Good choice on that one, Jim. It’s “No One is to Blame” by Howard Jones I think.
A big hit on both sides of the Atlantic from 1970:
She's really got a magical spell
and it's working so well
that I can't get away
Love Grows - Edison Lighthouse

Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Edited to add - I don't know if this one will fly - In the USA it was very high on the Alternate Rock charts (which must have really amused the singer). From what I have read, those charts are determined by top radio play - which is why I thought that it had a chance. Here is what Wikipedia says about the US Alternate Rock charts -
Alternative Songs (formerly Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks) is a music chart in the United States that has appeared in Billboard magazine since September 10, 1988. It lists the 40 most-played songs on modern rock radio stations, most of which are alternative rock songs. The chart was introduced as a companion to the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and its creation was prompted by the explosion of alternative music on American radio in the late 1980s.
The chart is based solely on radio airplay. As of 2008, approximately 80 radio stations are electronically monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.[1] Songs are ranked by a calculation of the total number of spins per week with its "audience impression", which is based upon exact times of airplay and each station's Arbitron listener data.
The singer is English and has a huge discography - but not too much in the USA. This song was 1990.
I'll post the answer soon if it it still looks dead.
