It's Jerry Harrison of the talking heads... Late 80s I think 

Man With a Gun, by Jerry Harrison

A pretty girl, a pretty girl
Can walk anywhere
All doors open for her
Like a breath of fresh air
Her beauty, it precedes her
Wrapped in her beauty
Everywhere, she is welcome
First class on the plane
Closed door of the club
All faces turn, all faces turn
And they come alive
With a desire to protect her
Nothing can interfere
With a dream of dreams so near
And when she caught my eye
We were those for whom
The rules do not apply
Pretty girl young man old man
Man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply
To people in love
Pretty girl young man old man
Man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply
To people in love
On a wire, a high wire
She likes to balance on a knife
She says on the wire
That is living, oh
You can forget the rest
On the wire, that is living
Each step must be in place
So don't look down
One false move is all it takes
We'd rather risk it all
Roll the dice and let them fall
They say we can't survive
But a life like this keeps me alive
Doesn't matter where we are
I still say the rules do not apply
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply to people in love
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Two people in love (Two people in love)
The rules do not apply to people in love, do not apply
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Man with a gun
(Two people in love)
The rules do not apply to people in love
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Man with a gun
(Two people in love)
The rules do not apply to people in love
The rules do not apply to people in love, do not apply
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Man with a gun
(Two people in love)
The rules do not apply to people in love, do not apply
Pretty girl young man old man man with a gun
Man with a gun

I recognize this from back inb the day and just ordered the CD with that endorsement. It's geat how RP keeps the music alive and that we can support the artists and still buy their music.

I never heard this. Don't know the artist either. Thanks Bill & coloradojohn

Wow... I wore this tape out when released! The whole album is frickin' AMAZING. The undeniable, inimitable FUNK talent, the wild imagination, the trippiness of it all... One of my best purchases! And I got it for only a dollar at the market in Legian during my first of three times to Bali, and took it with me back to rural coastal Shizuoka, where I continued freaking out on it... Haven't heard it in years... An interesting cascade of memories and associations, Captain! Side effects may include Frozen Margs and Cadillac Rainbows.
