Last Dance by Mekons

This song by one of my fave old-school punk bands the Mekons is such a beautiful and melancholy meditation on love that will never be:

So beautiful, you were waltzing
Little frozen rivers all covered with snow
All fragmented and broken up
Oh well I guess it's time to go

I love that quirky punk-meets-country sound, and Tom Greenhalgh's plaintive wailing, "It'll be alri--ight."

Here's a live version if you'd like to see it, but I think the studio rendering is better. If you do have a chance to see Mekons live, do it. Their energy is amazing.
