Back in the early to mid 70's a song was released by either Harry Nilsson or Loudon Wainwright that contained the following lyrics (I am pretty sure it is Wainwright): "might be a plane crash, or some sort of O.D, hey there's gonna be a photograph with my obituary, you're gonna read it and you'll cry, you're gonna want to wear black, hey I'll be dead but you can bet your life, I'm gonna get you back" Thanks ------------------
Ignore my first suggestion. I think I nailed it now. The song's name is Unrequited to the Nth Degree : ------------------------------- Oh, when I die and it won't be long Hey, you're gonna be sorry that you treated me wrong Yeah, you're gonna be sorry that you treated me bad Hey, and if there's an afterlife I'll gloat and I'll be glad. Might be a plane crash or some sort of OD Hey, there's gonna be a photograph with my obituary You're gonna see it and you'll cry you're gonna wanna wear black Hey, I'll be dead but you can bet your life I'm gonna get you back I'm tired of bein' left up on your shelf I might not wait around, I might kill myself Not only would you miss me but you'll feel guilty, too Oh, 'd be dead but it'd be too late the joke would be on you So you better take warning and start treatin' me right start doin' the things that I think you should and you better not pout oh, and you better not cry the grim reaper is a commin' to town and I just might die! -- Loudon Wainwright III [This message has been edited by Dr of Dunk (edited July 13, 2001).]
Thanks DoD. I thought that may be it, but I was unable to find the lyrics or the song online anywhere. ------------------
