I have two songs on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3). I have tried long-press, swipe to left and swipe to right, but I get no indication of a way to delete these two songs - swiping simply plays the song. I have done a factory reset but the songs re-download. I don't have a desktop computer so I can't use iTunes.

How do I delete these two songs? Is there a way to set the phone so it doesn't download songs if I do another factory reset?

It doesn't do anything when I swipe. I normally delete emails with a swipe-to-left, but there seems to be no swipe action on these two songs. I have purchased over 100 songs but these are the only two remaining on the phone.
 
Ok, I figured out how to delete these two songs:

Go to Settings > General > wait for everything to load and then tap Music. In Music, swipe the data and it will display a red "Delete" box. This was the only way to delete these two songs.
