song title and artist

[TEAK36]

I am trying to track dow a song I used to own years ago. I think it was called gracelands, but I cannot think of the group at all.I think it was around the late eighties. I can remember the following lyrics.

Will you build the Taj Mahal, and wear black every day of your life, you will never see Gracelands.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Lyrics for the song "Graceland"

Would I give you money?
I don't know
the free-est things in life are best
and so, put me to the test
now...

And when I die
will you build the Taj Mahal?
wear black every day of your life?
I doubt it

You will never see Graceland...
All my wanting, all my waiting, all my working
all my wickedness
for all my yearning, inside I'm shutting down

You will never see Graceland...

So what am I doing
without you?
Love at second sight would see me through
but not this time

You will never see Graceland...

All my wanting, all my waiting, all my working
all my wickedness
for all my yearning, all my yearning, all my yearning

You will never see Graceland...

Saw them live supporting China Crisis in 85/86 great band, and Boo Hewerdine is still a terrific singer/songwriter.
