It used to get radio play a few years ago...I heard this song the other day on MTV (it was just the music from this song for a 'True Life' episode.

Anyway...it is moderate paced, guitar (in a MINOR key) and drums in the beginning and I swear I keep hearing in my head the lyrics "when a woman loves a baby" (????????) I'm not sure that's quite it), sung in a lower voice

It's driving me crazy!!!!!!!

Thanks

uhm... and you're are pointing to a Live song?

"when a woman loves a baby" (????????) I'm not sure that's quite it)!!

I doubt that's it... A google search for that yielded nothing. The last song that live had that might have been on MTV was Heaven though I don't watch TV so I have no idea what they play or what "True Life" is.

Pretty Baby Song

or

When A Woman Loves A Man

???

Niether a Live song by the way!

It's not Lightning Crashes is it?

"lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall"

Maybe you got the lyrics jumbled, but that's what I was thinking of - Although there are not drums at the beginning, more-so in the middle. Also, I'm not sure about the note of the guitar, but Ed does sing a little lower - and it could've been played on MTV, as it was a popular song in the mid 90's. Hope this helps.

I saw that episode on re-run a few months ago. It was aired several years ago. The song is called Freaks.

if the mother goes to sleep with you
will you run and tell Geraldo
if the mother bears your children without tears
without the usual costs of labor

if the mother goes to bed with you
will you run and tell the neighbors
will you hide behind that get up that you wear
or will you take the first ear that comes into contact with your blade
like Peter did on the hill

will you call her a freak?
will you call them freaks?

if the mother goes to bed with you
will you run and tell the papers
how she picked you from a line up in downtown philadelphia
with a cigarette hangin' out of your mouth and henry miller in your back pocket
you little fucker

if the mother goes to bed with you
in the bowels of the cathedral
will you render her asunder with what she really needs
or will you crash that beautiful silence with some talk about
finding yourself in your mother's arms
