Yep, sounds like Ringo stole it from the Oils!

 

Where’s the lawyer who represented Van Morrisin, Joe Satriani or Huey Lewis?

Okay, maybe this is a total coincidence, but I was just listening to Ringo Starr's 2010 album, "Y Not", and the second track, "Peace Dream" has a line:  "No more hunger, no more pain"

 

Which is very similar to "No more doubt, no more pain" from Breathe's "Time to Heal".

 

But the weird thing is the melody and timing are almost exactly the same too.  Listen at 0:30 here: http://youtu.be/uOrTY4GJ0GA

 

It jumped right out at me.

 

By the way, Paul McCartney plays bass on this track, for those who care about that sort of thing.
