..so to speak. I know I'm not giving anyone a heck of a lot to go on here. But does anyone remember a song where they said "..and I took a maaans life.." throughout the song? I was thinking it was 242 but I can't find the song anywhere and a friend now has me second guessing Front 242 as the group. I'm blurring Headhunter and the song I'm trying to remember for some odd reason. Anyway, if anyone had a clue it would be this group so I decided to take a stab in the dark and ask. Like I said, I know that's not a heck of a lot to go on but that's all I can remember. It was an awesome song they played in the clubs back in the late 80's here in Houston.

Headhunter?

I thought it was Headhunter but it isn't. It pisses me off that I can't remember the name of it. And that I can only remember that little bit of the song.

I know this may be a stretch.. but based on the lyric snippet you provided, could it be "Freemason (You Broke The Promise)" by the Aussie synth pop band Boxcar?

Atreyu's almost certainly right--the lyric is from Boxcar's "Freemason", and that was a dancefloor hit at about the same time as "Headhunter."

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!!!!!

Atreyu, you are truly a Great American (aka niiiice)!!!! I've been trying to remember this song for MONTHS!!! Never even thought to post what I remembered thinking, "What are the odds someone will be able to figure it out!" Out of sheer frustration I just gave it a shot yesterday!! I REALLY appreciate that man!

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe it!! YES!!!!!!!!! Thanks again!

Atreyu, iTunes had it! I'm about to get in my Viper and destroy everyone on the road, whilst jamming to Boxcar!

Glad to be of help..

BTW: I have a few different versions of Freemason.
