Kom ihåg Silver Jews idag. Ni vet, en del band tappar man bort på vägen, och det är inte hela världen, men en del följer verkligen med en år efter år. Aimee Mann (hon som gjort soundtracket till Magnolia?) är en sån som bara hänger med, slittålig tjej det. Silver Jews är också det, egentligen, men nu har det gått några månader sen sist. Sjukt bra är de, hursomhelst:

            

Radio's on, feeling all right
Cruising the strip on a Saturday night.
I smile and I wave and I hide all my pain
but the sign on my bumper gives me away:

Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend to get through the night
A toot on your horn, a flash of your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight.

I know honky-tonk where we can go.
A booth in the back with the lights way down low.
The jukebox is playing a sad melody
for heart-broken lovers like you and me.

We'll laugh and we'll flirt and we'll dance every dance
and before the night's over we'll make romance.
The morning will find us with a smile on our face
and we'll be together in a lover's embrace.

(chorus)

I know it seems sad to be so damn blue
but there's always the chance that you'll meet someone new.
I know that somewhere waiting for me
is a sad lonely lover with a bumper that reads:

(chorus)
