    All the time, I like you the best
    Just you, no matter what time of the day it is
    Irrespective of your proximity to me
    I don’t care, love, about your geographical location
    You are on my mind all of the time.

    No.
    Actually a much older song than that.
    But a reasonably well known standard.

    Nope, another clue so.
    The clue would relate more to an artist associated with the band.
    He is amongst those in this link

    He proceded to sing a song

    No-one got mine from ages back so I'll re-post it:

    Strange but it is a fact - what being alone can do,
    Since I departed,my feelings for you have grown with each passing 24 hours.

    Clue: It's a 60's song - not enough 60's on this thread! :-(

    "A fighter is coming back,
    I view him through bright illumination,
    Fleeing from people he doesn't know,
    I'll view him in the dip,
    Fight upon fight,
    warmth upon warmth,
    To make the tale shorter,
    I went quite insane.

    Reclining on a seat in a green space,
    A long way from a war,
    To make the tale shorter,
    I went quite insane.

    Standing around the night,
    Awaiting the arrival of a man,
    I am pretty and tidy,
    You're too youthful,
    to stand in the road,
    awaiting the arrival of persons unknown."

    The song isn't at all obscure but I suppose we all just know the chorus.

    That overweight shiny sphere is going to glisten like a piece of over polished silver cutlery,
    But we are not going to do anything about it, You will be glad you did.
    Remove all footwear, Don't be afraid.
    Carry that glass object filled with liquid to me.
    I will be an infant for you for the evening.

    You could be my girlfriend but you're kinda taking the piss. You talk in a rather nasty manner and maybe as if you are on drugs, and totally unproductive. I repeat, you could be my girlfriend.
