There’s a song I’ve heard a few times on the radio, usually only the tail end of it, and I’d like to know the who and what of it. It plays on the “alternative” stations, sung by a woman, kind of hypnotic in its sound. It trails off with a repeated line, something like: “Wait, they don’t love you like I love you…” The song is relatively recent, I think, but I’ve never caught the whole thing, and of course the DJ never bothers to tell you what he or she just played (apparently, you’re just supposed to figure these things out by telepathy).

Any suggestions?

“Maps” by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It’s off their 2003 album [Fever to Tell](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE4781ED84AA97320C2933945CFB575F30FDF45FB881F264B53DDB33068850262EC5DFC85D3E2A528F811D9B959ED0974B686E949FBC3643D3D88A2A46A3B3A4107003525FD&sql=10:4b831vy4zz9a).
