I Useta Lover

I Useta Lover

"I Useta Lover" is a 1991 song by Irish rock group The Saw Doctors. It is the second single off the "If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back" album. It stayed at the #1 position in the Irish chart for a record nine weeks and became the best-selling single of all time in the country, despite efforts by the Catholic Church to get the record banned over lyrics describing the singer's lust for a girl whilst in church. [ [http://www.wilmslowexpress.co.uk/entertainment/magazine/s/601388_main_event_almost_home Main event: almost home - Magazine - Entertainment - Wilmslow Express ] ] A similar anti-clerical message is seen in other Saw Doctors songs, notably "Bless Me Father" and "Tommy K".

The chorus of the song was originally taken from a song of the same name which was performed by Davy Carton's first band, Blaze X. The original song had been written by Paul Cunniffe.
