I Useta Lover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"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 singers lust for a girl whilst in church.[1] 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.
