Ive got to get away? Song I can't get out of my head, but don't know what it is

[m***@gmail.com]

Hey so I realize this is an old post but whatever. I think the song you were thinking of was Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat... I could be totally wrong but sounds like Tainted Love, is catchy, but is such a hard song to remember. Anyway, sorry for bringing this forum back up but figured it’s worth mentioning.

Could be Shattered Dreams, by Johnny Hates Jazz.
That's what first came to my mind...
It's electronic and very catchy

"And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart"

Surely you have your answer by now, but in case you don't. I believe you're talking about "Vanity Fair" by The Ocean Blue

[TriangleGames]

I'm pretty sure I found this page because I was looking for the same thing.
If I'm right, it has a very clear electronic/synth feel, more like a Gary Numan kind of vibe.
Lyrics, as I recal, are something like:
"I've got to runaway, run awaaaay, toniiight
Ooooooh, da-da da-daaa da-daaaaaaa DUN! DUN!"
(possibly)
"Ooooooh, where do we gooo from heeeere, DUN! DUN!"

EDIT: Nope! I was wrong, and I am astonished. The song I was thinking of was Freetime by Kenna, but that wasn't released until 2003, and the original post here is from October of 2002. So, unless he heard some sort of pre-release version of the album, there's no way we could be talking about the same song. Oh, and there are no lyrics to that second part in Freetime. It's just "oooooh, oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oooooh."

A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) is obviously the ACTUAL song, yall are very....imaginative....

The song you're talking about is Runaway by Jefferson Starship! Hope this answer makes it to you!

[Derek Lao]

One that I'm thinking of, and been looking for, I feel goes something like

All I wanna do is, to love you
All I wanna be is, beside you
All I wanna... (some lyrics)
Run away, Run away, Run away...

Nah, either Psycho Killer by Talking Heads or I Ran by A Flock of

Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz?

It’s gotta be tainted love it goes exactly like that I don’t know more people haven’t put this.

Here are some lyrics
Sometimes I feel I've got to run away
I've got to get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my life
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Because there's nothing like "run awayyyyy" in Tainted Love :)

Good song tho.
