This song was played (quite a long time ago) on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio program, but I can't figure out the artist / group. There is a song by The Veronicas called "Another Life" but the lyrics just don't fit. Tonight he played another song by a group called The Grip Weeds which sounded amazingly like the Smithereens, and it almost seemed to fit the mystery tune from the way I hear the song in my head. In other words I'm thinking it could be the same group. Is there anyone out there who knows the identity of the artist or group behind this mysterious song? It is either "he was the man who lived another life" or "he was a man who lived another life." Thanks so much!
