I have a song stuck in my head that I cannot remember the name to or who performed it. I believe it came out in the (early?) 90's, but I'm not sure. It's kind of an alt rock ballad. I heard it on a retro program on a Providence, RI station.

It starts off like this:
I remember you,
Do you remember me too?
Born on the fourteenth of July,


That's as far as I remember before the chorus...

Then the chorus goes:
'Cause I would give everything that I own,
I'd give you this flesh and this skin and these bones,
The sun the moon the earth the sky,
The motorcycle that I like to ride,
I would give anything, I would give anything,
To be your everything


Of course, I could be a bit off on the lyrics. If anybody knows the song/band, please speak up before I go mad!!!

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - even you, mrdeadfolx - you've halted my descent into madness! This forum is the bee's knees. After your help I did some research and discovered that the original version by Material Issue is the one I heard. It's a bit stripped-down compared to the Stereo Fuse version. Boy, I really messed up the lyrics, didn't I? How'd you guys even know what I was talking about?
