a trail,
wasting all my time
the horse has lost its way
the rations have declined
and i can feel the sun
beaming down like a steam filled engine
burning red coals pound by pound
on this desert fronted shade (???)

(chorus)
and i can see the sun over the town
but i dont know the way
to stand up to this place (???)


and riders pass me by
turns my motivation dry
and i havent slept for days
just caught up in this haze.
theres comfort in this dust
its hiding me from a debt i owe
for an unknown gambling bust
thats haunted me for days

(chorus)
and i can see the sun over the town
but i dont know the way
to live and still not play (????)

we're still sitting on this trail
half my lifes gone by
the horse has passed away
been eaten up by flies
and i can feel the rain
pouring down like a gift from heaven
wash away all of my pain
im lost and wont be found

(chorus)
i used to see the sun over the town
but now its gone away
i guess that i should stay."


ur help is very much appreciated! i love this song!

More info might help. Did you hear it on the TV or Radio, what station and what time ?

Male or Female singer. Is it a band or an individual. Hard to tell at times I know.

Chinafoot

tbh honest i cant remember where i heard it.

it was a male singer with female backing.

What are you? Some type of Idiot Savant?

Put some of the lyrics into google.

I've already tried this at google.com, a9.com and ixquick.com. None of them returned a match.

Ro: maaan!

I must say it is quite a situation when you know all the words to a song, and still have no idea what it is or who it's by. Doesn't happen often.

WTF?? You hear a song once when you're locked and you remember all the lyrics, i think you're taking the piss

Spacedog

Perhaps you imagined you heard the sone, but actually subconciously composed it within a moment of clarity in your drunken state! As such I suggest you produce the song and release it, make a mint. My fee is 20%

Its not the Hothouse flowers by any chance? I know Liam O Maonlai is into the didgereedoo (sic).

I assume your being sarcastic.
If not, he didn't know the name of the song or band, so how could he get the lyrics from a site? If he got them by searching for a couple of lyrics he did remember, surely the site would tell him the name of the song and the artist.
