It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

CORRECT.
What made this tricky was the specific lyrics.
The Pet Shop Boys released 2 songs that didn't chart so well,
then later re-released them, with marked improvements in their charting.
(The other was "Opportunities".)
The lyrics I posted were from the original, which included some lines
the later, more famous version, did NOT include.
So,
"I've said it all before, I'll say it all again: We're all modern men" was from only the original.
"We've got no future, we've got no past Here today. Built to last In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station" was from both.
"You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone, Just you wait 'til I get you home" was from both.
"All your stopping, stalling and starting, Who do you think you are- Joe Stalin?" was from the original.
To make matters worse, the later version mixed up the order of the lines that remained,
so "Finland Station" was the closing line, whereas the original ended with a repeat of the
opening lines- "Sometimes you're better off dead-there's a gun in your hand and it's pointed at your head."

Even if the lyrics aren't recognizable, the cadence was.

I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

I actually recognized this one, even without the last two posts. I can't remember who performed it, though.

Anyone for a game of Chess?
This piece may move any number of squares in a diagonal direction until it is prevented from continuing by another piece.

New to this game, but I'll give it a try.
My guess, Elvin Bishop, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love", circa 1976.

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Oh, folks but lately I have been spotted
With a Big Mac on my breath
Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders
With a face as white as death

Darn! This was on my wife's "Silly Songs" CD! I think the title is "Junk Food Junkie," but I can't remember the performer's name. :(

I would have been surprised if anybody got the singer on this one.
He was a real "one-hit wonder" named Larry Groce.
I think we should give George credit for getting the title first.

I wish I knew more about computers. Maybe then I would know how to replicate a falsetto voice and say something like "I'll sock it to you daddy."
