[rec.music.gaffa] Help, what song is this?

kak@alux5.att.COM (Kurt A Kanaskie) (04/04/91)

I heard a song on a progressive radio staion in NJ
WHTG 106.3 Eatontown NJ and I cant find the artist.

The chorus is:

	The things I do for money...
	I'll never understand...
	I used to be quite practical.
	But now I find I'm tactical...

It was sung by a male artist, which sounds like
Lloyd Cole or Peter Case.

Please reply to me. Thanks.

Good guesses, but it's a band (from Canada???) called Northern Peaks .
. . (err . . . or was that Pikes . . . no, I think it's Peaks).  There
was a video of this song that used to get shown on eMpTyV's 120
Minutes show back when it first started.  Oh yeah, the song is called
"The Things I Do For Money."
