Anyone recognise this song - 80-82, played on Peel?

From another site - trying to help the guy:

Hello- I used to record John Peel's show in the early 80's (bet that makes me unique) in 1980 or 1981 (1982 at a push)- he played Frantic Elevators 'searching for the only one' and Killing Joke 'Complications' on this particular show.
This is a long shot but....I am interested in another song he played that night
I taped the show, but missed the title due to enthusiatic use of the pause button. I have long chewed the tape.
The song had a one note bass line; drums maybe 60bpm; a bit of keyboard going on; vocals- very stylised, a bit like (and this sounds terrible) Spandau Ballet. The segment of lyric I can remember goes 'I'M THE ONE YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR, (repeat,repeat)' and it ends with the repeated phrase 'YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR'.
