When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
I know this is a very late reply (seven years late in fact!) and you'll probably never see this, but I was looking for TMBG-related questions. There's a bit in You Don't Like me that goes:
I can see the future Like it's in the past You will never be my friend You don't like me
Could it be that? It was fairly new when you asked this question. It also reminds me of the narrative in '2082', which was also on Join Us.
Anyway, hello from the future!

I know that this was a song by They Might Be Giants, but hunting through their fan-run wiki has not helped me. In one of their songs, there's a bit that goes something like this:
"Remember that time in the past when we looked forward to the future, but all we saw was us looking into the past to that point when we looked at ourselves in the future?"
I don't remember the exact working. If I remember correctly, it's a total non-sequitur and unrelated to anything else in the song.
Any ideas?
