Song Title Wanted
October 11, 2006 9:03 PM Subscribe
A friend of mine and I vividly remember a slightly cheesy, late 80s song that had a chorus along the lines of "Please tell them not to cry for me, it's a personal decision...(insert forgotten words here)...I'm just an old man dying to be free." Is this ringing any bells with anyone? We are both perplexed and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Response by poster: Ah, it is Bourgeois Tagg! Thank you so much, mystery solved!!

A band called Bourgeois Tagg had a song called "Dying to be Free" but I can't find the lyrics online.
Listing of some 80s songs with descriptions of what they're about; also on that site are other 80s resources that might help.
