NOT Robyn Hitchcock

Late 80's cover of More Than This......male singer, possibly acoustic, but not Robyn Hitchcock.

Didn't find it on the Wikipedia list of covers. Didn't find it on iTunes.

I had it on a mix tape in, probably, '88. Do you know who it was?

To answer this, we're presuming you mean that the original is by Roxy Music, yes?

Could it be Tim Finn? He, too, is a late 80s crooner and Split Enz toured with Roxy Music. I googled, but couldn't find anything.

Might it have been Brian Ferry? He kept the song in his repertoire long after he left Roxy Music.

Bryan, even?

I give up, and I have 80s music creds. In consolation, here's an interesting cover.

Bill Murray sings it during a karaoke scene in the movie Lost in Translation.
