This is an update on my song request from yesterday.
I have just found this song on my old tapes and have the exact lyrics.Here goes:
Messages beamed straight from Mars,straight in
my mind,they made me do it,they made me do it

Everyone seems to be playing a starring role in
their own desperate domestic scenario,playing
simulated confrontations of the third kind(repeat several times)
the singer or talker actually has a cockney accent and the song has a heavy drum and synthesizer sound.
I hope someone can identify it.

Right on Wave,you got it!This was one of those great songs that didn't get much airplay.Thanks for solving the mystery.

Snake Charmer was more rare for Jah Wobble. He got more airplay on the West Coast.
