need help with a song...


I remember a song my folks used to like in the 70's, the only thing I really remember about it was the chorus, something like...
"Now you're not there,
Now you're not there
Now you're not there".
It also sounded kinda sad.
Anyone ANY ideas what Im on about, Ive been trying to remember what it was for ages now!

Hmmm, I was thinking of the classic tune by Cracker:



CHORUS:
I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
What you waiting for? It ain't gonna suck itself

Well I flew out from Virginie on the very first day
I heard my record company exercise my pay to play
Went to see Mr. Lott but his assistant said no
(Brandy) Security will escort you to the parking lot
It was 102 degrees I was feeling kind of hot
So I walked across the street for one of those Mexican frozen popsicles
Couldn't buy just one so I bought myself a box
When I come back the assistant she's standing in the parking lot

No hard feelings do you want one of these?
But she looks at me like I was speaking Chinese
The security man walks up he helps himself to one
Coincidently Chinese and hot from standing in the sun
Then he helps himself to another he puts it in her hand
But she looks at it like it was a piece of crap
Or a dead and dying bird she didn't understand
So I was just trying to be helpful when I said...

CHORUS:
Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Oh Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
(Brandy) I beg to differ cousin, it should be, it ain't gonna lick itself
I do believe you're right cousin: It ain't gonna lick itself

Well I'm standing in the parking lot waiting on my ride
His name is Jackson Haring and he's still inside
He went in through mailroom for some record company swag
But this Virgin Records there ain't **** to be had
And the halls they was empty because everyone was laid off
And he took a wrong turn ends up in the tape vault
Only one thing to do when you’re standing face to face
With the Sticky Fingers, Let It Be master tapes

You've got to stick them in the satchel and head on the down the hall
Saying these will go nicely with that Residents eyeball
Many years ago while working for Bill Graham Presents
A prop eyeball was stolen backstage from The Residents
And the rumor went around that Jackson was the thief
But that's neither here nor there and I was sitting in the jeep
Looking at the Sticky Fingers master tapes
My popsicle’s dripping on the seat so I throw it out the window - it lands at the feet of Roy Lott

CHORUS:
Hey Roy, it ain't gonna suck itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
And one time for the ladies, It ain't gonna lick itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

CHORUS:
Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone at Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
One for the ladies, it ain't gonna lick itself
What you waiting for, it ain't gonna suck itself

CHORUS:
Mr. Lott, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone on Foothill Road, it ain't gonna suck itself
Just so we're not totally sexist, it ain't gonna lick itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself


Ain't Gonna Suck Itself

It's funny you say that, cos most of the time you only need to see the first and last letters of a word to know what it says...wonder what's on your mind
