I'd say it must be White Stripes 'Seven Nation Army.' Can't recall too many other songs that have "Witchita" in them.

First words of a verse, not the song... Poink is probably correct,
Seven Nation Army: White Stripes.

I'm gonna fight em' off.
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back.
They're gonna rip it off.
Takin' their time right behind my back.
And I'm talkin to myself at night, bcause I cant forget.
Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette

And a message come from my eyes, says leave it alone.

Dont wanna hear about it.
Every single ones got a story to tell.
Everyone knows about it.
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell.
And if I catch you comin back my way, I'm gonna serve it to you.
And that aiin't what you want to hear, but thats what I'll do.

And a feelin' comin from my bones, says find a home.

Im goin' to Witchita.
Far from this opera forever more.
Im gonna work the straw.
Make the sweat drip out of every pore.
And I'm bleedin' and I'm bleedin' and Im bleedin' right before my lord.
All the words are gonna bleed from me, and I will think no more.

And the stains comin from my blood, tell me go back home

You won't be disappointed, I promise. After you get Elephant, you need to get De Stijl. Then get s/t and WBC.

It's quite good, Spike. Black Math kinda sucks (it just grates on me), so I was real worried, it being only the second track and all, but the rest of the cd is a damn good save.

Cold Cold Night really stayed with me after my one listen last night. I found that going through my head today at work even more than 7 Nation.

Good stuff.

Does anyone else wish the videos would focus on Meg just a little more?

Only one I've seen is 7 Nation, so I've got to say, based on that alone... yes.

anyone know what the next radio single/video is? i personally hope its "the air benieth my fingers". oh and if your a meg white fan, you might want to hope the next single is "in a cold cold night" since she is the singer for that song.

My guess would be either There's No Home For You Here or The Air Near My Fingers. Actually, the local indie radio station has been playing an Elephant b-side, Blackjack Davey, for a couple of months now, so I don't know what it will be.

...that might be my favorite song on the album. Jack's solo is completely unhinged and sounds great.
