I need help ID a song and artist. I believe the song is named Charity. It came out in the early to mid 1980's. The lyrics go something like this:

(Positive about these lyrics)
All my friends think that I'm a total wreck
I'm in love with a nymphomaniac
All day long
I can't keep her off of her back

(Less sure about these)
She's my only lover
Baby, I don't need another
I'm just doing fine
All my friends say to me
Stay away from Charity
But I'll just go on blind


I had it on a mixed tape which also had "Backyard" from Miracle Legion and "Dead Eyes" from Guadalcanal Diary if that helps date it.

Thanks

I am terrible at lyrical identifications, but I think this was a Massachusetts band by the name of The Sighs. Let me check around and find out for sure.

You're right - it's The Sighs:

Thanks!

motors comes better prepared than I. Big props!

That song played on Boston radio in, maybe, late '84/early '85. It's on CD, too. Who knew?

Another one of their tracks (which I don't remember from just name alone) is on the same volume.

Gotta Get Control was the other song in question.
