name that tune!

[doug boardley]

let's see if this goes! A spot the intro game, you write the first line of a song ( nothing to obscure, say a chart or album tune from last 25-30 years), whoever guesses it, starts the next lyric. We'll trust poster to know if they answered correctly! OK I'll start with a simple one;
"The silicon chip inside her head, gets switched to overload"NO GOOGLING!!

ok, try this
"all this frustration,I can't meet all my desires"

 

[Aztectiler]

this one got me stumped but after consulting a friend he told me it might be
James, Born of frustration. If this is correct then try another from me:
my tea's gone cold
wondering why got out of bed at all
