i think it's from the early 80's and the only lyrics i remember from it go something like, "......tenement yard....love is hard....is hard"
please take a listen to the simple midi sample i've made of it here

i've downloaded several songs titled "tenement yard" to no avail so it's very probable the actual tune is titled something different
your help is much appreciated
thank you

it sounded like something i've heard before, but it ended too quick, if i could hear a little more of it i might be able to help ya....sorry

Sounded almost like The Specials
