I fully and completely LOVE this song!! 🙃❤ 🎧
I don’t remember when I first heard it but I think it was HyperNormalisation (2016) and Adam Curtis that refreshed my enjoyment of it.

The Mekons - Where Were You?
[Chorus]
When I was waiting in the bar, where were you?
When I was buying you a drink, where were you?
When I was crying home in bed, where were you?
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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 like me?
[Chorus]
When I was waiting in the bar, where were you?
When I was buying you a drink, where were you?
When I was crying home in bed, where were you?
[Verse 1]
When I watched you from a distance, did you see me?
When I was standing the queue, did you see me?
You had yellow hair, did you see me?
[Verse 2]
I want to talk to you all night, do you like me?
I want to find out about your life, do you like me?
And could you ever be my wife, do you love me?
