It was from a benefit album. I have an original CD of it back in Oz. The name totally escapes me. It had all sorts of artists on it. I have the song on my iPod. Does anyone have a hacking programme I can use so I can upload it for y'all?

I could kick myself in the head for not having this song anymore, I distinctly remember some of the lyrics, like the line I posted above...

First verse should be something like

"when I got your cellphone call the other day
I felt your blue apology
and now I have no more regrets
you were so envious

checked in from your caverns
I left behind your lips (but this could also be where it was "touching all your teeth")
you looked at me
I don't have any regrets

aah-haah... powerless, powerless"

then something something sickly smile

"I'm just a little fuck"

yeah... that's all I remember from a couple of years ago...

Are we just assuming b/c Mike sings on it that he wrote it? Any confirmation of that in the album notes?
