1970s song

[butcher131]

I cant remember the title or the singer,but I tjink some of the words were, oh Allison please if im not mistaken your heart has taken a downward ride, he came along and burst your pretty balloon, now your heart sings a song thats really way out of tune.

[samuel23]

I think the tune you are referring to is called Alison By Elvis Costello and the Attractions

[gobshyte]

is it by dave martin and the wonderous wicker ****.

[Limeycat]

don't know what the song is, but it's not the one by Elvis Costello (which is an absolutely fabulous track, but doesn't have the lyrics you've quoted).
