Song ID - (easy one)

I thought this was a Wilco/Billy Bragg song - yet I can't seem to find it on the disc (maybe I'm not listening long enough to the tracks .. but save me some time here...)

The lyrics that I can think of are:

"Can't live alone"

"Last night on earth"

both of which are repeated sort of as a chorus...

Izzat enough? Seems like it would be easy to identify - but I can't seem to find it ...

That sounds more like the Mekons' 'Last Night On Earth' off their album 'Journey to the End of the Night'.

There's an mp3 on Epitonic right about here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.. That's it. I never would have guesses Mekons. (That I don't know diddly about Mekons might be a contributing factor.) I have this song on a compilation disc .. that's how I had heard it but didn't remember what it was. Do any other Mekons songs sound anything like this? I never thought of them as "folksy"....
