Cloned From:
#4 and #6 are both from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds -- #4 is "The Curse of Millhaven" and #6 is "Into My Arms". Rock.
3. Lost In The Supermarket - The Clash
Ah, and #2 is Spanish Bombs, of course.
No 1 is T-Rex - Ride A White Swan
More Cave! #17 is "The Lyre of Orpheus".
Also, I'm pretty sure #15 is "If I Should Fall from Grace with God" by the Pogues.
correct on the pogues, great song, some of my favorite lyrics and Nick Cave rules! hint: theres some more of cave's words on the list
10 would be Alison, by Elvis Costello.
#16 is Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright or anyone
the plastic spoon... The Who, of course! substitute.
