What is this song?
I was at a restaurant the other day, and this song came on that sounded really familiar, but I have no idea what it is. All i caught was one line of the chorus, but it was repeated a lot...
One guy says "ch-ch-changes" while there's people singing in the background "try to face the day"... I know this is very little info, but if anyone knows, lemme know |

The correct correct album is:

Re: What is this song?
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild A million dead-end streets Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse Of how the others must see the faker I'm much too fast to take that test Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence and So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Where's your shame You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time Strange fascination, fascinating me Changes are taking the pace I'm going through Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older Time may change me But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time |

WOW! I could swear those last lyrics were
Time may change me But I can't change time Anyway, this has decided me to put David Bowie's greatest hits on my Christmas list. I like Bowie, and realised I don't have a single thing by him! |

Similarly, was listening to Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt", and there is a lyric in the middle that goes: "you are someone else I am still right here" As this song is quite poignant when put into the context of his wife just passing away, I always thought the first lyric should have been changed to "You are some where else". Just one of those things that bugs me. |

"you are someone else I am still right here" [/ QUOTE ] I interpreted the "you are someone else" a more of a progression for that person, so it does kind of resemble what you are saying. |
