Aaaaaigh! Need Help! Earworm is gonna eat my brain!
This is one song that comes back to eat your brain just after you think you've gotten rid of it. I heard it again today when doing some food shopping. I damned near went insane trying to get a good spot where I could hear the name of the song and the band that sings it. As usual, I didn't succeed.
Now I'm going to have this tune eating me alive for another 4 months.

Song is old, probably early to mid eighties. Kind of a pop/soft rock tune on the idea of Ambrosia or some other band like them. Tune still appears on the radio every now and then. Have no clue as to the name of the band, one thing I do believe is that the group was a one or two hit flash that was never heard from again.
I think the title of the song is "Slipping Away" or "Slipping Away from Me". I have used that title on Napster and Itunes but no luck. Here are some lyrics

Your alibi is watertight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But Honey I can tell
I know the pattern much to well
I know you're slipping away from me

Anyone is more than welcome to have a good laugh at my expense considering this is such a syrupy pop tune. If I don't get rid of this earworm, my next residence will be a rubber room and my wardrobe will be a selection of straight jackets.
Please Help !!
:crazy: :yoiks:

2. perhaps---information society??
Well Ive been thinking of the way you used to talk to me
And now it seems we never talk at all

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was
The first time
But I can feel you slipping away
And I cant think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away

Well I can see you talking softly on the phone again
And more and more you need to be alone
It seems I make you angry just by being near
And even when were together now I still feel lonely

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was
The first time
But I can feel you slipping away
And I cant think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away
