Name this Song that won't leave my head

Ok popnetters, woke up last week with a song going through my head. Gradually getting the lyrics together (I think).

I think it's an early 90's song. I'm sure I had the album when I was about 16yrs old. I had an indie influence - it won't be dance/house music.

Lyrics (hoping got right words)

I won't give in
I won't give up
I won't sit down
I won't shut up.

Cos" (blah blah not sure of words)
It's (blah blah not sure of words)

Help identify it please. Asked my mate and she said James, but it's not.

Is it sung in a shouty style? Male or female?

MichelleScarn · 30/12/2022 15:07

Those lyrics bring up Frank Turner?

Photosynthesis by Frank Turner

MaryDerry · 30/12/2022 15:08

It's a male singer.
It's half sung / half chanted.

Think it's a band but only think that because most of my music was indie type bands then.

It's not Frank Turner (dunno who he is).

But off to Spotify Frank Turner in case he was in the band or done a cover version ...

Frank Turner Photosynthesis

I won’t sit down
and I won’t shut up
and most of all I will not grow up

cos if all you ever do with your life is photosynthesise
then you’ll deserve every hour of those sleepless nights that you waste wondering when you’re gonna die

excellent song

MaryDerry · 30/12/2022 15:15

It's not that one.

It's a similar rousing chorus style,
The one I'm thinking of is less fierce.
But I am currently listening to Frank and enjoying this.

Wildcard - Eminem?

MaryDerry · 30/12/2022 15:19

No, it's more indie vibe, stare at shoes on the dance floor and shake you hair about.

I doubt it's this but similar lyrics in Duran Duran's I Don't Want Your Love, from 1988

… I like noise, 'cause I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down, I can't shut my mouth
But when you understand me
You might feel good around me

Is it the Jason Mraz song? It's called 'i won't give up'

Holdontowhat · 30/12/2022 15:30

Tom petty 'I won't give up' ?

Holdontowhat · 30/12/2022 15:30

Sorry ' I won't back down' Tom petty

The song that comes to mind is Independence Day by the Comsat Angels but that was 80’s .

MaryDerry · 30/12/2022 15:51

Arghhhhhh no. Its not those.
But wow to reminding me about the Comsat Angels. They were a fav of one of my siblings (who saw them about 10yrs ago at some event).

Not the right lyrics but your description made me think of In a room by The House of Love

MaryDerry · 30/12/2022 22:40

Oh The House of Love. A total fav of mine. They were so underrated 😔.

But it's not one of theirs......
