80's group
Does anyone remember a group that was out for a second in the 80's called "This Island". They had a song named Eden, I think, on the only album they put out. Here is what a remember of the song:

Heaven must be there
oh yes it's got to be there
oh heaven
never seen eden
I don't want to live in this place

Despite all the heaven and eden refs, it is not a religious song or group. Is this something that years of chemical abuse has created? I started to think so today because I can not find any reference to them on the internet. I remember playing the tape in my walkman when I was a kid.

They were Australian. I don't think the album was ever released on CD, but I found that song ("Heaven") on an 80s compilation recently.

5. Hee hee...thanks!
It helps that I had the album. :D

From about 1972 to about 1992, I'm pretty good at that. People like playing "Stump the Chump" with me, and I kick butt at Trivial Pursuit music stuff.

reprehensor calls me "The Cray" after the Cray supercomputer. Kind of like having a roll-o-dex of silly musical trivia in my head.
