Any help is always appreciated. Thanks

Believe me, if I knew that one, I would have made it the anthem of my life. [B)] Sorry wish I could have helped you.

Rags To Riches by Gavin Friday has similar lyrics. Not a female lead though.

I worked for CMJ for a bit and remember a band called The Buck Pets that had a song called 'Pearls'...had to be 1990 or so...good band...don't know if you'll ever find them and they didn't have a female lead...they were sort of Hüsker Dü -ish...

I should know this song. I've been searching my collection, including some of the CMJ Certain Damage CD's of the late eighties, but no luck yet. I've only heard it once. Now if I could just remember where ...

The band was an 80's Los Angeles band called the Love Dolls, and the song was called "Pearls at Swine."

The Love Dolls were formed as a result of the underground movie "Desperate Teenage Love Dolls" (and its sequel "Love Dolls SuperStar") by Dave Markey, both of which are available through We Got Power Films http://www.wegotpowerfilms.com/ . "Desperate Teenage Love Dolls" starred members of Redd Kross and the Love Dolls, and featured music by those bands as well as Black Flag, the Nip Drivers and others. The Love Dolls were Jennifer Schwartz (vocals), Kim Pilkington (guitar), Abby Travis (bass) and Janet Housden (drums).

I'm not sure where you might get ahold of the album containing "Pearls at Swine" -- maybe e-bay or gemm.com? The Love Dolls did two albums -- "Love One Another" and another album that I can't remember the name of. Unfortunately, I think the album that I can't remember the name of is the one that has that song on it.

"Pearls at Swine" was written by Kim Pilkington, who passed away last month.
