Two songs actually, which I think could be from the same band. I
caught this on a radio hour which also included The Beta Band and The
Notiwst.

First one:

Chorus goes:

"I know why if you believe me
I know I'm not out of my mind
I know why if you deceive me
I know I'm not the one who said I was right"

Some bits:

"Every time i choose my street it's got to be so much better"

"This girl on the gas station smiling like she's seen the inside of
me"

"This time" is repeated a lot through the song

Singer has a voice similar to Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd:

Chorus:

"It's only love
Don't break your heart
It's only faith
Don't push too hard
Cause you've got time
And you've got style
It's only sex
You've got to laugh
??? don't exist
Don't break too hard
Cause you've got time
And you can start again"

Male voice. 80s sound but must be recent. Similar to The Divine Comedy
or Pulp.

The song is 22 pistepirkko - This time

Dear luisffoliveira,

Concerning the first song, I have, alas, only bad news. I tried
everything I could think of to identify it by the extracts of the
lyrics you provided. But neither general search engines nor special
lyrics search engines were able to lead me to the right song, though I
tried various combinations, variations and writing variants. When this
brought me nowhere, I called two music TV stations and three radio
stations, but they could not help me either. After that, I surrendered
to the odds. I am shamefaced, but the first song proved absolutely
untraceable. Maybe it is a tune by little-known artists of very
limited or purely local notoriety since there seems to be no
information at all on a song with those or similar lyrics, I'm afraid.

But now to the good news: I managed to find out all details on the
second song! It is "Dark Hearted Discos" by the British band, Hefner.
It has been released February 25, 2002 together with four other songs
as "The Hefner Brain", a CD-EP (PURE125CDS) or 10-inch vinyl
(PURE125X), respectively, by the UK-based record label Too Pure.

You can find the complete lyrics of "Dark Hearted Disco" here:

A discography of the band Hefner can be found here:

This is Hefner's section on the website of Too Pure:

Search terms used:
"cause you've got time and you can start again":

hefner "dark hearted discos":

Again, I beg your pardon for not finding out more concerning the first
song and hope you are content with the information on the second tune.
Regards,
Scriptor

It's a question with two parts. The researcher only answered half of
the question. He did a good job on the second part but the first part
remained unanswered. I want to pay him half the fee if that's
possible.
