Two simple songs about longing: Swearing at Motorists, "Flying Pizza" The Mekons, "Where Were You?" And some simple words on death: The Handsome Family, "Drunk by Noon"On the way down town I saw you
looking real good, looking the other way
and I was hoping that you would not see me
I had nothing to say
It's been a long time but not too long
and not long enough I'm thinking to myself
how's your mom
and are you working in the same place
your hair got long and on and on
When I was waiting in a bar, where were you?
When I was buying you a drink, where were you?
When I was crying at home in bed, where were you?
When I watched you from a distance did you see me?
You were standing in a queue did you see me?
You had yellow hair, did you see me?
I want to talk to you all night, do you like me?
I want to find out about your life, do you like me?
Could you ever be my wife, do you love me?

Sometimes I can't wait to come down with cancer
At least then I'll get to watch tv all day
And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers even if all my questions are taken away
