A new quiz ... of sorts

[ericcoleman]

I'm going to try to do this every morning (that I remember). I will push play on my IPod and then quote a lyric from the first song that comes up. You tell me what the song is. This may get really tough ...

So you sold your ocean home ain't that a pity
And your mermaids disappeared without a trace
Now you comb the streets of sandcastle city

I dropped the 4th line, cause it's the name of the song ... so, what is the song and who is it by?
